Man boobs are no joke. However, many people laugh and make fun of those who suffer from this condition. If you have ever felt the embarrassing sting of somebody picking on you because of the excessive fat in your pecs, it's time that you take the proper action.
The proper action is creating a fitness program that utilizes specific exercises to eliminate those man boobs once and for all. In this article, I will discuss with you four easy exercises you can utilize to cut back on the fat in your chest and replace it with muscle.
The first exercise is push-ups. The great thing about these is you can do them practically anywhere and at any time. Many people with man boobs find they can't really do any push-ups at first.
This means that you are out of shape and you need to do push-ups more than anybody else. In this case, start lightly -- do small sets of 2 or even 1. If you have to, start on your knees and then slowly work up to being able to do push-ups correctly.
The second exercise is skipping rope. This is a great cardiovascular exercise which will burn up fat, boost up your metabolism, and work your upper body as well as your arms. A good program here is to start with one minute of jumping rope, followed by a thirty second rest.
Start by committing a half hour a day every other day. That means that you will have jumped rope for 20 minutes out of your 30 minute workout.
The third exercise is to be used on the days that you are not jumping rope. Here, you go out for a jog. Again, the idea is to simply get 30 minutes of cardiovascular workout. For many people, it is unwise for them to run a full 30 minutes until they get back in shape. Otherwise, their muscles and joints are sore.
Again, utilize a program that allows you to run for five minutes, followed by a minute of walking. Experiment to find the right balance. Then, as you get in better shape, you can run more and walk less.
The fourth exercise is a seated chest press. In this way, you will work out your pectoral muscles directly, and this is the best exercise to accomplish that.
There you have it -- four simple exercises that you can use to reduce your man boobs.
