Get rid of man boobs?!
Question: I am 16 years old. I weigh 125 and is 5 feet 5 inches. I am not fat. I am run a lot and exercise a lot, but I still have man boobs. They are not that large, but I do not like them. My doctor said it is caused by estrogen that was over developed during puberty and it will go away as I get older. But it hasn't shown much difference after 6 months. What should I do?

you going through puberty right now and it might go away all by it self .but you may have gynecomastia or man boobs go to www.gynecomastia.org and check out their web site they have all kinds of information there along with pictures if men and young men who have this condition also they have doctors there so you can ask them questions.
Start getting worried. Its quite possible they will never go away...mine never did...
Chest exercises will go a LONG way towards reducing or eliminating them all together. Your weight is about right for your height, so dieting will only help to a small degree. To really get rid of your moobs, you need muscle mass! Bench press will help, but cable crossovers are even better to target specific areas of the pectoral majors. If you are a kind of soft individual, you need to work on everything, and build a bit of size, then tone to get definition. No more moobs!
try do more chest oriented excersises. like bench presseing and push ups are great ones that will help get rid of them and help build muscle instead. are you eating right though?
Push ups or wall push ups (can be done in the shower or anywhere) can really help strengthen your chest muscles so there isn't so much sag, also look to foods that helps premote the testosteron levels and counter act the estrogen.
theres not much you can do, other than just wait. i have somewhat large man boobs, and i wouldnt consider myself fat. i guess we've just gotta wait it out.
