Celebrity Michael Phelps displays his Body Type One (BT1) shape physique/figure during professional 
competitive swimming meets. The fully developed vertebrae (posture) and muscles/muscle mass are 
obvious. He is showing no signs of skinny fat (cellulite, thin fat, loose skin, saggy skin, crepey skin, normal weight 
obesity) anywhere on his body.
One pound of muscle burns six calories per day, but one pound of skinny fat/fat only burns two to three calories. Which directly affects metabolism (the more skinny fat and fat, the slower the metabolism). Having a strong metabolism because of all that muscle and muscle mass, no less, is an advantage that a fully developed BT1 offers, including aging gracefully.
Diet, exercise, lifestyle, metabolism, and BMI matter. But so do genes/genetics/DNA. It will be interesting to see as he continues to age how well Michael Phelps successfully maintains his muscular body shape physique/figure.
Michael Phelps Physique – BT1
Gold medal-winning Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps shows off his Body Type One 
shape/physique while taking time off at the beach with friends and family including his wife Nicole Johnson. Considered one 
of the Greatest of All Time (G.O.A.T.), in 5 Summer Olympic Games he is the 
most decorated, successful Olympian ever with a total of 28 medals (23 gold, 3 silver, 2 bronze). This includes holding the all-time records for Olympic gold medals (23), Olympic gold medals in individual events (13), and Olympic medals in individual events (16).
In terms of his entire international swimming career, he has won 82 medals in major international long-course competitions including 65 gold, 14 silver, and three bronze. Over the years, the physical requirements of his intense competitive swimming demands further assisted with increasing his metabolic rate thus encouraging the burning of more calories. All of which help Michael Phelps maintain his physique.
His net worth is estimated at $100 million. You can catch him on social media including Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. See more former competitive swimmer, television personality, and G.O.A.T Olympic star Michael Phelps celebrity Body Type One (BT1) photos on Google.
