Get Rid Of Those Moobs

Nataly | July 24, 2009

Muffin tops and bingo wings, these are fairly new terms which describe areas of unwanted fat on women but moobs has become known as a way to describe unwanted male breasts.Body image therapist Emma James explain what moobs are, Theyre fatty deposits on the mammary area of men, more commonly known as male breast tissue. Moobs have been around from some time, but in recent years have acquired more attention as the focus of perfection has highlighted an area which until now has remained an accepted part of carrying additional weight for men.Emma says Men get moobs due to, An increase in female hormone levels which can come from weight increase, lack of physical activity, age and decreased testosterone. Due to our lowered level of manual work and general activity and a more sedentary lifestyle, the amount of exercise we do has decreased and our body fat percentages have increased.She comments, Just like women, men have certain areas where the body fat is harder to shift with dieting and exercise. For women it is the thighs, lower back, lower abdominals and buttocks. For men, it is the stomach, lower back and moobs/chest area.If you have a pair of unwanted moobs, Emma describes how to get rid of them. “A combination of diet and exercise will promote testosterone, increase muscle tissue and shape the moob area. If you dont diet when exercising, you will build muscle under the fat and possibly make them worse. First decide on an eating plan which will speed up metabolism and also help you lose body fat such as the Rebel Diet plan. Modify your eating, cut out the processed foods, lower the bread intake and anything which is high in salts.” Get yourself to the gym, there are a number of exercises which will help to shape your pectoral (chest) muscles and you need to keep the rep range to a fat burning level of 12 to 20 reps and really work it. Remember to work the upper, mid and lower areas of the chest, so if using dumbbells on a bench – do dumbbell press flat, then incline and then decline. Emma is a sports, social anxiety and body image therapist. She also helps people overcome and deal with weight and eating related issues. Her therapy practice is based in Manchester. She is also the author of Rebel Diet.
