How I Overcame My 50-Year Struggle With Gynecomastia

Before we get started, here's a little story from one of my clients, Sammie Fields.
Hey there I’m Sammie.

I’m in my 70s now and I’m finally enjoying my life as a masculine-looking guy. I struggled with gynecomastia ever since puberty. Back in the day it was totally unheard of for a man to have breasts.

Man boobs were quite a rare thing. If you think having man boobs is bad now, try having them in the 60s. I spent my entire life in fear that someone would notice my breasts. I stayed away from women - I was horrified of the bedroom. I also stayed away from the beach and only got out wearing the thickest of clothing to try and conceal myself.

Back then there was no internet, and no information out there to help me. I tried everything I could to try and get rid of my man boobs. I lost weight and tried different diets but all to no avail.

One day however, just a few years ago I came across a newspaper article.

This article complained of how male fish in our waters were becoming feminized. Scientists had studied these male fish and found how they had developed feminine characteristics, even to the point of producing eggs! Apparently this was due to the prevalence of the female hormone estrogen in our water supply.

Apparently, due to most government water filtration systems (including the US), estrogen passes unfiltered right into our taps, and straight into your belly when you drink that glass of water.

The estrogen is being absorbed by us and is resulting in modern man having low sperm counts, fertility problems and gynecomastia. Heck it might even be responsible for the boom in the male cosmetics industry (joke).

So I went out there, did some research and found some other shocking sources of estrogen that exist especially in the modern environment, but were also there in the past albeit in much lower quantities and not as widespread back in the day.

Why am I telling you all this?

Well I lost my man boobs in my mid-sixties. The only way I managed to succeed was after I armed myself with the facts, and all the information I needed to know about the very root cause of my gynecomastia.

If I could get rid of my gynecomastia in my sixties, then I know for a fact that anyone else can do it too. So if you're about to give up or you have given up and are ready to face the world as a pseudo-man, then I'm here to tell you to wake up! Get out of that trance, shake yourself up and inform yourself of real working tactics that have been proven time and time again to help many thousands of guys lose their man boobs permanently using all-natural methods.

And I can't think of a better person to help you than my good friend Robert Hull. I leave you to his very capable hands and I'm sure that you will learn much on his new blog.

The Fitness Workshop: Spinning

'Spinning? I had to give up after 15 minutes?, says one friend, while another regales me with stories of agony after her one (and only) experience on an indoor cycling bike. At this point I considered wimping out and claiming bad knees, but after looking on the website where spinning is described as a 'mind, body and soul workout? amid pictures of toned, glowing people, I was lured back in.

My beats-per-minute rate were so initially so high that Adam thought my monitor was probably broken; but once I managed to achieve the right level by controlling my pace and 'breathing freely?, it felt like a real achievement.

Gone is the guesswork, this is computerised fitness that means you are much more in touch with how your body is working as you exercise. You even get an automated email after class with a chart detailing your performance and your kcal consumption.

I managed to burn 179 of these in 45 minutes, but rates varied hugely across the class depending on weight, age and fitness levels. While the Aerobic Interval class focuses more on improving general toning and strength, Pedal Studio also runs a 'Strength? cardio class, which varies speed and resistance to work the lower body and build power in the legs, and an 'Endurance? class where you ride at low intensity, building up your base fitness.

The great benefit of spinning is that it suits all individual training requirements. Being able to adjust the speed, intensity and duration of your spin, no matter which class you take, means that you can work towards your own goals, whether they are fat burning or more serious fitness training.

Everyone motivates each other; when you feel yourself tiring there is nothing more encouraging than the energy of other riders to spur you on. Although admittedly I started with one of the more gentle classes and was spared the next-day muscle ache, spinning turned out to be far more accessible than I had heard, which explains Pedal Studio?s popularity.

New riders are always welcome but must sign up on the website, www.pedalstudio.co.uk, in advance, giving height, weight and fitness details so that the instructors can personalise the Suunto systems before they arrive.

* Pedal studio is located at 4 Token Yard, Greater London SW15 1SR.
