Choose Diets and Exercises According to Your Body Type
By Rebecca Marli, Project Weight Loss staff writer
October 17, 2008


The perfect body is defined by how good you feel in it, not by perfect measures. There are three basic body types: ectomorph, mezomorph, and endomorph.

People with an ectomorph body type have longer legs, tighter shoulders and hips, longer muscles, a more delicate bone structure, and smaller amounts of body fats. The mezomorph type characterizes those with wide shoulders, a stronger bone structure, and moderate amounts of body fats. Those with an endomorph body type have rounder shapes, large shoulders, strong bones, and can retain body fats easily.

If you belong to the ectomorph body type, the perfect workout for you should include exercises that increase muscle mass, such as lifting weights in short and fast sessions, four times per week;, exercises for shoulders, and calisthenics in general. Your diet should be rich in proteins, combined with carbohydrates and fats.

If your body type is mezomorph, you should work out four days per week. Try cardio exercises along with minimum one hour of stretching, and two days of weight lifting for all the muscle groups. Each workout should include exercises for your abs. Your diet should be balanced, rich in proteins, natural carbohydrates, and moderate amounts of fat.

If your body type is endomorph , your workout should consist in aerobics or other dynamic exercises for four times per week. Those with this body type may run, swim, ride the bike, lift weights, or use the threadmill to train their muscles. Your diet should be low in fats, but perfectly balanced in proteins and carbohydrates.
