Get Rid of Gynecomastia Through Exercise
Typically experienced by at least more than a third of the male’s population, gynecomastia is a physical condition that involves the enlargement of the male breast. The condition itself is not a medical threat. But it can lead to feelings of self-consciousness and embarrassment.
The result of a hormonal imbalance, men can manage gynecomastia, which is colloquially known as “man boobs”, by making lifestyle changes so as not to develop bigger breasts. In some cases, surgery may be required but for many, diet and exercise is enough to keep the body fit and trim, reducing the development of the condition.
Chest Exercises
Doing chest exercises build muscles, instead of fats, in the breast area. You can perform these chest exercises at the gym or in the home, given that you have to have the right equipment.
Pushups
Facing downwards to the floor, with hands apart and leveled to the shoulder, and with the feet close together at the back, begin pushing your body up while putting most of your body weight on the extended arms. Slowly pull yourself down, making sure to bend your elbows. Do this motion repeatedly until you’ve achieved the desired push-up count. Once you get the hang of this exercise, you can do many variations of the push-up to make it more challenging.
Incline Dumbbell Press
On the incline bench, sit down comfortably and let your lower thighs relax. With dumbbells on both hands and the elbows to the side, stretch your arms all the way up and slightly inwards, then down to the sides of your shoulders. Do this repeatedly. You should start feeling your shoulders and chest stretching. Make sure that your arms follow an arched pattern as you carefully lift the dumbbells to avoid getting injured.
Chest Dips
Step on a wide dip bar, with your hips and knees slightly bent and your arms relaxed on the base. Then start lowering your body, with your arms still on its base, but allowing the elbows to flare to the sides. Pull your body up and straighten your arms again. Repeat the process.
Flys
You can do this standing, seated or lying down using two pulleys with dumbbells attached on each end. Whatever position you decide on brings a similar effect. Hold the pulleys on both hands, and pull this to your abdomen, as if you are hugging someone. Elbows and shoulders must be in a fixed position, and then release yourself by slowly letting go of the pulleys and have your arms returned to the side.
Other Form of Exercises
Other forms of aerobic activity — such as running, jogging or biking — work effectively to eliminate man boobs, as these help burn fat into energy.
