Know Your Body Type

In the human race, there are three different types of body. Training and dieting routines are also different for each body type. I mean, if you are an ectomorph and following a workout and diet routine of an Endomorph, then it will be worthless and total waste of time or money. Because, an Ectomorph will never have the desired result by following an Endomorph’s routine.

So, First of all, know your body type, know how to do, from where to start and what to follow.

Three body types are:

1. Ectomorph.

2. Endomorph.

3. Mesomorph.

1. Ectomorph

* Lean and long body frame.

* Faces difficulties in building muscles. But have to be patient and avoid over-training.

Do:

> Train with compound moves.

> Use isolation moves as a “workout finisher” or the last move of the workout routine.

> Eat enough high-protein foods or protein supplements.

Don’t:

> Do not keep too many isolation moves in the routine.

> Do not do too much cardio.

> Do not over-train or work hard on weight training to gain toned physique.

If you are an Ectomorph, then you have got a Sprint/Marathon runners lean physique and short on muscles. It will be hard for you to gain muscle mass. So, be patient and keep on working. Get enough rest, eat more and more complex or good carbohydrates, eat more protein and enough healthy fats. Keep your eyes on compound moves rather than isolation moves.

2. Endomorph

* Wide and fatty body/Pear shaped.

* High storage of body fats.

Do:

> Train with high intensity(hardcore).

> Watch your carb and fat intake.

> Build strong shoulder(traps and delts) for a perfect body.

Don’t:

> Don’t do excessive abs workout.

> Cardio for an hour or more.

> Excessive carb, sugar and fat intake.

If you are an Endomorph, you’ll have trouble in terms of managing bodyweight. You’ll often face this weight management problem because of the high amount of fat stored in your body, wide waist size and large bone structure. But don’t be frustrated. Follow high-intensity workout routine, do enough cardio(not too much), eat a good amount of protein, keep your eyes on the carb and fat intake(do not eat too much of them). If you follow these suggestions, you are bound to have an amazingly well-built physique with bigger muscle mass.

3. Mesomorph

* Not fat-Not skinny, healthy and well-built body frame.

* Good metabolism with fast responsive muscle cells.

Do:

> Follow an ideal and good workout and diet routine just like a good athlete generally does.

> Do your workout on time and regularly.

> Change your routine and shock your muscles very often.

Don’t:

> Excessive workouts/ over training.

> Do not eat too much “SHIT” like alcohol/ fast food/Soft drink etc.

If you are a Mesomorph, here is the good news!!!! you are a “By Born” fit guy/woman with perfect genetic. You actually were born to be a Bodybuilder or a Fitness idol. So there is nothing to worry about. Just do your workouts, get enough rest, eat a good amount of protein carbs and fats but not too much. Use your genetics advantages in a proper way. Do not misuse your good genetics. So don’t rush, don’t be over smart and don’t be careless. Be wise and careful. Do not do or eat “Whatever” you want. Because, remember, you are mesomorph, doesn’t mean you will always be able to maintain a good physique!!! Your carelessness can destroy your long cherished dream.

ATTENTION : compound move= move/exercise, which works for two or more muscle groups.

isolation move= move/exercise, which works for one muscle group only.

I hope my today’s article helped you enough. Now I am sure that you have a basic idea about your and other body types.

You can prepare your fitness exercise routine and diet plan. You have wasted too much time reading this already.  You don’t have to do it anymore. Enough for today.
