Know Your Body Type To Lose or Gain Weight....!!!!!!


Body is the temple and the soul in it is called as God. We have to keep the temple clean and fresh in order to live long. One must know the type of body they possess. God has created every human distinct from other human being. Hence the muscle and body type of a human being is also different from others. No two humans can have same body type.

Hence one should not compare his/her body with the others. Each one has their own unique body style. According to science, human body can be categorized into three types. They are Ectomorph, Mesomorph and Endomorph. Let’s see about each body type in detail.


ECTOMORPH:

The ectomorph is slim, lightly muscled, and tall, delicately build. These guys have to work very hard to gain muscle mass. Your plus points are naturally suited to long duration activities. These guys are very good at cardiovascular training and they remain slime even eating a lot. Some celebrities having this type of body are Tom Hanks and Courtney Cox.
