Body Types: Are you an Ectomorph, Endomorph or a Mesomorph?
No, these are not new Power Rangers characters but they certainly sound like they could be. Actually, endomorph, ectomorph, and mesomorph are the three body types according to a Psychologist by the name of Dr. Sheldon. A person with an endomorph body type is considered to be carrying around too much fat and tends to have trouble losing weight. Someone with an ectomorph frame does not have enough fat or muscle and has a tough time building muscle or gaining weight. A mesomorph is perhaps the ideal body type with a well-formed body and can gain or lose weight fairly easily. So which are you most like? Actually, it is not uncommon for a person to be a combination of the body types. Dr. Sheldon himself concluded that it was likely for a person to be a mixture of the body types and exhibit qualities from each. The purpose of knowing whether you are primarily an ectomorph, endomorph, or mesomorph is to have a better idea of what you need to do in order to gain or lose weight and build muscle
