You can sculpt a sexy body, regardless of your body type!  Just do the hard work based on your body type (and follow your meal plan)!  Make the most of your body type with proper training and nutrition!

Type 2 – You have thin arms and legs with excess fat in the mid-section of your body.  You need to burn abdominal fat and build muscle mass in the other parts of your body.

Belly fat causes serious health problems! Scientist have learned much more about fat cells (adipose tissue) than ever before. Researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis found that abdominal fat cells secrete inflammatory proteins that cause damage to blood vessels and other cells, leading to diseases like cancer, heart disease and Metabolic Syndrome!

Of course, don’t just focus on your belly fat! Focus on burning total body fat with full body circuit strength training and short, intense cardio sessions.  Strength exercises for fat loss should focus on maximizing your time at the gym…build more muscle mass to speed up your metabolism and burn more fat.

Good exercises to include for Type 2 body type: 

Upper body:  bench press, tricep pushdowns, shoulder press, one-arm bentover row and biceps curl. 

Lower body:  squats, lunges, step ups, leg press, deadlift, calf raises and leg curls. 

Abdominal area:  ab ball curl ups, reverse knee ups, hanging leg raises, back extensions, bridges, planks, medicine ball chops and medicine ball trunk rotations.
