Muscular Body Types,What works for ONE does NOT work for all!

Has being a string bean never been your forte naturally without rigorous exercise,dieting?

 You can add in all the cardio sessions,diets and resistance training but your body probably tends to reach a point thats hard to push past. More of a muscular frame, do you tend to have curvier thighs and glutes?

Yes, this all sounds too familiar to me, you are a mesomorph! :)

Just learn to embrace what your momma gave you!

 Truth be told,many other body types wish to have ours! Just as we wish to have theirs, and the cycle continues!

Marisa Miller,Very Tone maintains her curves & muscle's

Jessica Biel-Skinny,Fit,Muscular!Perfect Balance



Jennifer Aniston-Most clear example of Meso's!

 We are the Jessica Biel's,Marisa Miller's,Jennifer Aniston's, skinny yes but more athletic!

 Not like Taylor Swift or size 0 Mary-kate Olsen. Our genetic makeup is just different,we tend to have larger muscle's in our genetic makeup.. bulking up easier, and faster! So if this is not your goal, resistance training will be your best friend. Cardio only 2-3 times a week to not bulk either short high resistance or plug in your fav show and walk on the tredmill for an hour+ and just tons of pilates/yoga type moves, my favorite trainer is Tracy Anderson! Her dvd's and video webisodes on youtube have never steered me wrong! She works your muscle's by leaning you out with your own body as your resistance. Tracy has never done me wrong, my only error is by straying away from her method and trying out other techniques which have always caused me to bulk.

Other body charateristics:

• Naturally lean/muscular/strong
• Small-Med sized bones/joints
• You respond quickly to exercise; gaining muscle quickly
• You gain just as quick as you loose weight wise
• In some broad shoulders:upper body larder than lower or hourglass shape
• Muscular thighs/legs

This was me with alot of Tracy Anderson,Barre 3 Resistance training
and mindful diet, no cardio to not bulk!At about 107 this is the leanest my
body will achieve healthy!

 This body type can be lean. 80% of this outcome will be based on your diet and consistancy.


You will need to focus on easily digestable proteins,vegetables,fruits. For every body type this will be different. You know which foods make you feel bloated? Save those for night time!Some foods are digested more rapidly unlike some take our bodies alot more effort to digest! We all digest things diffently depending on your own body's pH scale. I know for me the more alkaline I tend to eat...the easier I digest and never feel bloated! I can eat all the fish, spinach, grapefruit, celery, eggs, I want and be so full and not look full at all! However if I have some chicken,broccolli,beets,even some salad dressings(due to sodium/starch content NOT calories) ..something more starchy and harder to digest, I notice an instant pooch! So its just good to know what works for you,so you can feel good all the time. Remember,different foods work differently for everybody too! :)

One very important underlying Rule of Thumb too! Results don't lie! And some are instant yes! Don't waste your time, "hanging in there" If you eat something and the next day weigh more, figure out what it is..cut it out,its not working for your body type.  But it worked for your friend,icon!Great..but its not working for you!

Same with workouts,yes muscle weighs more than fat,but you also do not want to constantly gain & gain muscle=lbs.,or your clothes will start to not fit all the same! So if you are working out and can notice that your body is looking larger,arms,&thighs are always a big indicator,if they have swollen, being a mesomorphic body type..we have larger muscle's so they swell and expand easier! So switch up your workout!I know everybody says cardio cardio,high intensity or low..but this has always made me bulk in the past!It does make you feel amazing but you are going to maintain more muscle, so if that is your goal then great,but if not,be aware of your decisions! Different things work for different people, thus the different body types! If anything just move everyday for 30-40mins its amazing what 10mins of arms,abs,legs will do for you daily at the end of the week! Or if you are sore, stretch!Put your fav playlist on and stretch for 20mins to elongate all your hard work and it'll help lean out those muscle's as well!

 Set realistic goals, be consistant and enjoy enhancing your body, not fighting it!
