The Three Main Body Types

If you were to go out and examine the body of every single person in this world, you will soon see a pattern that comes up over and over again, you will notice several features are very similar on people, things like overall body shape, height; they may have big thighs and abdomen areas. Similar levels of fat whether they exercise or not. If you were to take in to account all these things and were to categorize people that are similar to each other, you should end up with three groups.

These 3 groups are Ectomorph, Endomorph and Mesomorph. Every single person on this earth can go into one these categories. There is a few indifferences and anomalies among certain people, but overall they can still be identified and put in to one of the body types.

The Ectomorph is characterised by these traits:

* The Definitive "Hard Gainer"
* Delicate Built Body
* Flat Chest
* Fragile
* Lean
* Lightly Muscled
* Small Shouldered
* Takes Longer To Gain Muscle

If You're in to body building and have been struggling to build significant muscle, this is probably the reason why, but it can be helped by using supplements such as whey protein to aid in muscle building and making sure you have proper form in all your workouts.

The next significant body type is Endomorph body or more commonly known as the "pear shaped body", things to look for are:

* They are generally Curvy
* Body fat tends to accumulate in the lower regions of the body, namely the abdomen are and thighs
* Big Hips, Thighs and Abdomen area
* Tendency to have a blend of features from the Ectomorph and Mesomorph body types
* Has Capacity for High Fat Storage
* Small to medium bone size
* Muscles aren't well-defined

A lot of Endomorph body-type people struggle to lose weight whether they are dieting or exercising a lot. On the plus side if they do put the effort in, and make a bid to lose all the fat, they can have some of the best looking abs of any of the other two body types. Due to the slight uniqueness of their situation, they can usually end up looking like one of the other body types with the right exercise.

The Final body type that everyone longs for is the Mesomorph look, A lot of the Mesomorph's don't realise how lucky they are to have this body, because with a little work they can get stunning results pretty quickly, yet they are completely oblivious to this. The Distinct characteristics of the Mesomorph are.

* Athletic Appearance
* Hard Body
* Hourglass Shaped (female)
* Rectangular shaped, broad shoulders(male)
* Mature Muscle Mass
* Muscular Body
* Excellent posture
* They tend to gain muscles easily

Now you know about the three body types, which one are you? And what do you want to look like?

With a good exercise program, it's possible to look like any of these body types, You just have to be patient, consistent and set realistic goals along the way.
