The truth is that there are many ways in which suits can camouflage your true shape, and give you a more desirable appearance. Whether the goal is to look taller, thinner, wider, or in general, more fit, you can find the suit that will “suit” your needs. However, there are only so many things that the right cut, fabric, length, or color can do.
At the end of the day, to look great in a suit means to look and feel great underneath it. By that, I mean being in your best possible physical shape – not only in terms of having a sculpted and well-proportioned body, but more so, by having the physical well-being that makes you stand (in your favorite suit, of course) with your shoulders relaxed and pulled back, posture tall and composed, and demeanor comfortably confident.
When you’re in that place, you can pull off any suit, wear it with flair and style, and walk around feeling like the million bucks that you’re worth.

, so as to improve your body composition toward greater muscle mass and lower body fat. Not only is this important for achieving your desired shape, it has benefits of improved metabolism or fat burning capacity, enhanced joint health, and increased bone density.

The name of the game isn’t just about running a few miles or hopping on the elliptical machine for 30 minutes. These days, you can take reliable tests that identify your unique metabolic fingerprint. These tests also identify the degree to which you burn stored sugars or fats at any given exercise heart rate, and through this, your cardio coach can design a cardio program that will help increase your aerobic efficiency and overall performance. Translated: You become more metabolically efficient (a fat-burning machine) both at rest and during exercise, and you reap the multiple health benefits of proper aerobic training! |

– and with this, you have a myriad of options. A well-designed strength-training program can address postural imbalances that will help you avoid rounded shoulders, a look that isn’t good, even in the most dapper suit. Also, specific “core” training can enhance your stance, again resulting in the overall relaxed and confident look. Lastly, muscle relaxation techniques such as massage therapy, stretching, or yoga will reduce tightness in the neck/traps, and lower back. They also relieve stress and leave you feeling refreshed. |

For the look alone, avoid foods that are particularly high in sodium, so as to minimize feeling and looking bloated. Eat your well-balanced meals of fibrous complex carbs, lean proteins with healthy fats, and nutritious fruits and vegetables. Snack on nuts and nutrient-dense foods, keep your caloric intake consistent with your lifestyle & activity levels, and you’ve got a lean, mean, well-fueled machine – something to stand proud about! |
These basic tips will give you the physique and physical, mental, and spiritual well-being that allow you to project confidence, poise, and composure – making you look great in any suit, because you feel great with who you are, and with what you are doing for your body.
