Make the most of your fitness regime with this advice

Is the key to your fitness down to your body shape? Celebrity fitness trainer and Slendertone ambassador, Jarod Chapman believes that recognising your individual body type is the key to maximising your results for a healthy diet and training plan. 

Here he goes through the different body shapes and gives tailored advice each type, ensuring that you get the most of your healthy eating and exercise regime. 

Skinny / Ectomorph (e.g. Mollie King):

  1. Should not skip meals and must aim for six small meals throughout the day to sustain a healthy metabolism – it’s especially important to remember to maintain an effective food plan to support daily activities and regular exercise
  2. Responds well to slow, focused training and are naturals at the long distance run or fast/explosive sprints
  3. To maintain a healthy body shape it’s best to apply some strength training as an alternative to cardiovascular exercise

Hourglass / Endomorph (e.g Holly Willoughby):

  1. Should follow fast and furious exercise routines
  2. Suit cardiovascular exercise as it strips away body fat quickly due to the high lean muscle mass to body-fat ratio
  3. Responds well to moderate weight and high repetition strength training programmes

Muscular Curves, soft body shape / Mesomorph (e.g. Rebecca Adlington):

  1. Should snack on nuts and seeds and drink plenty of water, approximately 1.5 litres, throughout the day as those hunger pangs are more likely down to thirst, not snack-time
  2. Respond beautifully to long cardiovascular workouts such as circuit classes of 30-60 minutes
  3. Find that walking after eating a meal helps digestion and increases metabolism

When training, divide your body into its Upper, Lower and Mid-sections so that each time you train, you can focus on one specific area. Slendertone products give you the chance to tone up at home, every day, while multi-tasking!  With the addition of a healthy lifestyle, Slendertone can help you to maximise the body shape that Mother Nature has given you.
