We shall discuss the 3 common body types and their characteristics here.

• Endomorph: Your built is big and usually have a round face, wide hips, big bones and slow metabolism. You also have a higher number of fat cells than usual. Bad news. That means you get fat easily.

You will need more effort than others to lose weight.

• Mesomorph: You are blessed with a naturally muscular body and have with wide shoulders, small waist, athletic build, low body fat with a high metabolism. With your natural predisposition, you can pack on muscles real fast and are the type that can take up bodybuilding as a career if you want to. You excel naturally in sports and will always have that sexy and handsome body that is to everyone's envy.

• Ectomorph: You are skinny all your life with small muscles, very very high metabolism, low body fat, narrow shoulders, hips and waist. You find it hard to put on weight and muscles no matter how much you eat. You will need greater effort to build muscles on your skinny frame. You are called the hardgainer in the bodybuilding and fitness jargon.
