 It makes you feel uncomfortable, conscious, and embarrassed in public. It’s not something that a man would want to have but unfortunately a number of men are facing this problem. We are talking about a problem wherein, instead of a lean and solid chest, few men develop loose and hanging piece of fat around their chests, which looks like breasts. Here are some quick fixes for these problems recommended by medical experts.
Interval Training
Interval training involves 30 seconds to one minute of tough exercise, followed by two to three minutes of easy exercise. Interval training is a very common and highly effective way of burning fat.
Push Ups
Push ups is a superb way to build your upper chest area. This won’t entirely get rid of your man boobs, but yes, it will make them less noticeable.

 Weight training is a crucial part of any workout program. Achieving goals will become easier if you have a strong weight training program.
The beginning of a weight training program should be lighter. To start with, lift a weight that is difficult to lift, but can be lifted with some efforts. Over time, when it becomes easier to lift the weight, add more. During the weight training program, be sure that you are doing the right exercises correctly. Perform the exercises safely. This way, you won’t risk injury at the same time, build up slowly and steadily.
Safety is very important since maximum safety will minimize the risk of injury. In the weight training program, you will have to do squats and dead lifts. Do these exercises with utmost care because, such exercises may put a strain on your lower back. Hence, it is recommended to wear weight belts and provide sufficient support to your lower back and keep your spine aligned while doing these exercises.
Weight training demands increased physical performance. In the weight training program, the muscles of perform as the engine or powerhouse of your body. The body burns fat for energy to lift those weights. This in turn gains muscle tone. Weight training program also prevents muscle loss. The resistance which you get during weight training program develops your muscles in new ways.

 Do you feel that your abs routine is becoming monotonous? Do you feel that it is not working well anymore? Want a change from the boring routine? If yes then make your exercise routine fresh again! Here are a few tips to spice up your workout routines.
Bring in instability to your exercises:
By instability, we mean that you should at times do your exercise on unstable ground. Try this- lift your leg up in the air so that your body becomes unstable. This is a very simple step but is very powerful! It increases the difficulty of the exercise causing you to sweat excessively, like never before! Try this out and feel the difference!
Increase the intensity:
Make the exercise more challenging. Include advance training techniques like supersets. Take no breaks! Yes, it works! Do a set of exercise and immediately switch over to another set of exercises without any rest in between! This crazy method will indeed give you crazy results!
Stay away from traditional methods of training:
This may sound awkward but it will surely spice up your exercise routine! Switch over to circuit training technique which includes a combination of cardio and weight training. It is a solid one-hour workout. Ideally, a circuit training session includes six intervals and each interval includes two exercises of two sets and the one 3 minute high intensity cardio training.
Spicing up the whole program optimizes the exercise results.
