Does exercise help you to get rid of gynecomastia? Well, yes, to a certain extent. But it's important to understand that the underlying causes of the condition need to be approached in different ways.How does the condition come about? Well, for most of us it starts at puberty, when the male body is undergoing substantial change in response to hormone fluctuations. In some of us, as well as testosterone levels increasing, causing our voices to break, genitals to grow, facial hair to develop etc., estrogen levels also increase. This has the effect of laying down extra tissue on our chests. Remember, this tissue is not fat. If you were a woman, this tissue would go on to become milk-producing tissue. But for men, it just lies there, doing nothing except giving us man boobs and making our lives a misery On top of this, if we are at all overweight, fat will be deposited on this tissue, further enhancing the man boobs effect.Remember that a woman?s breast is made up of the milk-secreting tissue mentioned above, and lots of fat too. So they are in pretty much the same situation, except they don?t want to get rid of them.Now exercise can deal with the fat on your chest to some extent. But when we exercise to lose fat, the fat is usually lost at pretty much the same rate, all over our bodies. So general exercise is unlikely to have a marked effect on your chest. You will need specially developed exercises.You will probably discover that push-ups are ineffective. They don?t exercise the right muscle groups. Swimming is better, especially if you use breast stroke rather than front crawl. But it still tends to enhance the shoulders rather than the chest muscles.I did try to exercise by lying on my back with my arms stretched out like a letter T. Then to raise 4 pound weights up above my head, one hundred times each day. This did seem to improve the muscles of my chest, but, I have to say, it didn?t do much for getting rid of the fat. It just shows that if you go about something like this on a do it yourself basis, then you are almost certain to be doomed to failure. And the problem with that is that when we fail at something we become disillusioned and disheartened. Then we give up. The secret is to use a process that works from day one.Luckily for us physiologists have come up with a fully designed system to eliminate gynecomastia that includes: ? A program of dietary management that will help you get rid of any excess weight ? A range of specially developed exercises that are designed to target the problem areas ? Crucially, a system designed to bring your hormones into line. I'm sure you know that gynecomastia is caused by hormone imbalances.So there you have it, the complete package, dealing with all three components in one go. It will take a little time and effort on your part. But it will be worth it, I can assure you.
