Message of the day: Persistance

  

In life things don’t always goes to the swiftest, strongest, or smartest – but to the person who refuses to quit.

  

Body Types

Ectomorph – characterized by a short upper body, long arms and legs, long and narrow feet and hands, and very little fat storage, narrowness in the chest and shoulders, with generally long, thin muscles. (Think Skinny basketball players)

 

Mesomorph – Large chest, long torso, solid muscle structure, and great strength (Randy Couture)

 

Endomorph – soft musculature, round face, short neck, wide hips, and heavy fat storage.

(Andre the giant or NFL linemen)

 

There are 88 subcategories, which are arrived at by examining the level of dominance of each basic category on a scale of 1 to 7.  For Example 1- ecto, 2 – meso, 5 endo is one type.  Depending on your body type you can tailor your fitness routine to optimize your results.

I agree with persistence.

There's no rush, because there's no goal. There's no competition, only personal satisfaction. As soon as you try to beat someone, you've lost.


You're intuition is your life guide; if you're not closely listening to your inner guide; you're lost. Our best guide to intuition is our emotions.


Know the difference between quiting and changing to a better direction. Don't totally quit on anything you've ever learnt; you learnt it for a reason, you just don't realise why yet.
