Just keep exercising as often as you can, a quick bodyweight workout before bed or first thing in the morning can make a difference, even if just 10 minutes.

Hi Dinesh, reduce the amount of bread and rice you are eating and eat more fresh fruits, vegetables and lean proteins. You need to do more than 10-12 minutes of exercise each day, build up to at least 30 minutes. You may benefit also from a 2 or 3 day split routine in the gym rather than just doing one body part each day. See Weight Training Push & Pull Split Routine and 3 Day Split workout.

You could also take up running, cycling or other types of exercise to get fitter. Ranch dressing can be pretty high in calories and saturated fat, so a daily helping may not be a good thing.

I’m 12 and I have recently developed man boobs and since it never happened to my brother while going through puberty, I have to face ridicule from my family about being slightly overweight. I have a belly that’s not very big, as in when I wear a shirt, people wouldn’t be able to tell that I have man boobs or a big belly and I have some developing man boobs. My best friend was in the same boat as me, except his didn’t start during the beginning of puberty like me, it started in his late childhood (around 9-10 years old). We started working out today using some of the routines listed above.

I need help trying to improve my body because I’m tired of being ridiculed for having man boobs while my older brother has the perfect 6 pack and the perfect biceps, etc. I don’t normally eat breakfast, and for lunch at school, I eat a chicken cesear wrap with ranch dressing like every day. For dinner, my family commonly eats either chicken, red meat or white meat. About once every week we have spaghetti or some sort of pasta. There’s not much I could do about my dinner situation besides just skipping the meal which I don’t want to do. I feel like I have gained weight because I’m never full and constantly hungry to eat more food.

Starting today, every night we’re going to *try* to do 158 excersizes total – 56 squats, 16 lunges, 32 push-ups, 38 crunches and 16 squat thrusts. What else should we include in our schedule? I know my body is still changing but I hate this man boobs because no one else has them and I’m used to being able to eat whatever I want without any changes to my body.

You may be gaining weight for 3 reasons:
1. You are growing fast at the moment, at 13 you would expect to be gaining weight all the time.
2. You have gained some muscles.
3. You are eating too much food.

Take a close look at your diet to check that you are eating healthily and not overeating. It may also help to keep a measure of height and some muscle measurements, such as circumference of thigh, bicep, chest – all of which should start to increase as you exercise.

However, your main focus really should be on getting fitter. 3 weeks is just the beginning, stick to the plan and set some goals.

I really doubt your friend lost 7-10 kg in a week just by walking – only if very overweight then that would be possible to manage. To get better at press ups just practice them – do them on your knees to build up endurance then more full ones to build strength. And you have to manage your eating and activity better, plan your meals and plan your activity.

Hi Khaled, it sounds like you made some good progress. I do not like the sound of the 27 dates diet, not a balanced diet. You do need healthy fats and proteins and dates alone is not going to provide this. Curling 15-18 kg is good, so well done. Just goes to show that with some determination you can trim fat and build muscle. Junk food is probably your biggest problem at the moment and you just have to be strict with yourself. Avoid places that sell junk food and always ensure that there is some healthy food close at hand. Well done, just increase exercise as you get fitter and keep looking at ways to reduce junk and processed food.

Hey it’s me again I’d love to say thanks for helping me out and everything. I still have my man boobs and belly I mainly think it’s loose skin but here’s the story again. After my weight loss 160 KG to 80KG then started strength training as u told me so and gained 2 kilo of muscle. Then I kinda stopped working out gained 4 kilo of fat ;p 86KG. Been eating alot of sweets, don’t know whats happening to me. I can do a biceps curl using about 15-18KG Dumbbells is that good? I wasnt able to do 5KG XD XD reached doing 16 push ups in a row. I did strength training, my squats reached 80KG total weight then I had to stop due to school-work. I don’t know how to fix my eating since I cant do the count calorie thing nor can I do it in the family-friends don’t know what is a hell a calorie we just have a if u eat alot u need to work alot XD
I saw this current thing that helps u lose weight, kinda works about eating 27 dates throughout the day and on each mean which is 3 meals, you drink yogurt or milk with it what do u think ?
the date thing was used to in the old days to get energy to do work when there was no food ;P

We do say that surgery is needed and that exercise can be a solution. Exercise should be the first approach as often there is just a tendency for some males to accumulate more fatty tissue than average, and this can be reduced with a healthier lifestyle. Also it often affects boys in puberty and then subsides once the changing hormone levels have subsided, so again surgery is not required and should not be really encouraged until you are sure the problem persists after puberty. Some health professional may suggest hormonal treatment before surgery too. It is a difficult issue though and for many immediate action is wanted. Another benefit of exercise is that it actually raises testosterone levels which can help to address the balance between testosterone and estrogen. We are not saying that exercise is the solution for everyone, but it should certainly been a first port of call.

This is BS! Gynecomastia cannot be cured via exercise. I started growing man boobs (gynecomastia) when I was in the 2nd grade! I spent all my elementary and middle school years wearing a jacket to hide them so that other kids wouldn’t tease. I got a breast reduction the summer before I entered high school. I get angry when I see so many people treating this topic as a joke or when they respond with diet and exercise is the cure. REAL gynecomastia is when a man has glandular tissue which cannot be cured by diet or exercise— the only option is surgery. Have empathy because this condition really kills a kids self-esteem.

Hi Ben, take a look at our fitness section, there are several circuit training / callisthenic workouts that you can do at home. Swap your sandwich for a healthier option, such as wholemeal bread with egg or chicken and salad. Also get more cardio – go running as well as doing bodyweight workouts.

Hi Ersh, you need to start with walking and build it up from there. Take a look at our walking plan first. Set yourself a daily routine (say 45 minutes of structured walking every day) and build from there. To lose weight you just need to consistently burn more calories than you eat. If you treadmill can incline (slope) then use that function and walk uphill too – this burns a lot more calories and will help you to get fitter faster.

Hi Andrew, sounds good. You are getting fitter and stronger, well done. Remember that any workout plan is only a guide, if you change parts to suit you then that shows that you are in control and are focusing on what is needed to get the results that you need – so well done.

Just need to lose a bit of stomach fat and got slight man boobs. I eat a white bread ham sandwich at 11am, which is kind of a breakfast / lunch meal, and a cooked dinner, changes daily. I only want to lose my stomach fat and man boobs so I only do 100 sit-ups a day, but I want to lose it quickly so could u give me some advice for quick fat loss, and exercises / work-outs I can do at home.

I am 5ft 10in and weigh 10 stone + 14 years, have slight stomach fat and small man boobs, is that ok for my age?
