Bye Bye Man Boobs

Want to get rid of those embarrassing man boobs that stop you getting into your trunks by the pool. Well here's how you do it.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Trainers
  • work out clothes
  • dumbells - light or medium depending on your preference.
  1. Step 1

    Moobs, the modern day name for man boobs, can ruin the look of any shirt and turn men into shrinking violets when it comes to sunbathing. Great pecs are what we all want and before you stop reading, these exercises are for women too who want to have a toned chest.

    A tight, toned chest is a great asset for the summer for everyone and so here's how to target the torso

  2. Step 2
    Wide Arm Press Up
    Wide Arm Press Up

    Wide arm press ups - The original chest exercise and still one of the best.
    The standard press up works both chest and triceps and by moving the position of your hands you can choose which area works the most. The wide arm position makes the chest work more.
    Start with your regular press up position with your chest above your hands
    Step your hands out so their wider apart than your shoulders
    Bend your arms and lower your chest and shoulders almost to the ground
    Keep your stomach tight
    Straighten your arms to return to the start position
    Repeat x 15

  3. Step 3
    Flyes
    Flyes

    Flyes
    Lie face up with your knees bent and feet flat
    Hold a pair of dumbbells above your chest
    Maintain a very slight bend in your arms throughout this movement
    Keep your tummy tight
    Slowly lower the weights towards the floor
    Just before your arms touch the floor, squeeze your chest muscles to lift the weights back to the start position
    Repeat x 15
    At the top of each movement make sure the weights are over your chest and not above your head

Tips & Warnings
  • Try to do both of these exercise 3/4 times a week. in combination with a healthy and balanced diet, you will start to notice toning in that chest area. remember, the man boobs came from inactivity so keep the activity levels up and undo the damage.
  • These exercises are suitable for any who is a beginner to exercise. Take it slowly at first and increase weights once you get used to doing the exercises.
