Workouts For Losing Man Boobs

Most men who suffer with man boobs have them because they are overweight due to overeating and lack of exercise. So if you fall into this category your question on how to threw of man boobs as just been answered for you. You need to start a diet and exercise program designed to eliminate man boobs.

Let's start with the exercise part. To lose man boobs we need to do two things lose fat and build muscle. To lose fat we need to participate in cardio exercise that increases our heart rate enough to start tapping into our fat reserves and burning this fat for fuel. To achieve this we need to exercise at a rate were we are lightly perspiring and not out of breath to the point were we could hardly speak. Most people would jump onto the treadmill for 30 to 60 minutes and work really hard, but this is were they are going wrong, sure by working hard you are burning lots of calories, but instead of the body using fat for fuel it's using muscle as well. We do not prefer to do this, the more muscle we have the more calories we burn each day . Look for a cardio workout of around 45 minutes on one machine. The best types of cardio exercise are cycling, fast walking, rowing and jogging.

We have got the fat burning sorted now, so it's now time to build some muscle on that chest, which would really assist in your chest's overall appearance. To build muscle we need to start an exercise routine that involves lifting weights. To lose man boobs we need to hit the chest muscles from every angle. So the exercise we would be doing to achieve this is the flat and incline bench press, the flat bench press would work the lower and middle part of the chest and the incline would work the upper part. If you are weight training on your own it would be advisable to perform these exercises on a bench press machine. If you have a competent training partner to spot you whilst training, free weights would be your best option. You should always do a few warm up sets first before you begin. Warm up sets should be roughly 15 reps and the weight should be about 50% of the maximum weight that you could lift. When you have completed the warm up sets and your chest muscles are warmed up, look to complete 4 sets of 8 - 12 reps and train to failure. If you could lift more than 12 reps increase the weight and decrease the weight if you cannot lift 8 reps. By training to failure on each set you would really give your chest a killer workout which would set you on your way to losing your man boobs.

One of the biggest advantages of weight training is its ability to increase the metabolism and not only do we burn lots of calories during the training, this increased calorie burn lasts for many hours after you have completed your training.
