How to Lose Man Boobs
I wanted to know how to lose man boobs ever since my girlfriend came up from behind and grabbed two handfulls of flabby, fleshy breast tissue and jiggled them about. I hadn’t really noticed them before but years of beer and burgers had taken their toll. I was hugely embarrassed but didn’t really know where to start. I initially started doing tens and then hundreds of press ups a night which made no difference whatsoever. I did look into surgery but I was scared of going under the knife and I knew that the problem wasn’t just my man boobs but fat all over my body. I also found out that all this fat over my body was producing the female hormone estrogen which was also contributing to my breast formation. The answer to me was obvious – LOSE FAT.
It is important to note at this point that man boobs between the ages of 12 and 18 are quite normal and mainly due to hormones produced at puberty. These will often disappear into adulthood. After the age of 25 they are not normal, and that is the time to take action.
If you are a member of gym or have access to gym equipment than a good basic exercise to do is the bench press. This must be done with a partner to help you with lifting the weights and for safety should the weight become too difficult to lift off your chest. You basically lie on your back and hold a barbell with your hands around shoulder width apart. You then lower the barbell slowly to your chest and then push it back up until your arms are back to the straightened position where you started. It is important to lower the barbell slowly and not drop the weight quickly allowing it to bounce off your chest.
The next two important factors are calories. It is necessary to reduce your calorie intake and to burn those excess calories, that you eat and have stored in your body as fat, off.
Good exercises are walking, jogging, swimming and cycling. If you have not exercised in some time it is important to start off slowly and consult your doctor if you have any health problems or concerns.
The hardest part is putting all this information together into a program that you can follow. If you are starting out and just looking to initially lose fat then a great program to start with is Fat Loss 4 Idiots. If you are looking to build a bit of muscle and get toned at the same time then Vince Delmonte’s No Nonsense Muscle Building Program is the program I would go for. You have to pay for both of these programs but they will enable you to get started straight away with a program that works and will save you heaps of time rather than doing all your own research online which when I started out took me months.
The secret of how to lose man boobs is to get started straight away and to follow a plan consistently.
