When someone thinks of their dream body type, they often use popular sports physique types to describe it. It isn't uncommon to hear someone compare a mans build to that of a linebacker, or a womans build to that of a dancer. I am going to discuss in detail four types of athletic physiques.

The Swimmers Body: Look no further than record breaking Olympic Gold Medalist - Michael Phelps to find the picture perfect description of a swimmers body (for a man of course). His torso is lean and tone, with well defined (but not bulky) muscles. For men, the swimmer's body type has broad shoulders, a medium to long torso and a flat as a board abdomen. What sets apart the swimmers body from other athletic types is the noticeable lean-ness of their physique and broadness of their shoulders. There long bodies combined with great posture makes for a regal effect. Ironically enough, a swimmers body type for women is a bit different. They too have well defined muscles, but because it shows mostly in their shoulders, triceps and biceps - it can come across as a little too broad or bulky. But trust there is nothing bulky about the female swimmers body - like most women athletes, the training of a swimmer leads to muscle development that the average woman never experiences.

The Gymnast's Body: It's usually easy to spot the trained gymnast - just look for the person that's usually short in height, with long muscular legs and a short torso. Though male gymnasts are taller than female gymnasts (of course), generally speaking - gymnasts tend to be shorter than the average. Their strength is in their legs and upper body, so bulky muscular thighs, calves, biceps and triceps are not uncommon. This becomes even more noticeable in female gymnasts.Taller gymnasts, particularly female gymnasts tend to have leaner muscle definition. Most female gymnasts also have boxy hips and shoulders.

The Dancer's Body: The dancer's body type can be identified by defined calves and thighs, a long or straight torso (often emphasized by great posture) and lean muscular arms. In men, the waist line tends to be thinner and in women, the back/lower back is noticeably toned. Now this is just a general description - there are so many types of dance that bring strength and definition to different muscles in the body. For example, someone trained in ballet will have a taller and leaner looking physique, whereas someone trained in tap will have more definition in their lower legs.

The Track Runner's Body: The sprinter track athlete's body type is hands down the most muscular of them all and this goes for both men and women. This changes for long distance runners. Track athletes who run in cross country events have a leaner and longer muscle. The sprinter's body type is what comes to the mind of most people when they think of a track athlete. Their muscles in their legs are extremely well defined, from the calves, to the quads and including the glutes. Theirs is a body type built for speed.

If it is your wish or desire to become a better dancer than you are now, it is my opinion that one of the most important factors is to be trainable. To be "trainable" you must be willing to receive information and apply it. You must check your ego at the door and pick up your stiff upper lip. You must be willing to allow your instructor to critique your dancing, expose your weaknesses and make suggestions. After all, that is what you are compensating them for. Their experience and their knowledge.

Sometimes there may be very simple suggestions that are easily applied to your dancing. Other times it may take weeks, or even months to break old habits and retrain muscle memory that you have already established. To prevent becoming stagnant, or at your current level of dance, you must always be working on yourself. I know that there are many things that I wish to improve. My turn technique, foot positions, connection, timing or even just the way I hold my hand, my dancing is always a work in progress.

Last night I danced a Country Two Step with a gentleman that I have never danced with before. While leaving the dance floor, he thanked me, asked me where I got the ball bearings installed on my shoes, said that I had the best connection he had felt in a really long time and that it was the best dance he had had in years. I thanked him for being so kind and for such a great dance. His compliments reassured me that all of the hard work, practice, effort and willingness to take constructive criticism, apply it and come back for more was worth its weight in gold. It made me want to improve even more. I know that I am trainable! I know that with good instruction, an open mind, hard work, practice and a willingness to be critiqued I can continue to improve my dancing.

So, if it is your goal to become a better dancer, be trainable. Whether you are taking a group class or receiving private instruction, listen, be willing to make changes and apply what you learn. To improve your dancing you must take what you learn during class, practice on your own and bring it to the social dance floor. If you only utilize the information you learn in class, during class, you will be the same dancer you were when you walked through the door. Remember that dancing is supposed to be FUN! Enjoy the journey and celebrate each new step, we are ALL a work in progress!

It is often difficult to see and measure your own progress. Whether it is dancing or in another area of your life, you are often so focused on the learning process, that you do not see the progress. It is much like watching a child grow. If you see them everyday, you don't realize how quickly they develop, but someone who hasn't seen them for several months or a year is astounded by their growth and accomplishments.

Learning to dance can be a slow, painful feat. Whether you are a brand new dancer, or someone that is striving to take their dancing to the next level, you must believe in yourself. You must be confidant in your ability to learn and grow. If you believe you can, and you are diligent in your efforts, then you will succeed. Confidence is key. It is often difficult to feel confident during the process as it often seems that everything you are doing is wrong or needs improving, but keeping an open and optimistic outlook shall help you to see results.

Imagine two dancers. One dancer is brand spanking new. The other one has been dancing for awhile. They both walk onto the dance floor. The brand new dancer is excited and happy to have discovered the world of dance. Their head is held high with the anticipation of their next dance. They have a smile on their face and are eager to get their feet moving. The other dancer, the one with some experience, finds them self dancing right next to a very awesome, experienced dancer. Their head goes down, they loose the smile on their face and begin to dance. Who do you suppose had more fun? Who do you suppose had a better dance? Who do you suppose you would rather watch? My guess would be the inexperienced dancer. Even though they were inexperienced, they did not allow that to effect their confidence. Always hold your head up and smile.

Believe in yourself and others will believe, too. Be grateful for the comments and compliments from others. Trust and thank them for recognizing your growth and improvement. It is often difficult to see or feel your own progress, so it can be very beneficial to periodically video yourself and view your own progress. You can also be brave, enter competitions, and ask the judges for feedback. You would be surprised at how placing in a competition can boost your confidence!

Remember that dancing is supposed to be fun. Work hard, laugh harder and enjoy the journey. Remain confident and dance with conviction. Remember to always believe in yourself.
