Ignore This Workout at Your Own Peril: Best Exercises to Burn Your Man Boobs
Having man boobs is an embarrassing condition which is now becoming very common. Men are resorting to srgery procedures to get rid of their man boobs, but the reality is that the damage that has been done to their bodies throughout the years, as a result of imbalances in their diets and lifetsyles, can be undone with the proper knowledge and will, without paying an expensive surgeon. Having right diet, avoiding exposition to dangerous chemicals that cause hormone imbalances, and taking dietary supplements is the way to go.
On this article we are going to focus on the aspect of choosing the right workout to crush your man boobs.
Contrary to what most people would have you believe, the best workout is NOT the one that requires more effort and will power. See, most people think that in order to burn fat they need to run 3 miles a day, 5 days a week, or something completely ridiculous like that. We have been led to believe that everything in life needs to be hard and painful. And the reality is that this kind of training will only add to your pain by releasing cortisol in your body, and causing more cravings.
The best exercise to burn fat, increase your testosterone levels, and to increase your youth hormone activity, is by all means what people call peak training, also referred to as high intensity interval training. We won’t go into the details of why this is the best exercise for you to reduce your man boobs, that will be the subject of another article, and possibly an ebook in the future. We will however discuss the best exercised you can practise in your routine.
Cardio interval training is an exercise regime that most people are unaware of. A common cardio workout involves a steady and continuous effort, while an interval cardio exercise alternates the periods of effort and rest. When performed in a correct manner, this form of exercise triggers the release of your body’s natural fat burning hormone, boosts your metabolism for hours after your workout, and reduces more calories in your body than the conventional cardio vascular exercises.
To have an idea of what interval training for a simple running routine will look like, here is an example:
- 3 minutes warm up (jogging or walking)
- 1 minute running at 70%-90% effort
1 minute running at 20%-40% effort
(repeat seven times) - 3 minutes warm down (jogging or walking)
Below are some of the cardiovascular exercises that are recommended to get rid of those man boobs. You can apply the interval training together with any of the chosen exercises. Within a few interval trainings, you will realize that your body is burning fat and also getting rid of your man boobs, too.
- Running – one of the simplest exercises that is great for any form of weight loss. This exercise doesn’t need any special equipment and can be done anytime and anywhere.
- Bicycling – whether you’re outdoors or indoors, cycling is an excellent cardio workout.
- Elliptical Trainer – the elliptical trainer is the most popular cardio machine at the gym and a fantastic calorie burner.
- Rowing – an effective exercise for your chest muscles and for releasing stress.
- Swimming – another great cardiovascular routine to burn more fats since it will involve more body parts to move and workout.
- Jumping rope – this is another effective calorie-burner. Start by jumping for 1-2 minutes at a time, taking breaks by marching in place and swinging your rope in a figure of eight motion. Continue alternating for 10-20 minutes and repeat marching in place to apply the interval training.
- Jumping Jacks – this is a simple yet effective exercise. All you need to do is to jump to a position with the legs spread wide and the hands touching overhead and then returning to a position with the feet together and the arms at the sides. Interval training can easily be applied with this routine.
- Treadmill – Treadmills are designed to help users perform simple exercises like walking, jogging, running. Exercising using this machine is a great way to burn calories and improve cardio vascular health.
Do not do this more than 3 times a week. You need your body to be able to recover from the strain. In fact, proper recovery is as crucial as doing the actual exercises.
In future articles we will discuss how you can combine peak training exercises with weight lift exercises for an optimal effect in your body.
Reducing Man Boobs
Let’s be honest, depending on where you are in life it may not be entirely reasonable to be trying to eliminate those man boobs. Not that it won’t be possible eventually, but setting your sights on such a lofty goal is probably just going to create a lot of frustration.
Ever hear the phrase ‘baby steps’? That’s what we’re talking about, really. Especially when dealing with issues that can affect your feelings about yourself, your self esteem, it’s best to work on controlling your successes. In other words, create goals and situations that lead you to success, even if it’s in small doses.
You may have been told before that one of the best ways to maintain a task list is to write each task down on a separate piece of paper. Then when you complete one of your tasks, you can tear up the note and throw it away. The brain reacts positively to that tiny victory, which in terms makes you feel better and improves your overall attitude. We’re talking about the same principal here.
Establish a reasonable goal for reducing your man boobs. Something that will be a reasonable improvement, but something that can be achieved in a small amount of time (1-2 weeks for something like this, maybe double that at the longest). Once you reach that goal, you’ll be encouraged and have a fresh incentive to set a new goal of reducing them even further.
If you continue to move down this path, eventually you’ll find that one round of man boob reduction gets you to a point where they are barely even there. Without even realizing it you will have eliminated your man boobs. As someone that hates to run, I have to take this same approach to get through any kind of jogging. I can’t focus on the finish line because I get very down. Instead I break it up into smaller pieces that I can tackle – like an upcoming sign or tree or whatever. Then when I reach it I look for the next marker and focus on that. By the time I finish worrying about all the small milestones, I’ve arrived at the end.
