  • Hi I'm 49 and am looking for a group that has some good motivation, recipes and tips. Looking forward to meeting my goal.
    Blessings to everyone!
  • So, today I was doing some searching on the different body types and thought I would share this to everyone that may have similar body types. I hope you will find this helpful to you like I did. I got this from Bodybuilding.com... I love this site, lots of good information.

    What Is Your Body Type? Take Our Test!

    By: Paul Becker

    What Is Your Body Type?

    Your score is 1.58

    Endomorph: An Endomorph's biggest concern should be the losing of fat and adopting a lifestyle that keeps it off. Strength training should be done to get a better muscle to fat ratio and therefore improve metabolism. Use moderate weights at a fast training pace (very little rest between sets and exercises). You should lower your calorie intake (but not try to starve yourself) and should eat frequent but small meals. Sugars, sweets and junk food should be eliminated from your diet. Engage daily in some activity like brisk walking, biking, etc., and try to increase the amount of time you spend each week.

    Mesomorph: Mesomorphs have a naturally fit body but to maintain it or improve it you should exercise and diet correctly for your type. Strength training can be done more often and for longer sessions then would be good for an Ectomorph, but you must still be carefull not to overdo it. You should train with moderate to heavy weighs and at a moderate pace, not resting too long between sets. You will find you gain muscle quite easy (some women and even men might not want to get too bulky, but this won't happen suddenly. When you are happy with your muscle size simply train to maintain it). Stick to a good healthy diet to keep you lean and muscular, and watch for any slow creeping fat gains. Engage in and enjoy aerobic activities, sports, etc. but do not overdo.

    I'll join! I'm re-dedicating myself to losing additional weight. I am 50 years old and ideally would like to lose another 25 lbs. It is a bit different, my body doesn't respond as easily.

    Add me. My Dr. said my lack of losing weight was because of hormones. HA. Now I work harder. I don't lose as fast as I would when I was say 20 but I am losing the weight anyhow. Having a good support team helps me alot.
