Plenty of men all over the world suffer from gynecomastia, more commonly known as man boobs. Even though having man boobs have no health implications, it is still a very humiliating condition. If you have man boobs then you may have a hard time finding shirts that can hide your rather puffy nipples, you may even have to wear another shirt underneath just to hide your embarrassing chest. If you are tired of having your self-confidence drained little-by-little, then you should get some exercise; and just to make things more interesting for you, here are the best sports to eliminate man boobs that you can try.
Rowing
Have you seen a professional dragonboat crew member who has man boobs? No, you have not because there are none in existence. You can also get the same kind of well-defined pecs, free from anything resembling mammary glands, if you join an amateur rowing team. Not only will you get in great shape just by joining the sport, you will also learn the value of teamwork. The sport may be hard, but with your teammates cheering you on, it is pretty hard to quit.
Swimming
Swimming is not just one of the best sports to eliminate man boobs, it can also help tone your entire body. When you are in the water, almost all of your body’s muscle groups are in constant motion, especially your pecs and arm muscles. Swimming a couple of laps every day in your local olympic-sized swimming pool will make you burn a lot of calories, hopefully more than the amount you receive from your diet.
After a couple of months, your swimming routine will leave you with a much stronger cardiovascular system and a sculpted swimmer’s body, sans the man boobs; this means you no longer have to wear a shirt when you go swimming with your family and friends.
Running and/or Cycling
Any cardio workout is effective at eliminating man boobs. There is no truth to spot training, to get rid of your man boobs you need to train your entire body so that almost all of the stored fats are metabolized. Running a couple of miles, or cycling to and from work can and will help you burn most of the fat in your body, and this includes your man boobs.
