Metrosexual Body

The metrosexual body is not about bulking up muscle; it is about staying toned and fit. A survey done showed that women believe that the body of dancers and swimmers are the best bodies. What do these two bodies have in common? They are both lean, but cut. They have fit abs, mid-sized arms, but they are slim. Long gone are the days where it was all about bulking up, it is now about staying fit. Here are some tips to help you maintain a metrosexual’s ideal body:

• Keep moving: Do some cardio. Go for a jog, hop on a treadmill, bike, stair master, whatever.  The goal is to keep your heart pumping by keeping your body moving, that is how you will help yourself lose fat and stay fit. There are many things you can do to keep cardio going. Playing sports is a big one. Go play a game of basketball or soccer, any type of sport where you are constantly moving, squash is another good one. Dance if you like dancing, dancing requires you to keep moving and will help you cut the fat and keep fit.

• Burn that stomach: Crunches. Crunches and sit ups are the best for building abs. Crunches and sit ups do not help you lose weight, remember that! They are good for building your abdominal muscles, and it will start showing when you slim down through cardio. 

• Work Your Upper Body: Push Ups, Pull Ups. Pull yourself up on a metal bar, depending on the way your arm is positioned, you will work out your shoulders or back, you will also work out your arm. Then, do some push ups, this will work your chest, arms and shoulder. The reason why I am not mentioning lifting weights is because your goal is to build long muscles, not bulk up like the Hulk. 

• Work Your Lower Body: Squats. Squats will help you maintain your leg muscles. There’s nothing weirder than having a well-built upper body with some chicken legs. It looks really awkward; you’ll look like a tree or a sign post.

• Eat Right: Proper Diet. You do not have to follow a strict diet, but honestly, just cut out the junk food. That’s the simplest way of eating healthy. Anything that is supposed to be bad for you is bad for you. Just eat some more fruits, good fibers, vegetables, and lean meats. Eating healthy should help out A LOT!
