Approximately 1/3 of the male population suffers from gynecomastia. OR about 30-40% of the men in this world are suffering from gynecomastia or by having man boobs. Just like woman, men are plagued with insecurities regarding certain parts of their bodies that just don't seem to cut it. When men develop male breasts most men feel uncomfortable and embarrassed, so they start looking for exercises that can help get rid of them before anybody else notices.
Most men try to do spot reduction exercises. You can't get rid of male breasts or other problem areas by doing spot exercises. Attempts at localized fat loss are a waste of time and energy because muscle has no influence over how much fat surrounds it. You cannot lose fat in a specific part of the body simply by performing an exercise that works the muscles in that part of the body.
Male breasts can be caused by certain medications, diet or hormone imbalances. They are often seen in teenage boys because their hormones are so out of line while they're going through puberty. The other time it happens to men the male breasts are usually caused by simply having too much fat on their body. Some men collect extra fat on their stomachs, while some collect it on their chest. When fat collects on your chest, this gives the appearance of male breasts.
Steady State Cardio vs. Interval Training
Most cardio sucks at getting rid of chest fat. Steady state cardio or long bouts of cardiovascular activity via the treadmill, bike, or elliptical is not the best idea for losing fat in my opinion. Gymnasiums around the world full of people doing this kind of cardio. They hate it because it's predictable, tedious and time consuming. Yet because they see it as their quickest most effective route to fat loss they keep coming back for more.
