How To Lose Man Boobs (about man boobs and what works and doesnt work)

By Steve Brodie

There is a significant portion of the male population who will experience breast development, or man boobs, clinically known as gynecomastia, which is the breast tissue in the chest swelling. Typically man boobs occur temporarily during situations such as adolescence and other times of hormonal upheavals in the body. In older men it is often the result of drugs involving hormones, and of course hormonal imbalances induced by external environmental factors, and of course excess weight. If there is a rise in estrogen, or a lowering of testosterone the results in men can equal man boobs.

Man boobs can be a very embarrassing condition for men. For the most part it is psychological discomfort and stigmatization that is resultant from having man boobs. Some go the extent of wearing specially designed compression vest to hide their man boobs and this only increases the feeling of isolation because it makes playing sports, swimming or going to the beach a source of embarrassment.

It is wrong to think that gynecomastia only affects overweight or obese men, even slim men can get man boobs. This means that simple exercise focused on fat loss doesnt always meet with success for man boobs. You need to combine exercises specifically designed for man boobs with diet and lifestyle alterations for true success.

There are surgeries available like reduction mammoplasty, however it should be a last resort because of the associated risks and high prices tag. The surgery usually requires either excess fat or gland excision (depending on the underlying cause).

Targeted exercises that burn fat on the chest are important, especially if your man boobs are resultant from excess weight. While hormonally related man boobs can be far more difficult to deal with, in either case exercise is an important part.
