Edward Jackowski
ISBN 0-7432-1144-8
In Escape Your Shape, Edward Jackowski, the author, uses the following profiles for each of the four body types. The types are:
1) The hourglass body type means that you tend to carry weight in both upper and lower body with a slender spot around the waist. Your measurements will be different for all three areas of your body.
2) The spoon body type tends to carry most of the body weight in hips, thighs, and buttocks. The top of the body is more slender than the bottom.
3) The ruler body type is more straight up and down with little difference in the measurements of the chest, waist, and hips which weight centered in the midsection.
4) The cone body type tends to carry most of the weight in the back, chest, arms, and stomach being more slender from the hips down.
Jackowski includes exercises for each of the four body types. He is the owner of Exude Fitness, in New York City, which is the largest one-on-one motivational fitness in the United States.
The exercise tools that he recommends are: (1) one piece of aerobic equipment, preferably a stationary bike; (2) a jump robe; (3) a firm exercise mat; (4) a folding 4-pound aerobic bar; and (5) a 10, 15, or 20 pound curl or straight bar.
He recommends using his fitness workout program for your body type 3 times per week that should take you 60 minutes to complete. The ISBN number for this book is 0-7432-1144-8.
