Summer is half over, but you can still tackle your fat before beach season is over.

Let's talk back fat. There's nothing inherently dangerous about it (like abdominal fat), but it's surely no fun to sport that flab that pops out around your swimsuit and shows through a fitted t-shirt.

Many people are vulnerable to back fat -- it can sneak up as you age, it happens when you gain a little bit of weight and poorly fitted clothing can really accentuate it. All hope is not lost, however, as Prevention magazine tells the TODAY Show. Invest in cardio five times a week to combat the calories you put into your body -- then target, strengthen and sculpt. The four exercises featured in the video above will head you in the right direction, and you could see results in just two to three weeks.
