Getting Rid of Man Boobs
If you want to know how to get rid of man boobs first forget all those pictures of rippling, flexed, ripped chests. You don’t need to be aiming for that to get rid of those flabby mounds of fat tissue that lie over your chest muscles. However, the step to getting a firm set of ripped chest muscles is only small one. Ask any girl whether she prefers to grad a set of flabby flashy mounds or a firm set of rock hard pecs. I know, I was in that position not all that long ago. Too much beer and burgers had left me with a bigger cup size than her, seriously! I had looked at surgery and hormone tablets but the problem (or problems!) were staring me in the face – to much fat. Extra fat in the body also produces the female hormone estrogen which is responsible for producing breasts in women. So, after I thought about it for a while it became obvious – not only would losing fat get rid of those fleshy moobs it would also reduce my bodies natural estrogen levels which were contributing to the problem. By the way, this excess estrogen can also affect your fertility.
If you are between the ages of 12 and 18 and have man boobs then I would advise doing nothing for the time being. They are often due to your bodies hormones that are produced around the time of puberty and will often disappear into adulthood. If you are over 25 then it is time to do something about it.
If you want to know how to get rid of man boobs the first thing we need to look at is your calorie intake. Beer and sweets are one of the biggest culprits as they are high in calories. It is time to say no and cut them out. As you get older your bodies metabolism slows down which means you are more likely to accumulate fat and also means you are going to have to cut down your calories as you get older.
The next thing to look at is burning those calories. In order to do this we need to perform cardio routines. They are basically routines that increase your heart rate and use your bodies muscles to burn the calories and therefore fat. If you’ve not exercised for a long period of time then simple walking can be a great fat burner. An hours walk will burn around a massive 450 calories! Swinging your arms, like you see those power walkers do uses more muscles and therefore will burn even more calories. Exercises such as jogging, swimming and cycling are again great cardio workouts and fat burners.
The hardest part is putting this all together into a routine that you can plan and stick to as consistency is they key to this sort of program. I have tried a number of programs in the past and a good one for fat loss is Fat Loss 4 Idiots. Don’t be put off by the name!. If you are looking to build a bit of muscle as well and get toned then Vince Delmonte’s No Nonsense Muscle Building Program is my choice. It is a full program for both muscle building and fat loss.
There are no great secrets in knowing how to get rid of man boobs, you just need to get over the first hurdle and start – TODAY.
