It took me a long time to really understand what a FUPA was. After all, it’s another one of these crazy trending terms that refers to a body’s trouble area. The FUPA stands for the Fatty Upper Pubic (some people use the other term) Area. Yikes. Just like “hip dips” and “bat wings”, hearing this new weightloss term makes me cringe when it comes to fitness and health. This term refers to the fatty pooch right above that vaginal area that we often get postpartum, after pregnancy, but you can totally just have one due to excess fat. The FUPA is also called a “panniculus.”

Let me just say you cannot and will not ever be able to spot reduce. You. Just. Cant. Ok? Also… I would like to think that a “FUPA” is quite normal for a woman as we tend to store excess fat around this area due to hormones and of course being female. So what can you do about it?

With diet and exercise together, you can trim and tone your midsection to help decrease your FUPA fat. By decreasing your overall body fat percentage, you an help a ton with this. You also will want to make a note to manage your stress hormones as cortisol plays a huge role in your body physically holding onto fat which could affect your goal of getting rid of your FUPA.

The Best FUPA Exercises

First and foremost, you will need to rely on cardio. Cardio is essential for fat loss. It burns calories and fat and is also good for your general health. Most people should do cardio 3-5 times a week, aiming to accumulate the recommended 150 minutes over that time. Both low-intensity steady-state cardio and high-intensity interval training can be effective, and you may even benefit from doing both of these types of exercise, e.g., LISS one day and HIIT the next. HIIT is where you do short bursts of workouts. For example, short sprints with short periods of rest. LISS is more of a steady cardio so as an example think of yourself walking at a moderate pace on a treadmill for 45 minutes and you will have a good idea. Here are my favorite exercises to get rid of the FUPA! Be sure to watch the YouTube video and subscribe to my channel for more goodies.
