WELLNESS WEDNESDAY: Do you know what body type category you fall into? Whether male or female, knowing your body type can help you find the nutrition and training programs to better suit your needs. There are many things in life that make humans unique from one another. These differences are the results of our genetic makeup. One interesting subject in the area of genetics is our body type. Most people have a genetic predisposition toward one specific body type and supportive traits from a second kind. In the 1940s scientists introduced the theory of body types. Their ideas described three basic human body types: the endomorph, characterized by an excess of body fat; the mesomorph, marked by a well-developed musculature; and the ectomorph, distinguished by a lack of either much fat or muscle tissue. These scientists also state that most people were a mixture of these. These three different body types can be used to predict how your body will react to certain portions of macronutrients, thus enabling you and/or your Trainer to better determine correct diets and exercise regimens for optimal results. For more detailed info on these 3 body types and how best to diet and exercise once youve determined your type, stop by the front office and ask for Trainer Daryls comprehensive report on body types.
