Tips On How To Get Rid Of Man Boobs

By Derek Silverman


Most guys aspire to have a lean, muscular upper body area, to make them them look fit, strong and attractive. Many men, however, carry a lot of weight around this area, and when this gets flabby it can look like a set of particularly saggy female breasts. This is an embarrassing condition, and some men even have surgery to correct the problem. However, there are tips on how to get rid of man boobs naturally, which are far safer, cheaper and less painful.

To improve the condition of the chest area, you need to reduce your overall body weight, and incorporate regular muscle strengthening exercises. Start by focusing on your diet, and try to cut out unhealthy foods as much as possible. Encourage your family to eat nutritious home cooked meals and fill up on whole grains, fresh fruit and vegetables and lean protein.

Cardiovascular exercise, which raises the heart rate to a significant degree, is also essential for successful weight loss. Activities such as jogging, cycling or power walking are ideal, or you can use the machines found in most gyms like the treadmill or cross trainer. Aim for a minimum of 30 minutes 3 times a week, and increase the frequency, duration and intensity as you get fitter.

Alongside these dietary changes, you also need to increase your activity level substantially. Start by doing some type of cardio exercise, such as jogging, cycling or power walking 3-4 times a week. Choose an activity you enjoy and increase the duration and intensity as you get fitter.

Avoid the temptation to lift heavier weights than you can manage. As your strength increases, your weights should gradually increase. Your trainer will advise you on the correct technique and it is vital that you follow this to avoid injury.

Pectoral squeezes and chest presses are both highly effective upper body exercises, which will help reduce unwanted fat in this area. You can use free weights or exercise machines, and ensure that you are familiar with the correct technique. Start with relatively light weights, increasing your load as you get stronger, and always have a rest day between workouts.
