Q: Hey Mike Well my question for you is I'm a skinny guy I weigh about 150lbs and I'm 6'1' and I have man boobs I dont need to lose weight! but I would love to get in shape If you have any ideas let me Know Thank you

A: You definitely should not be trying to lose weight! At your height and weight you can't possibly have significant 'man boobs'. A bit of fat deposit behind the nipples in the chest area is perfectly normal and you should not fret over it. If you are a teenager, then chances are good the appearance of these 'man boobs' will diminish as your body matures.

As far as getting in shape, that depends on what it is exactly you want to accomplish. You obviously don't want to lose weight, but do you want to gain weight and muscle? If you do, then you should start by reading my nutrition and weight training articles to learn how to eat and how to work out to build muscle. You can then use my fitness guide to get yourself a starter muscle-building diet with instructions how to customize it for yourself. If you are diligent in having a good diet and weight training then you will not only build muscles but also diminish the appearance of your 'man boobs'.

On the other hand you may not want to build muscle, but just get stronger. In that case you still want to read my weight training article and pick from the weight training programs in it.

Or you may not care about weight training at all but just want to have good cardio and be active. In that case, simply start running or swimming or biking or whatever you like best, play sports with friends or in school.

So it's up to you to decide what kind of 'good shape' you want to achieve exactly. Good luck!
