John Mayer has just one New Year’s Resolution, and it involves breasts — his own. Find out why the hunky entertainer is singing the blues about ‘man boobs’.
John Mayer plans to hit the gym more this year, according to his last Twitter before a self-imposed 2010 digital blackout. A post on his Twitter page read, “I need to get back into the gym. I’m all for having boobs against my chest but not when they’re mine.”
“Moobies” or “man boobs” are a common symptom of male weight gain. The pectoral area is just one place for the body to store fat, and just like with love handles or beer belly, you can’t determine where exactly your body will store fat. Some men also suffer from a condition called gynecomastia, where the body actually produces breast tissue that requires an operation to remove.
Mayer doesn’t have much a problem with either issue; his “moobie” fear likely has more to do with his ego than his genetics. But if he does hit the gym, he’ll benefit more from cardio than anything else. Man boobs can only be cured by whole-body weight loss. Spot-reduction of fat, such as ridding yourself of a gut through sit-ups, is a weight-loss myth.
Mayer’s own boobs may be the only ones he gets a look at for some time; rumor has it he’s taking a break from dating after the media backlash over his on-again-off-again fling with Jennifer Aniston. But will that resolution last? He recently told the New York Times he thought the negative attention was misplaced.
“I should be having sex with more girls,” Mayer said. “It’s crazy to me that in my head, that being 32 and dating women is going to get me in trouble.”
