Summer is here and If you want to flaunt daring outfits in parties that show off a sexy back, you'll have to take prep first!

Be it sexy plunging blouses or chic backless gowns, one can't wear these outfits without a 'wow' back. Here are some tips from experts on how to bring sexy back:

I suggest smart exercises that involve short, intense bursts of activity. For example, on days when you're working out your back, do back exercises followed by a few minutes of cardio, and then return to working out your back. The pattern is: compound moves-cardio-compound moves. This is also known as interval sessions and is the fastest way to burn fat and get a sexy back. Stand Tall & Relax.

If you have marks, acne or pigmentation on your back, start prepping (list below) at least 10-12 weeks in advance. If you have mild problems, 4-6 weeks should be enough.

• Do not wax your back very close to the occasion. It can induce acne-like eruptions. Try bleaching if you have to camouflage back hair on wax early.
