WHAT ARE THE BODY TYPES?

-

Geneticall­y, people are mainly categorise­d into three body types: ectomorphs, mesomorphs, and endomorphs. Ectomorphs tend to have a leaner build with small joints and lean muscle. Typically they also have long thin limbs with stringy muscles. Ectomorphs find it difficult to gain weight or have curvier bodies. Whereas a mesomorph has large bone structure, larger muscles and a naturally athletic body they find it quite easy to gain and lose weight. Endomorphs on the other hand gain weight quite easily and have larger frames with thick arms and legs.
