So, you are about to go on a diet in order to achieve a certain weight but do you really know what type of body shape or tone is your body made up of. In order to achieve a particular type of body figure, you must understand your type of body shape. Without understanding anything about your own body shape or BMI, you would never be able to achieve the shape that you are looking for. This is because every 'body type' is not the same and you have a very different body mass index.
Initially, we start off with the various body shapes. Basically, there are three variable body shapes that one can fall into. The first one is called as 'Ectomorph'. People, who are leaner and have a slim body, fall into this category. The muscles of such people are lean and it becomes often difficult for them to gain a proper muscle mass. No matter how much they eat, they don't seem to gain weight. Their weight also fluctuates with time and weight management becomes a problem for them. Because of lean muscles and less body mass, they are more prone to injury. In order to maintain weight, Ectomorphs need to do exercises such as treadmills, cycling, martial arts and kickboxing if necessary. Just a good basic daily workout will give their body optimum results.
Next up, we have the rounder shaped 'Endomorph'. This shape is rounder and chubbier than people with an Ectomorph body shape. Endomorphs have a lager bone structure and their muscles are heavier than others. They can put on weight fairly easily but their main problem is that they cannot lose weight very conveniently. In fact, they face serious problems in getting rid of their increased weight. For Endomorphs, exercising is also sometimes a problem. Since, they have large bones, they can grow muscles very easily and can sometimes have an over muscled look. Hence, they have to do moderate training and exercises so that they are not too muscular. Some of the best exercises for Endomorphs are fast walking, interval stepping and cross training.
Finally, we come towards a Mesomorph, who is considered to be on the heavier side with a large body frame. Mesomorphs can easily get their bodies into shape but because of their bigger frames they can sometimes fall into the category of heavier persons. They do not require that many exercises in order to get into shape. Only light and moderate daily exercises would do the trick. Running, step exercises and yoga can be very beneficial for them.
We all fall into one of the three body shapes mentioned above; but at the end of the day your type of body shape does not matter, if you follow proper diet and exercise regimen. But, one thing that must be understood is that if you are an Ectomorph, you can never have the body tone of an Endomorph, and same is the case with Mesomorph, as all three body shapes are different from one another.
