Different Types of Bodies and Workouts

Hey again!
Throughout this post, my opinion will be mentioned about the different types of bodies and workout schedules, and the simple 15-35 minutes workouts. Firstly, there are some for each muscle in the body. Here are some examples of some for the abs, glute and legs.


                

As you can see they are simple and very easy to follow. I personally enjoy doing them every once in a while, because it's fun and entertaining. There are some levels that could either be easy for beginners, normal for people who workout regularly, hard for experts, and extreme for athletes. I find these schedules are useful because they could be a way to keep you organized in your schedule. Some people have difficulty in either keeping track of their schedules, or even doing a workout twice. You may sometimes forget what you were planning on doing, so if you organize yourself a nice schedule, and there will be no problem. Also, there are different types of bodies. The 3 main types are, ectomorph (very thin and hard to gain weight, fast metabolism) which is me, endomorph (basically the opposite of ectomorph, large and round), and mesomorph (best type, easy gain of muscles, similar to ectomorph with their metabolism).

Adding on, do not forget that you can change your body type, you are never stuck in a particular type. Personally, I find this helpful because when you know what type you are simply by taking a look in the mirror, you will know what you need to improve upon. You will realize that you either need a new meal plan, or to do more cardio, or even simply focus on building muscles depending on your body type. It all starts by getting motivated.

Here is an example of an ectomorph, and his transtition to becaming a mesomorph:

Here is an example of a endomorph, becoming a mesomorph:

Finally, there goes an example of the perfectly shaped body, a mesomorph:

These people have worked hard to get to that body. They are all different at the start, but they pushed through, and the work payed off. I hope this post was useful to most of you, and that you guys are liking my posts so far!

The Essential Nutriments

Hello!
A couple of you have already wondered if I will be mentioning the nutriments needed, and how they are helpful, as well as certain healthy meals, well here it is! This post is particularly for this subject and hopefully all your questions, from the comments, will be answered. To begin, the main drinks people tend to use, are gatorade, protein shakes, water, and perhaps chocolate milk. Well, some people say gatorade is unhealthy due for the amount of sugar it contains, but it is VERY energetic. It was also rated the world's #1 sports drink! I personally love the taste of all the flavours, and definitely the effect of it has on me. There are many flavours, such as rain berry, lemonade, cool blue, fruit punch, citrus cooler, etc... Although, the type of drink you put to use, depends on the number of hours you commit to at the gym. Example, if you were to spend 1-2 hours (average), water is sufficient for your type of body. Supposing to if you are more the intense type, and spend 3 or more hours, you will necessitate the drinks which contain more sodium and calcium, example: chocolate milk. Also, for the intense category, protein shakes play an important role.

                                    

Moving on to some healthy snacks after a workout who could be put to good use:

1) The combination of hummus and pita bread: Hummus providing carbohydrates and protein.
2) Yogurt with a fruit of choice: Yogurt helps build muscle, recommended after a workout so that your muscles are stretched out, which will make it easily done.
3) Protein bars/granola bars (the ones with less layers of chocolate): They help with weight loss and obviously provide protein.

                       

I absolutely love these three snacks, reason being because they all have a great taste, and I enjoy eating them. Hummus is also a good snack, not simply for people who train their bodies, but also as a daily meal. I hope that this post was able to answer questions, stay tuned!
