Know your Body type

Ectomorphs have fast metabolisms and bodies that tend to turn food into energy easily and quickly. They need to eat high protein and also increase the caloric intake as well. They also benefit from having more fat in their diet.

Mesomorphs, body type easily turn food into muscle. They also require high protein for muscle maintenance. They can eat normal number of calories and burn fat effectively.

Endomorphs, have slower metabolism and greater number of fat cells. They have a strong tendency to turn ingested food into body fat. They have to eat good amount of protein but have to watch the amount of carbs and fats in their diet. Also, endomorphs can have lower function of thyroid output which can also add to the current fat gain issue. They have to work harder to get to keep body lean but proper exercise, and diet can help  them lose fat  and gain muscle.

How Heart Rate Monitor is beneficial during workout!!

I am a firm believer in Heart rate monitors.

Heart rate monitor helps me monitor my clients physical condition and it also guides me through their workout to keep them in the required fat burning zone or endurance zone. I know some people disagree with me about the use of Heart rate monitor. They claim that it is such a pain to put it on and also we can gauge our heart rate by how we feel? or they would do the radial pulse check to calculate the Heart rate zone?

Why waste so much precious time during a workout? I would use this tool to get a more constructive and more productive workout. 

To calculate the Heart zones you take 220 minus the age. That would be your Maximal Heart rate.

220-AGE = Maximal Heart rate

Now once you have your Maximal Heart rate than you can multiply it by the target zone. Depending on what zone  you are looking for? is it subcutaneous fat burning zone or more endurance zone?

So, for endurance we  take Maximal Heart rate (times)* 0 .95 = endurance zone and for fat burning zone we take Maximal Heart rate (times)* 0.85 = Fat burn zone

This is not the end, I have more important detail information.If you have more questions please feel free to email me or checkout my website for more information how to contact me.
