Fitness tips for Ectomorphs

In a world obsessed with weight loss and a leaner frame, people on the other side of the aisle feel left out. When all the talk is about shedding off a few pounds, it is rather an irony that ectomorphs struggle to add mass. Naturally blessed with a thin frame, an ectomorph figure usually has fragile body, long limbs and a thin frame. Despite endless hours at gym and gulping several shots of tonics and home remedies, there is little that changes. And worse, they are little disposed to keep the gained weight on them.

While advice and plans for their counterparts are available in abundance—not to mention rather overwhelmingly—ectomorphs often feel lost. So here we have a few tips from dietician course experts on the ideal diet map for lean people. It is expected to be in complete contrast to what is prescribed for the obese, but surprisingly that’s not the case. In fact, the two body types are on the same plane regarding the diet workout balance. Only through the right intake and output energy should you expect to see any changes—and that simply translates into a well-rounded physical training plus diet plan, says a beauty class and fitness enthusiast.

•    Out of the numerous exercise plans that you might have looked up on the net, choose the one that involves progressive training. Since endomorphs have a higher metabolism rate, they can easily burn out whatever they eat. And it is also the body type that can over train very easily. So following a progressive training is the key to success.

•    Warm up, an essential part of almost any work-out session is even special for ectomorphs. Do the right warm-up before each of your work-outs to boost performance and glide in easily into the tougher ones.

•    Avoid Cardio altogether. It eats up on whatever little metabolism your frenzied metabolism spares.

•    Eat high carb instead of high fat diets, as being leaner doesn’t make you any less susceptible to heart attacks or breakouts. Besides the slow energy release of carbs will burn up slow and will keep your energy levels up.

How these Super-Foods can Help You Cut Out on the Belly Fat?

What would you do with a spare tire, when it is not of your car, but that round, flabby thing around your stomach?

Everything in the world to get rid of it, of course!

Belly fat is the worst kind of a fat. No woman (or man, for that matter) would want bulges from her (or his) trousers, protruding out to the point of looking hideous.

Want to lose belly fat? Here is how you can cut out on the belly fat with some simple, super-foods.

  • Oatmeal

You wake up after a 7 to 8 hour long fast. Clearly your sugar levels are running low and you pounce on the first sugary thing you come across. But early morning sugary indulgences can add to the weight, not to forget to the waistline, too. Having a bowl of oatmeal sprinkled with the freshness of fruits and honey can help keep sugary cravings at bay.



  • Almonds and other Nuts

Studies reveal that people who gorge on nuts rather than on chips and chocolates feel full for long. A handful of almonds and walnuts can satiate the hunger without overloading on calories. Go nuts!

  • Peanut Butter

Anything that is tasty is bound to fattening, right? Wrong. Peanut butter is rather notorious for the amount of calories it is laden with. But little do people know that it is packed with niacin, which keeps the digestive system healthy and prevents belly bloat. So it turns out that you need not go on a weight-loss diet to slash off that extra flab. As long as you limit yourself to two tablespoons a day, peanut butter is all for help!

  • Berries

Berries are the most underestimated in the fruit clan. Not many people know that it is packed with fibre that keeps the tummy going for at least half a day. Just one cup of rasberries has over 6 grams of fibre.

Improving cellulite through home remedies

The rippled and dimpled bulge in skin that we commonly refer to as cellulite is one of those beauty problems which continues to irk people but still we haven’t come up with any specific miracle treatments. Unlike your other beauty woes, you don’t find any off-the-shelf products and dieting doesn’t help with it. In fact, as most have believed, it is no longer a problem linked with obesity. Even thinner women with perfect BMI are complaining of it. 

Scientists have divided views over the causes and determining factors. However, most blame it upon lifestyle changes, genetics, inactivity and lack of exercise. They have even come up with several cosmetic treatments which visibly reduce and improve the appearance of cellulites. But if you are unwilling to adopt extreme measures, here are some DIY tips which may improve the appearance over time.

Dry Brushing

Cellulite

Besides improving cellulite, this is something that has multiple benefits and must be done daily. It improves the blood flow in skin and tissues, removes dead skin and clears of bumps and freckles on the skin. The ideal time of doing it is just before shower. Keep a soft brush with natural bristles in shower and brush your skin in single straight strokes directed towards the heart.

Coffee Scrub

The massage and exfoliation has multiple benefits including skin tightening and improved blood flow which will help with the problem. Take a spoonful of coffee, add another spoon of brown sugar and enough melted coconut oil to give it a paste like consistency. Now massage it in deep circular motions on the affected area. Use this scrub every day for best results. 

Consuming Gelatine

A purely animal based product, it is found in bone broth, and meat. It contains collagen, the building block of skin, which will supplement bone, nail and hair strength. It will also improve the elasticity of your skin, thus repairing the broken or unnaturally linked tissues responsible for orange-peel skin. Though, vegans and vegetarians may find it hard to include it in their diets. There are supplements available, but they are also animal products.
