In Rob's Fat Burning Furnace eBook, he teaches his students how
to reach their maximum genetic potential for achieving and
maintaining a lean, strong, and healthy body. And the best
part?
It takes just 14-26 minutes, 2 to 3 times each week, and won't
have you doing cardio or going on another restrictive diet ever
again. That's right, no cardio and no diets ever again.
One of Rob's students dropped her body fat by 5% in just 3 weeks
with the Fat Burning Furnace system...Another doubled his
strength and lost 2 inches off his waist in less than a month.
Rob himself used these principles to drop over 42 pounds of
unwanted body fat while building lean and s.exy muscle,
strength, and cardiovascular health permanently. (You can see
his startling transformation pic and other success stories on
his website)

BODY TYPE # 3: ECTOMORPH
HOW TO TELL - YOUR DIAGNOSTIC CHEATSHEET
- Hard time building any muscle - Shoulders and hips are the same size (with little variation) - Slim - Smallish build - Tendency to ‘over-train’ somewhat - Thin - Weight fluctuates a lot and significantly
Some initial exercise suggestions for this body type or shape:
- Heavy weight workouts - All muscle groups need work (regularly and frequently) - Cardio - 2-3 exercises per body part - 3-4 sets with 6-10 repetitions
Results: strength and muscle added top priorities and outcomes, with persistence and disciplined work
Recommended work could include:
- Core Training - Kickboxing Class - Martial Arts - Tae-Bo - Treadmill - Walking - Work on buttock and thigh area
What to eat and how to adjust your diet somewhat to accommodate and support some of the work that you are doing on the exercise front to let the shape come to its full potential:
DO NOT:
- EAT or consume lots of empty calories - convenience, junk, fried or fast food - Have trans-fats in your diet - Skip any of your meals
DO:
- Eat lots of protein and carbohydrates (grains, granola, nuts, dried fruits) - Fats and healthy oils (as much as 30% of total intake calories)
It follows that many feel that your body type, shape and physical characteristics and feature can oftentimes greatly affect the nature, intensity, type and duration, frequency and effectiveness of your exercise routines, workouts and regimen overall.
Body types can also refer to the appearance of the body shape, namely pear (fat stored below, lower waist, hips and thigh areas), apple (fat stored in mid-section, above waist) or ‘banana’ (more slender - fat evenly distributed).
Body shape or type are just parts of the large puzzle in question here for either fitness training, weight loss and management and overall toning, sculpting and functioning.
