Starling Fitness: Daily writings on Fitness, Diet, and Health

I fully expected to hate this video from VideoJug. Life explained? I had a hard time believing that a video entitled, “How To Get Rid of Man Boobs” would be useful or objective.

Guess what? It WAS:

VideoJug: How To Get Rid Of Man Boobs

Their tips were thorough:

• Causes: Man boobs are caused by excess body fat or hormonal imbalances.
• Aerobic Exercise: Burn off excess body fat with aerobic exercise.
• Anaerobic Exercise: Build up muscle with weight training.
• Diet: You have to eat healthy food to burn off excess body fat.
• Tips on staying motivated

These tips are the same whether you’re trying to get rid of man boobs, saddlebags, beer bellies or thunder thighs. The only way to tone a part of your body is a three-fold approach of healthy diet, aerobic exercise and weight training. Anyone who tells you any different is selling snake oil.

VideoJug also has a ton of other videos. I’ve included a video showing weight training for the chest area after the break:

VideoJug: How To Exercise Your Chest Without Using Weights

These are great exercises for building your upper body strength without spending any money on weights or gym memberships. The only problem is they are a little intense for a beginner. If you are unable to perform more than one or two of these exercises, try doing them on a wall instead of the floor. Use the exact same positioning, just lean against the wall. Do that for a few weeks to build up to the point of being able to do them on the floor.

Toning your body is like a project that takes time and attention every day. You can change the way your body looks if you have the patience and determination to stick with it.
