Rock It According To Your Blood Type

Studies have shown that different blood types should not only eat differently, but exercise differently. The blood type expert, Dr. D'Adamo believes that if you're having trouble sticking to an exercise routine, you might not be doing the right one for your blood type. Say what?!

There's a whole lotta information on each blood type out there from personality to diet... I've done a quick re-cap for ya. Very interesting...

• Type O: The oldest blood line, this type is known as "the athlete" and thrives off of vigorous exercises like interval or circuit training like our Rock It Box or A-List Workout . It's also recommended to workout in the morning to relieve stress. Eat: lean meats, poultry, and fish. Avoid: grains, breads, and legumes.

• Type A: These "intellectuals" need to exercise to de-stress. Gentle exercise is encouraged like Buti, Barre Fly and Rock It Yoga or other meditative exercises. Eat: Vegetarian diet. Avoid: Meat and Dairy. 

• Type B:  Organized and thoughtful, moderate exercise is recommended to release tension and re-focus. Since this type traditionally travelled in groups, they do well in group settings like low impact aerobic classes or resistance training classes like Barre Fly. Eat: dairy, meat, and produce. Avoid: wheat, corn, and lentils. 

• Type AB:  The fitness regimen for the A + B combo, is a mix of calming exercises and moderate exercises. This type would do well in a hybrid class like Rock It Ride or Buti. Since this blood line is relatively new, this type generally has a sensitive digestive tract. Avoid: chicken, beef, and pork Eat: seafood, tofu, dairy, and most produce. 

So is this the magic weight loss solution we've been waiting for? Probably not. But if it does lead to healthier eating and getting your booty off that couch to Rock It, then it can't hurt. What do you think of eating and working out based on your blood type? I'd love to hear if your blood type matches your lifestyle!
