Hi, I am a 21 year old male weighing in at 195 lbs. I am 5'8'' and am a little over weight. I know this seems like a stupid question but how can I get rid of man boobs. They are not huge or anything but I would like to get rid of them. Is there any particular workout that can correct this? I also have some fat on my sides and back as well as stomach. Should I be eating a certain amount of calories per day or what?

firstly you are going to need to loose some fat, to work out the calorie intake to loose weight first work out what your resting metabolic rate is, you need to eat less calories than this number and do some exercize, you can't spot reduce the fat but you can build muscle which will help with loosing more fat and make you look better.

to tighten your man boobs and replace with muscle you are going to need to work your pec muscles (Pectoralis Major (Sternal Head)) here is a good list of exercizes to work that area http://www.exrx.net/Lists/ExList/Che...l#anchor165455 but compound exercizes with free weights are generally better and work more muscles.

i am sure some of the other here will have more great sugestions and give you all lots of support in your fat loss goals.

Wow, Tru! How would you feel about coming to Texas and being my personal coach? Oh wait, I guess you probably wouldn't be interested in 50 cents an hour for pay huh???? Oh well, sounds like great advice and I saw some excercises there that I think will help me too!

trusy has given you great advice!

also, pushups are a good beginner's exercise for the chest muscles. if you are weak in this exercise, try it with your knees on the floor. keep your back straight and your hands shoulder width apart. try 2 sets of as many repetitions as you can do. after you build up strength, extend your legs straight back behind you when you do them.
