WHAT ARE THE 3 BODY TYPES?
The three body types are Ectomorph, Mesomorph and Endomorph. You can get a good idea of what those body types look like and where they are prone to store more fat (or muscle) from the image below.
💚ECTOMORPH💚
The Ectomorph is naturally very thin, has narrow hips and shoulders, very low body fat and very thin arms and legs. The Ectomorph might say things like, “No matter how much I eat, I cannot seem to gain weight.” Quite contrary to popular belief, not everyone is looking to lose weight.
💚MESOMORPH💚
The Mesomorph is kind of in between the Ectomorph and the Endomorph. They are able to put on muscle easily and genetically are the ideal body type for bodybuilding. They have very strong legs, broad shoulders and a narrower waist. Generally, they also have very low body fat as well.
💚ENDOMORPH💚
The Endomorph is more round and pear-shaped. They tend to store more body fat throughout the entire body, especially in the legs and arms. It’s much harder for the Endomorph to put on muscle and much easier to gain weight. However, as mentioned before, you can’t sit on the couch and blame your genetics! You can be thankful for the body you have and work towards becoming more fit and healthy — it just might take a bit more time and effort than for the Mesomorph.
Are you able to identify which body type you are ❓❓
