Man Boobs: Don't Let Them Happen To You
As the weather begins to change, and we’re thinking more of hibernating than going to the beach, there's no better time to warn against the dangers of man boobs!
According to Jeff Bayer at AskMen.com, men get man boobs for two main reasons, the first cause being if a man is "simply overweight." However, Jeff goes on to say that there is a second reason: "The second reason guys get man boobs is due to a medical condition called gynecomastia [which] is a hormonal condition in which the body produces an increased amount of estrogen and a decreased amount of testosterone. " If this is the case, often times medical attention is sought after.
Bayer also gives a couple of how-to tips to get rid of any unwanted man cleavage!:
- Interval training: Interval training is your best option because it will kick your metabolism into high gear.
- Running: Generally, the best mode of cardiovascular exercise to do for fat loss.
- Rowing: Rowing is a great form of exercise for fighting man boobs since it encompasses all your upper body muscles.
- Elliptical machine: This machine is a great calorie burner since it uses both arms and legs, and it is easy on the joints.
- Playing sports: Playing sports goes a long way in helping you burn stubborn body fat, thus preventing the development of man boobs.
For the complete lists of exercises and tips, check out Jeff Bayer's AskMen.com article, "Win the Man Boob Battle." (link)

@ImperialDoctrinesOfTheNewWorld@xanga - haha same here.
@chow@ireallylikefood - YES!
Yeah...guy should not have bigger boobs than me. That's just awkward.
HaHa It's sad when a guy has bigger boobs than me, because for one it's sad on my behalf because I already have small boobs and it's somewhat easy to accomplish LOL and secondly because no guy should have man boobs, only perfectly toned pecs =)
Nasty.
what the fuck @ lopsidey.
man boobs are one of the most unattractive things ever. i hate it when my boyfriend refers to his pecs as "boobs," it's just gross, and i'm all "YOU don't have boobs. I have boobs."
scary
@LoveYouToDeath16@xanga - Bahaha, I feel the same way.
This is not very nice. Some people have "man boobs" because they have liver conditions. =/
