Need To Lose Chest Fat?

Hello, I’m Bruce Barker- a Fitness Trainer with a special interest in helping men who are overweight, and inevitably they need to be shown how to burn chest fat. Obviously, both I and the client need to know exactly what his medical issues are before I can start him on an exercise or dietary regime.

 

On inspecting my client I need to know which problem he has, the condition known as gynecomastia or is his condition one that looks very much like it and is called? My experience will usually tell me which one but I need the client’s physician’s diagnosis prior to my programming.

 

Did you know that the three words come from the Greek language?

 

• ‘gyne’ means ‘woman”

• ‘mastos’ means ‘breast’

• ‘pseudo’ means ‘false’

 

Where the client shows a surplus of glandular tissue, possibly accompanied by fatty tissue but not necessarily, the condition from which he is suffering is gynecomastia. If his excess flesh is simply adipose or fatty then he has pseudogynecomastia which you can see from the above means false gynecomastia. It goes without saying that the client will be definitely overweight or even obese.

 

Whatever the doctor’s verdict and any prescribed medical treatment, it is going to be absolutely mandatory that the client undertakes dietary and lifestyle changes together with an exercise program. It goes without saying that my assumption is that my client does not wish to undertake surgery or liposuction, which will require a lot of money. What is expensive? Anything up to 00, I believe, and it is almost definite that the client’s Insurance company won’t meet the cost because they say that such treatment is purely the client’s choice and is, after all, cosmetic.

 

The next question is, what type of exercise regime do Iprescribe, as his Fitness Instructor, in order for him to reach his goal to lose chest fat. The exercise program must incorporate not just aerobic but also resistance work. Resistance exercises are essential because they build up muscle to replace the fat lost and give a more sculpted and shaped chest. Over and above this, more calories will be consumed because muscle is not inert tissue, like fat, but made up of live fibers which will consume more calories.

 

If the client is to get results then he must commit to a minimum of 3 visits to the gym in a week and my client’s program will have to incorporate at least 1/2 an hour of hard CV work, usually on three separate pieces of equipment, and the client will be expected to raise his pulse rate to between 70 to 85 % of his maximum.

 

How do we work out an individual’s maximum heart rate? The starting point is 220 beats per minute, this being the average MHR for a baby and also for the first few years of the infant’s life. Subsequently the MHR will go down by one beat or so yearly. It follows, doesn’t it, that if you deduct the individual’s age from 220 you will arrive at his MHR. It follows that if the individual is a man of 50 then his MHR will be 220 less 50 which is 170 and 70 to 85% of this figure gives you the range of 119 to 145 beats per minute which is where he needs to be while doing his cardio-vascular exercise . As he gets fitter he should be able to work out at up to 90% of his MHR or 153 beats per minute.

 

Accompanying the CV I would include a number of general resistance exercises to include the major muscle groups, not just the chest . It is necessary to do this so that we can strengthen the man’s body and improve his posture before stepping up the program. Then, 4 to 6 weeks after this we will have a re-appraisal and, if he has made progress, his next program will be stepped up to an alternating ‘two day split’ something like this:

• CV/Upper Body/Abdominals

• CV/Lower Body/Abdominals

 

Subsequently the program might well evolve even more to target specific areas such as the chest. Hard work and dedication from the client may see him moving to a ‘4 day split’ like this:

 

• CV/Chest/Abdominals

• CV/Back/Abdominals

• CV/Shoulders+Arms/Abdominals

• CV/Legs/Abdominals

 

There are many variations of workouts and each individual wanting to explore how to lose chest fat is unique.

 

Although this article is mainly about gym-oriented exercise, I do realise that a lot of guys do not like gyms, can’t afford gyms or can’t get to a gym. What is not an option is doing nothing…everyone must undergo some kind of regular and intensive exercise. They will also need some other form of help.

 

For the past two years now I have been investigating other methods which will help a guy change his mostly fat breasts into a more masculine chest. As a consequence of this research I have been drawing individuals’ notice to the fact that there are some quality safe, natural approaches with lots of happy users willing to endorse them.

 

You wil also find a wealth of information on the website about the two conditions.
