Your Body Type, Your Workout!

Pin It

I have listed all the body types as well as a few tips for some who need extra help. Dr. Oz has some great tips on different body types and things they need. I added what he said as well for you to read. Also I posted products Dr. Oz was talking about that I think are just awesome.

Yes, I know, I listed all the body types on this page with all the extras but hey, who's to say you won't find out something that could help a friend or family member. ;)

The "A Frame"

If you carry extra weight in mainly hips, thighs and buttocks, while your waist and bust are small.

Training-
Upper Body:  repetitions 6-8 range.
Lower Body: repetitions 10-15 range.

"Body Type: Big Bottom
Two-thirds of women have this body shape, the gynaeoid, more commonly known as big bottomed. Studies show that having a big behind is not as dangerous as having belly fat, and may even protect you against deadly illnesses like diabetes and cardiovascular disease. However, your bottom is the first place you gain weight and the toughest area to trim down because your body wants to store this fat as energy.

If you have a large bottom, your diet should be high in complex carbs and protein and low in fat. This type of diet makes it harder for your body to store unwanted fat on your behind.

Fat Buster: Red Clover Meal
2 Cups Red Clover Tea
Red clover tea contains isoflavones, which can help regulate estrogen that contributes to fat on your bottom.

Bonus Fat Buster: Firm Seats
Try this nonworkout workout that can raise your basal metabolic rate, the amount of energy your body expends at rest. By sitting on a firm seat, your butt muscles have to work against gravity to create your own cushion, which also stimulates core strength." - Dr. Oz

"Body Type: Big Thighs
Trying to lose fat on your thighs can be very frustrating since the fat on your thighs is not very metabolically active. Those with big thighs, like those with a big behind do best with a low-fat, high-protein diet to help boost their metabolism.

Fat Buster: Liquid Lunch
Make a protein drink with a secret fat-busting ingredient: white kidney bean extract, shown to help prevent carbs from being broken down into sugars and converted into fat in your thighs.

Fat Buster: L-Carnitine Lunch Tex Mex Salad
Just like big bellies, people who carry weight in their upper body do well on a diet that emphasizes dairy. This salad has a decadent sour cream topping. Pair with 500mg of L-carnitine, which stimulates growth hormone and helps turn on the mechanism that burns off fat in those specific areas. Eat with an orange since vitamin C activates L-carnitine.

Raspberry ketone, a natural compound found in red raspberries, helps your body to burn fat by breaking up fats within your cells. It contains the hormone adiponectin that boosts metabolism.
