What IS my body type?

What IS my body type?

 

Just as clothes and shoes come in different sizes to fit each person individually, so should fitness plans! One of the biggest misconceptions about striving for a healthier lifestyle is thinking that the same nutrition plan and workout routine will give the same results for everyone.

In order to truly set yourself up for success, you must take a realistic look at your metabolism and body type. 

So… what are the body types?

While these three body types are not necessarily ‘one size fits all’, understanding which type most closely describes your natural skeletal frame, muscular composition, and metabolic rate is essential for understanding how your body will respond mos effectively to changes in fitness and nutrition.

 Best Fitness Magazine For Women

Perusing magazines in the fitness section of any major retailer can be an intimidating experience. Trying to find the perfect fit when it comes to a fitness magazine for women can be equally challenging, but finding the right publication to fit your needs important.

Our favorite women's fitness magazine for is Robert Kennedy’s Oxygen magazine. This publication is so much more than simply fitness magazine. It’s pages offer readers recipes for clean eating, new fitness routines each month, interviews with fitness industry leaders, and SO much more.
 

While other magazines have articles about lip gloss and celebrity weight loss, this magazine connects with real Oxygen readers who have transformed their lives and achieved their fitness goals through discipline and hard work.

Of course Oxygen may not be an ideal fit for all women, depending on what you’re interests are; but if you are interested in building muscle, trying new recipes, and learning from leading experts in the female fitness industry… Oxygen is the magazine you’ve been waiting for!
