Exercise And Body Types

This book is written for anyone and everyone interested in their health, well-being, weight loss, management and fitness levels. For those of us who are not sure our current exercise regimen is working, some who are interested in learning more about their bodies, the human system, how physique can hold cues and clues as to what will work and what not, for that particular body type and build and customizing an exercise plan that actually works and addresses individual needs and specific areas, aspects and problems, this guide will take you from start to finish!

According to the online free encyclopedia at www.wikipedia.org, the term in use and under scrutiny here, namely body types, can be defined as having several meanings, common uses and mostly refers to

• A description of any kind of human body shape. This will include references and descriptions such as slim, fat, tall, petite, wide-shouldered, pear shaped and others

• It also goes back to an older classification system, dating back to the early 1940s. Here, humans were classified or sorted into three different body types. This is still today at times utilized, especially in and for modern weight training and exercise ; (also called ‘somato-type’).

With roots so firmly planted in psychology and fitness sciences, there is much more to this seemingly correlated items in question BODY TYPE and EXERCISE. It seems like a logical inference that the one will have something to do with the other. The physcial properties, dynamics and system and its functioning, optimal peak performance and movement particularly will have to be related somehow. This bond and commonality, we will be taking under closer surveilance and investigation during the course of these musings and discussion.

The founder or pioneer behind this classification system (William Sheldon), started associating body types and temperament, personality types and more with each other, looking for commonalities and bonds that brought them closer togeterh. This idea is, have and will still really be catching on in recent years and the near future, as more and more practitoners, consumers, fitness trainers, and other experts (even lay-people) discover that there is not really any ONE-EXERCISE-PROGRAM-FITS-ALL type of solutions for everybody. We are moving more and more away from this approach and closer to custom-type exercise routines that have something to do and say with regards to different body shapes or ‘types’. Our physical properties, height, weight etc. has always figures into calculations like BMI and more, and fitness assessments did make a note regarding this, but not a lot of attention has been given to it much.

Using body type in this fashion, actually have you looking at physical form and appearnace, tissue (muscles, disgestive and nervous systems), to get a better handle on what might work best for that particular shape, metabolism and person, (individual/group), in general and specifically, is in question here.
