Body Types

Let's talk about BODY TYPES.

Not everyone is 'built' the same and therefore you should follow a workout routine and do exercices which are most effective for you. There are a lot of factors (such as rest and nutrition) that explains how a body reacts and grows but to lay a basis, knowing your body type can help you adjust your workout training and diet for the best results. The following 3 body types determine how fast you either gain muscle or lose fat:

Ectomorphs: Ectomorphs are the ones with a skinnier physique. They have a thin, linear appearance and narrow shoulders. They can lose fat easily and tend to have low body fat percentage. Ectomorphs have a hard time gaining weight as a result of having a much faster metabolism. Here are links to an effective Ectomorph Weight Gain Program and an Ectomorph Workout Routine.

Mesomorphs: Mesomorphs have a long torso, a large chest, solid muscle mass and are usually described as being athletic build. They gain muscle very easily and almost each workout will do good for them. Compared to the other types, mesomorphs do not require a long time to recover after a workout session. They have a fast metabolism and can lose weight more easily than endomorphs. Therefore the mesomorph body type can be seen as the medium of the 3 body types. Always wanted to become a bodybuilder? with the mesomorph body type you have great advantage as it has the ideal genetics for a bodybuilder. Mesomorphs naturally have a muscular frame, and therefore can build muscle mass quite easily, while simultaneously being able to keep their fat levels relatively low.

Endomorphs: Endomorphs are usually bigger built and have an increased capacity of fat storage. Most of the endomorphs have comparatively small hands and feet and a wide waist. Endomorphs also have higher levels of body fat. While they have no problems building muscle mass, it is hard for them to keep their fat levels low.

Here's an effective Endomorph Workout Routine, for burning fat and maintaining muscle.
