what body type am i?
i have never worked out in my life and i need help determining what body type i have for a training program
neither skinny nor fat. "fit" is how i'd describe the body in the pic.
i don't have any idea about it eat a well balanced diet. eating more, smaller meals instead of 3 big meals can help. exercise more-depending on what you have or if you go to a gym. you could always run on a treadmill, the eliptical machines are good. core secrets by gunnar peterson (he works with a lot of celebrities) is a good workout system hi lizzie<br><br>trampolining is not a very well studied form of exercise so i can&#39;t really say how it compares to running or cycling or aerobics or any other cardio exercise. i must confess that i am not convinced that trampolining alone will offer a very effective form of cardio training to become fit. i believe that the intensity that you get from trampolining is very difficult to raise to the sorts of levels you could easily to in running, cycling etc. and for that reason, i don&#39;t believe it is as effective a weight loss or fitness tool as these activities. having said that, i do believe that it could be part of a well balanced exercise routine, because it offers basically no impact and certain exercises that are good for balance, flexibility and to a lesser extent fitness. however, i do think that you should consider making trampolining part of, rather than the the focus of training.<br><br>if you do decide this, then i would suggest that you folow one of the programmes on the following website:<br><br>http://www.health24.com/fitness/getting\_started/16-474-488,24069.asp<br><br>good luck you can ask others or if you see them, just look at their facial expressions and other body language.  i avoided and ignored a jerk at the gym and the last time i saw him, he didn't even acknowledge me (fortunately).  so i know i either hurt his feelings or made him mad. dear marv<br>because this is just as much of a problem as losing weight, i wrote a number of articles on the subject of gaining weight. click on &#39;diet&#39; and &#39;view old diet & food site&#39; and read the articles on &#39;to gain weight i & ii&#39;. this info should help you. it is also a good idea to join a good gym and ask the instructor to work out a programme that builds muscle - mainly weight training and you can try one of the protein supplements - ask at your chemist.<br>good luck<br>dietdoc what’s your day rate. Physical fitness is the total functional capacity of an individual to perform a given task.
