How To Get Rid Of Man Boobs - The Power of Push-Ups

Man boobs are deposits of excessive fat in the chest area. The medical term for this condition is Gynecomastia (sometimes written as Gynaecomastia). A great percentage of the male population develops man boobs. In fact, some experts claim that up to 40% of men will develop man boobs to a certain degree during their lifetime. While this condition poses no health hazards, it is a source of great embarrassment and demolishes the self-confidence and social life of those who suffer from it.

There are a number of treatments for man boobs, but in this article I want to write about a fundamental exercise which helps reduce man boobs. While this exercise, by itself, will not eliminate your man boobs entirely, it is a step in the right direction and may provide a great degree of improvement.

I'm referring to push-ups. Yes, the old classic push-us exercise. Why are push-ups so effective in helping you to get rid of your man boobs? Because push-ups mainly work the chest muscles. If you exercise your chest it will become firmer and look much better.

There are several ways to do push-ups in order to target different areas of your chest:

1. The standard push-up with your feet and hands placed on the floor. This variation works the general chest muscles. This exercise is of medium difficulty.

2. Placing your hands on an elevated surface, such as a couch, and keeping your feet on the floor will tone the lower part of your chest more than the other parts. This version of the push-up is of low difficulty.

3. Placing your feet on an elevated surface and your hands on the floor will tone the upper part of your chest. This is an exercise of high difficulty. The higher your feet are, the more difficult the exercise will become.

I suggest doing sets of all 3 variations. This will give your pectorals an all around workout and will help reduce your man boobs.

Here are a few tips on how to safely perform push-ups:

1. Place your hands on the floor spaced at about the width of your shoulders. A too big a space between your hands will hurt your back, while placing your hands close to each other will mainly exercise your triceps and not your chest.

2. Don't put your hands with the palms straight down on the floor. This will strain your wrists and may cause painful inflammation. Work on your fists or buy push-up handles which can be found in any sporting goods store.

3. If your back starts to ache stop doing push-ups for a while.

Push-ups can be done almost anywhere. All you need is a floor and some determination.

If you really want to get rid of your man boobs, push-ups are a good place to start, but this is but the first step. There's no excuse for not working to eliminate your man boobs. A lot of men do it everyday. You can do it too.
