What is your body type




ECTOMORPH
Naturally lean, slightly muscled, narrow in the shoulders and hips

MESOMORPH
Broad shoulders and a narrow waist and tend to be athletic and strong

ENDOMORPH
Usually in the shape of an "apple" or "pear".

An ectomorph is not structurally suited to building large amounts of muscle.
Ectomorphs usually find it very difficult to gain weight and are suitable for endurance sports like running or cycling where their lightweight bodies will come in handy.

While a mesomorph has a tendency to be naturally lean and muscular.

Endomorphs have a propensity for fat storage, but despite high levels of body fat, they are usually reasonably muscular as well.

Some people may be made up of a mixture of the three main body types.

Your body type can affect how you respond to different types of workouts and diet plans,
so, it is important to understand what your body type is in order to understand what your goals should be and train accordingly.

Celebrate uncertainty, because only through uncertainty is there potential for understanding. During my studies I came across this work: Whether we are aware of it or not, we are continually bombarded with information. This comes from our body and the world around us. What does this information look like? Take a moment to think about (i) what senses are available right now and (ii) what information you might be receiving through these senses. Write down your ideas in the comments section below.: "my senses right now tell me there are endless possibilities for us out there to explore, but we just don't know how, we lack the tools" Although I was asked about the 5 senses I responded by looking beyond the 5 senses and expressed how I feel to be here at this moment, in this part of the world and at this time of day. So I guess this is how I perceive the question and the world. we all see the same thing but perceive it differently Someone replied" I'm in the kitchen ...

How much protein do you really need for cycling and endurance sports? The results suggest that if you eat more than 1.6g per kg of body weight per day, you don't actually see any benefit. If you want to consume more, yes you can but it will be flushed down the toilet! All cells and tissues contain proteins, so proteins are essential for growth, repair and maintenance of good health, while the main role of carbohydrates in physical activity is to provide energy. Carbohydrates are our fuel. Cyclists are primarily concerned with getting stronger rather than getting bigger. You should be careful not to let your carbohydrate intake suffer because you are eating proportionately too much protein that you probably don't even need. With cycling and endurance sports to increase performance, the main focus will be on carbohydrate consumption and making sure you are adequately fueled before and after a run (and only during when the run is long and demanding). Recently the sports nutrition ...
