What Body Type Are You?

So this time I will share about the body type. As you know, the body type of each person is different, there are large, muscular, thin, etc.. There are three basic body types, each reacts to the weight gain and loss in different ways.

All body types can gain or lose weight but the degree and rate at which they do varies. This will enable you to achieve your goals, make it easier to plan a fitness routine and diet suited to you that will provide you with maximum results.

Oh yes, you can test what body type you have in here. So these are 3 body type which I will talk about:

Endomorphs have a soft, curvy and round physique and display the opposite characteristics from ectomorphs. They have a sluggish metabolism, gain weight easily and have to work hard to lose body fat. Endomorphs often have a larger frame and tend to have wider hips than shoulders, creating a pear-shaped physique. Some of the sexiest and most beautiful singers and actresses are endomorphs. Similarly, many of the actors and action heroes on the silver screen are endomorphs.

Characteristics:

• Smooth, round body
• Medium/ large joints/ bones
• Small shoulders
• Short limbs
