Know your body type before you begin a workout program.

Their are 3 basic body types most people are categorized as. They are: ectomorph, mesomorph and endomorph. Remember ectomorphs are thinner and leaner individuals that have a more difficult time gaining weight. They will need to eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, and eat a lot to put on lean muscle mass. Make sure that the muscles are fed at least 3500- 5000 calories on a continuous (daily) basis. Mesomorphs are the individuals that have muscular frames and are coined "naturally gifted" in the fitness realm. An individual classified as this will appear to have been working out their entire lives but never touched a single weight. They do not have to work very hard to achieve muscle development nor definition but they do need to eat properly to prevent diseases and health risks. Lastly, endomorphs are people who are heavier in weight and possess a large amount of adipose tissue. They are usually overweight and round in the midsection. Also, they will need to lower their caloric intake and spend a lot more time on cardiovascular workouts!!!      


Remember to research your physique so that you all will be aware of what exercises fit you as individuals. And as always, post any questions you may have... I dont know it all but what I do know, you know!


Peace
