Body Types
The human body has three different body types that are known as the Endomorph, Mesomorph & the Ectomorph. So listed below are 3 quick synopsis of these body types so that you will you have a better understanding of body type you might be.
Endomorph
The Endomorph body type is the most prone to body fat when compared to Mesomorph and Ectomorph while at the same time can gain muscle easily.
So keeping this body type in good shape would be the result of moderate exercising and aerobics.
But the health risk of this body type is that it's more prone to heart disease.
Mesomorph
The Mesomorph body type has a increased rate of building muscle on the body.
Including little to no body fat and a high percentage of muscle mass.
Ectomorph
The Ectomorph body type has a high metabolic rate that leads to the existence of very little muscle mass but the benefits are that this body type can maintain a lean figure.
And since the high metabolic rate works against building muscle mass you can counter act this by doing strength training and taking in more protein.
