Those exercises will help you with cardio and overall fitness, which is always a good thing for our bodies.  With you not being overweight and having the "manboobs" you describe, I am more concerned that you may have gynecomastia.  That condition needs to be diagnosed and managed by a knowledgeable physician.  

In the short-term, you can do some strength and toning chest exercises.  Here's a link from our local gym that will show you a few exercises.   http://www.aspenathletic.com/pages/pt.html#
There is a feature called exercise of the month that is in the middle of their personal trainer page.  It provides 2-3 exercises each month that you can do (all of 2008 is shown) ... watch for the ones for the chest and target that area.  Do them and see if it helps.  If not, contact a physician.  Gynecomastia is usually not physically harmful but does need to be diagnosed to rule out any potential underlying causes for it.

Keep smiling kiddo ... :]  Huggsss .. Ranae

what do u mean back boobs lol ???

[mirabella45]

You think man boobs are bad..what about small boobs on your back from loosing weight. Thank goodness they arent as big as the ones in the front.

Are you on any medications?  Sometimes there are medications that can lead to this or make it worse.  

There is a condition called gynecomastia that basically is mboobs but there are some medical reasons this can occur.  Have you seen a doctor?  Weight loss can alter the condition in cases where it is triggered by obesity, but losing weight will not reduce the glandular component.  

Let us know how you are doing .. k?

Wow....you have brains! There was a girl on here some time ago...she was from Pakistan....i wonder if you knew her? She was also in college for Electrical Engineering...how weird is that? She put many of her friends pix. on here! I remember commenting on them.....a nice looking group of young people!

Hey,start hanging out with your guy friends! Guys attract girls!! Forget about those boobs(I hate saying that word)....girls don't care....the nice decent ones don't! Some girls like brains....:)      

[noji]

well actually i do have guy frinds hehe at the university im doing my 3rd semester in elecrtical engineering :) .also manboobs e the causes hehe

[jeh57]

Okay,i see...you weigh about 170 lbs.....that is a nice size for 5' 7"..........You need to turn those lbs. into muscle!......I am sure you have guy friends...right? If not....find some...to have friends,you have to be a friend!! Do you work? College? Where do you live? Get out there and meet people!

I really as sorry you have such low self esteem.....does some of it come from the boobies? :)......or have you always been like this? I do know it is hard in our society...you want to fit in..and you feel like you don't?! Give it time..you will have a girlfriend....but you have to get out there...make yourself available......Don't let this issue of the Mboobs stop you!!

[noji]

i am 5 foot 7 inches :P hehe and i weigh 78 kg but still my i have bigggggg man boobs lol :P and yeah my self esteemm is very lowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww :( lol. no i dnt have gf .lol i never had any :(

[jeh57]

See..........you just answered your own question!!! Get out of that house and start jogging again................you will fill better and at the same time you will be building muscle!

Try not to concentrate on the boobs! Do you have a girlfriend? How is your self-esteem? I guess what i am trying to get across to you is......love yourself for who you are...God made you that way! I bet you are a handsome young guy......also you are still maturing and growing! Trust me on this.......i know some guys i went to school with that were totally dorks....they are hunks now!! At 20...................you have plenty of time!!!

Get you a tight fitting shirt....to wear under your outer shirt!!! This will help.....May i ask how tall you are and your weight?? Just curious!   Take care.....Janice

[noji]

yeah they r noticeable to frinds, it s like i start doing jogging somrtime do it for month then leave it for 2 months.lazy i know.. but the man boobs r noticeable to others :(

[jeh57]

Well....let me see here.....How about you start by doing the push-ups? They will help,but you have to be motivated to do them!! Get down on the floor and do them!!

Back to the chest area....how big are we talking about? Are they noticeable to friends...or just to you? This could be something that only you see! I am not making light of your situation....but i know how vanity can play a part.

So,you sit home all day....never done sports......could you be alittle out of shape? I think you need to get up and be more active....start running...that will help tone you up where you need to be toned! Okay,cardio is exercise that burns fat and at the same time is excellent for the heart!!!

I hope this helps you some........do the push-ups and start an exercise program! I didn't ask about you healthwise? You may benefit from a physical by your Dr....just a thought.

Take care......get active!   Janice

[noji]

no i never did sports in ma entire life !!!!i sit home all day :(.and also what is cardio exercise??? thanku for the answers ;)

[jeh57]

Okay...........Having mboobs is usually caused by hormone imbalances------------considering you are 20,you are still maturing, and hopefully as you grow and fill out,your chest area will become for formed and muscular.

You need to start doing body fat exercises.....to firm and tone your whole body,and in turn you will be helping the chest area.

Yes...push ups are excellent...they tone up the chest.....as to how many,i would say start out doing as many as you can....but don't wear yourself out! Maybe start with 25 or so...work up to 50....then 75....and finally get to 100.....you will have to be the judge of that!! The more you can do the better.......just don't get so focused on push-ups!

Running is also an excellent fat burner.....good cardio,too.

Do you play sports?? Football?? This is something that will help also!! The more active you are...you better!

I know it's hard...try not to concentrate on the mboobs...............just enjoy your life and and as you mature...your chest will become more defined...filled out,not just the boob area! Best of luck.....................Janice

[noji]

yeah im not over weight .what i want to know is what upper body exercise i should do please tell me about those. i mean push ups /?? i fyeah how many
plzzzzzzzz helpppp me :(

[jeh57]

Hi there.............................First of all......are your man boobs because of extra weight you are carrying around?? If so....get yourself on a good food plan and do some upper body exercises to tone up the chest area.......Boobs are just fatty tissue,the more toned you are....the better you will look and feel.

If you are not over weight...just have boobs...a few things i would do .....still continue the upper body exercises,remember toned looks better,wear a tight fitting shirt under your shirt.....these are just some suggestions.....that way they won't be as noticeable.

If you are still not content.....there is always surgery,but that would be going to the extreme.      Janice
