How to Transform Your Body Shape

Prior to knowing the way to re-shape yourself, it’s essential that you know something about body fat distribution. Stays associated are the levels of androgens and an overall muscle density.

As we all know, there is a bit of estrogen in all men and a bit of testosterone in every woman. Estrogen forces the fat to get stored in the buttocks, in thighs and in the hips, while testosterone breaks down the fat. Factors like menopause and andro-pause also contribute significantly in determining the body shapes; in women, the estrogen levels declines with menopause, making fat migrate from the former places to the waist and to the belly. In men, a decline in testosterone does the same thing. Overall, you either become an apple or a pear. Of course, being healthy, overweight and obese also affect body shape, so firstly, you must find out which of the above categories do you fall into.

It’s obvious that coming back to shape requires physical efforts, but a physical effort must be backed with necessary fuel. Thus, a properly structured diet is of great importance; even important is the tenacity to stick to it. Walking or jogging long distances require a lot of energy; while some parts of it must come from your reserves, some must be readily supplied. Those who are already thinking about skipping meals and going for targeted exercises must restrain; it won’t reduce fat from those specific parts.

So go for full-body strength training thrice a week. It shall add lean muscle mass and increase the metabolic rate; make your musculus quadriceps femoris work a little harder to produce more testosterone but whatever you do, it must be a high-intensity, short-interval training. Each set must not be less than 15 seconds and more than 60 seconds and a minute worth recovery span in between should suffice.

Regarding diet, there is no restriction (except from complex carbs and saturated fatty acids) but care must be taken that they are being absorbed in your body. Start limiting your carbohydrate and fat intakes gradually while increasing the amounts of lean proteins and healthy fats. Top it off with green fibrous vegetables, cereals and a lot of water to keep hydrated, there is nothing that can stop you from gaining a good shape within almost no time.
