A body builder? Who, me?

I took this quiz, and it says I’m between ectomorph and mesomorph. I was curious as to what body type I am; but as I’m not a “serious” athlete, I probably don’t need to fret too much over it.

I do intend to keep up the off-bike work; although the aim of it is definitely not body-building. In fact, they say that body-building is counterproductive for the cyclist. When  your aim is riding fast; or climbing steep hills; you don\’t need the bulk of an overly-developed upper body.

For more on bicycling and weight loss, I look to Ride Your Way Lean, by Selene Yeager. This book, in fact, is where I first came across descriptions of the three basic body types. I  sure need her program for \”shed the stubborn spare tire\”, beginning on pg. 74. Or I can keep riding the way I have been; and pay more attention to minimizing the junk food and sweets. I\’m cursed with a mega sweet tooth!

But turn body builder? I think I\’ll pass on that. I don\’t enjoy the noisy environment of many gyms; and I\’m not interested in showing off my muscles.
