You see them everywhere in advertising. Muscled, buffed,
smooth hard bodies are promoting everything thing from
cars, tools and even beer. Obviously, the marketing behind
this muscle building practice works but that is not the
point behind this article.
We are bombarded by the advertisements, visuals and
suggestions that our lives will be forever changed if we
only had that body. Build bigger muscles in 10 minutes a
day and you too will look like the model. This is what is
suggested. What most advertisements, self help books and
weight loss systems fail to tell you is not everyone's body
is the same!
Trying to grasp and capture the variation in human physical
properties and appearance is also known as anthropometry or
the measuring of the human being. Utilizing these bodily
dimensions and then customizing products around it, is
quite a common practice in fields like ergonomics, clothing
design, even architecture.
This practice is not so much so in the field of fitness,
health and wellness, weight loss and management, and
overall optimal functioning type considerations, products
and services. We have somehow overlooked, underestimated or
not considered it seriously enough it seems. It can in fact
hold and harbor some real secrets, cues and clues as to
what to expect when we use the one to better understand and
maximize the other. Quite the thought! How revolutionary
is that?
A much better way to analyze our bodies is using body mass
index calculations (BMI) and individual assessments
directed by experts that understand your body type.
Skinny muscle people are also known as being ectomorph
types. The characteristics are as follows:
- Hard time building any muscle
- Shoulders and hips are the same size (with little
variation)
- Slim
- Smallish build
- Tendency to 'over-train' somewhat
- Thin
- Weight fluctuates a lot and significantly
Sound familiar? The common mistake many people make in
trying to build muscles and get the buffed body is not
understanding their body type will make a big difference in
the results.
Some initial exercise suggestions for this body type or
shape: - Heavy weight workouts
- All muscle groups need work (regularly and frequently)
- Cardio
- 2-3 exercises per body part
- 3-4 sets with 6-10 repetitions
Results: strength and muscle added top priorities and
outcomes, with persistence and disciplined work
Recommended work could include: - Core Training
- Kickboxing Class
- Martial Arts
- Tae-Bo
- Treadmill
- Walking
- Work on buttock and thigh area
What to eat and how to adjust your diet somewhat to
accommodate and support some of the work that you are doing
on the exercise front to let the shape come to its full
potential:
DO NOT: - EAT or consume lots of empty calories
convenience, junk, fried or fast food
- Have trans-fats in your diet
- Skip any of your meals
DO:
- Eat lots of protein and carbohydrates(grains, granola,
nuts, dried fruits)
- Fats and healthy oils (as much as 30% of total intake
calories)
It follows that many feel that your body type, shape and
physical characteristics and feature can oftentimes greatly
affect the nature, intensity, type and duration, frequency
and effectiveness of your exercise routines, workouts and
regimen overall.
Body shape or type are just parts of the large puzzle in
question here for either fitness training, weight loss and
management and overall toning, sculpting and functioning.
You will achieve superior results when the program you use
matches your body type. Thin, ectomorph bodies respond
very well to specific muscle building practices to produce
killer muscles. Go forth, learn, lift and live the life
you were given. Blessings!
