Excercise and Man Boobs

This is not generally true. Breast tissue is different than fatty tissue. So, there is no amount of exercise that will get rid of true gynaecomastia. There is a condition called pseudogynecomastia or false gynaecomastia or false man boobs and that happens when people are very overweight and they have an excessive amount of fat in the breast area. Loosing weight then will get rid of this excess fatty tissue. I also have to add that what has gone is the component of the breast volume or size that is made up of fat tissue. The real breast tissue still remains. So any excess will still be present and for some patients become more apparent.
