    Ask and Answer the Following Questions for Yourself

    You can ask and answer the following questions for yourself, to see if this guide will have something of meaning to offer to you:

    ARE YOU HAPPY WITH HOW YOU LOOK?
    WHAT DOES BODY SHAPE OR TYPE HAVE TO DO WITH HOW I SHOULD BE EXERCISING?
    WHAT IS MY BODY TYPE TELLING ME ABOUT MY HEALTH AND PRIORITIES?

    If these are questions that have been plaguing you or that you often mull over, have heard as part of a fitness or health check-up or assessment, THEN this is in fact the comprehensive guide for you.

    Let us continue to explore and discover together how body type, shape or physique, can help us decipher the tell-tale signs of what to do to make the most of our bodies and resources and exercise appropriately for our build, condition, age, gender, health and well-being?

    When you do end up looking into the mirror, what image do you see, what types of shapes do you observe? Do you sometimes wish you looked like someone else? Do you sigh slightly or deeply as you survey your curves and folds, want your body MORE shaped and toned like others with less body-fat, more definition, being lean? YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN THIS! Whether wish or frustration, obsession or merely an observation, we all want to look good/better and live healthy and long lives, with little concern with/for health and dying!

    Most of us do not have the same body shape and up to now, exercise routines and workouts have mostly revolved around the exercises themselves and not suitability or custom-solutions for each individual or by body type – that is up to now! NOW BODY TYPE EXERCISE SOLUTIONS SEEM TO BE THE NEWEST TREND AND PROPOSED METHOD OF ACTION TO GET THE MOST FOR YOUR BODY TYPE!

    We quickly keep discovering that the body is/was designed for motion, moving and being active. That is what gets and keeps it in good shape! How are you making the most of what you see in the mirror? Do your exercises work as good as they could? Do you consider body type and shape when you put together your routines or workout regularly? Does it even feature into your exercise routines at all?

    There are numerous factors that affect our body type. Here are but a few selected from online sources and medical/research documentation:

    NOT ONE body type or shape is better or worse than the other. They are all indicative of the great diversity that we have and share around the world as the human race, as we continue to evolve, pro-create and fill the earth.
    The premise of this musing is that :If you know and understand MORE about how your body works, it will be easier for you to manage your resources and make the most of what nature endowed you with! This includes knowing how to tie in your exercise routines and regimen with the demands of your body and particular “build”, physique or body type.
    What do you see in the mirror? What image do you have of yourself and what your body looks like? If you had to draw a rough outline of what your body-shape or type looks like, what would that picture show, tell and share about you and your body?
    Your age, gender, ethnicity/race, genetics, puberty-or developmental phase or stage in life that differs from person to person, levels of physical fitness and lifestyle, health and more.
    Your shape, height and weight is never the total picture of your health and or physical/medical condition (conditioning), let alone fitness level. They do carry cues and clues as to what the situation is, might be and what we might most likely pursue to get to the ideal of healthy, balanced living and an acceptable level of fitness, so to speak.

    What does affect what your body looks like:

    The clothes you choose to wear
    The food you choose to eat *what, how much, how often, size portions, content etc.
    Male or female
    Individual factors and variations
    Increased body weight or loss
    Amount of body fat
    Levels of physical activity
    .. and many more!

    For the most part, there are many different classifications of body frame or body type. It refers to your outer-appearance pretty much. How your skeletal frame and bodily build actually are and can be seen, observed by others, from the outside.

    One of the oldest sciences of life from India, classifies the body types of shapes into what they refer to as DOSHA types. There are basically THREE body types, personalities or conditions to consider, namely:

    ONE such body type easy assessment tool, provides you with the information you need to determine which category you fall into. It has you consider aspects like:

    Skin (dry, sensitive or oily)
    Body temperature ( cold extremities hands/feet, too hot, just right)
    Eating (can eat anytime, at mealtime, long periods without eating)
    Mind and thought (creative, intellectual, good memory/taking longer to learn)
    Energy ( spurts of energy/fatigue, always lots of energy, good stamina – sustained energy)
    Sleeping (needs to be quiet to sleep well, warm bath/relaxing drink before going to sleep, sleep easily)
    Emotions (sensitive, intense and demanding, loving, forgiving and loyal)
    Environment (long, hot summer days, cold, crisp winter days, all weather, does not matter)

    For most of us, our process of identifying what specific body we are, starts with a reality check in front of the mirror. See if you can find where exactly on your body you tend to put on weight first.

    Ask and answer for yourself if there is any visible area that has more body-fat than others. This will help you determine and identify an overall and broad categorization of where you fit into in any body type classification system.

    Here are some of the key THREE body types from the Indian Science of Life convention for health, vitality and well-being. These profiles are ‘generated’ based on respondents answers to some of the category questions and dimensions listed above.
