- What are the 3 main body types? Ectomorphs are long and lean, with very little body fat and muscle. When you picture a long-distance runner or fashion model, you’re probably picturing an ectomorph.
- How do endomorphs lose weight fast? Do interval training if you want the best results. Any exercise will help you lose weight, but interval training is the most efficient way to exercise for weight loss.
- How do ectomorphs build muscle quickly? Lift with a focus on keeping your reps low and weights high. Heavy resistance exercises are the best way to bulk up.
- What is the right workout for your body type? There is no relationship between body type and workout strategy. Your body type is not fixed, and it’s not like certain workouts are only good for some body types.

You’re reading this guide, which means you likely have SOME goals around getting fit. Those goals will likely fall into one of three categories: 1. Feel great and look good naked – You want to lose weight (and/or build muscle) and feel comfortable in your own skin. 2. Get Healthy – Your doctor told you that you need to change your ways or you’ll di...
You can lose all the weightyou need to lose without doing a single minute of “exercise.” I shit you not. (What a funny expression by the way, it makes me happy every time I use it.) If your ONLY goal is weight loss in any way, then exercise is not necessary. No treadmills. No gym memberships. No bootcamps. No feeling bad about yourself training in ...
Okay, now we’re getting down to the good stuff: Yup, eating better can help you lose weight. Yup, any exercise is better than no exercise. HOWEVER, if you want to keep yourself injury-free, build a physique you’re proud of (aka that “fit toned” look that everybody is after), AND get better at whatever fun activities you picked in Step #3,… There’s ...
Alright alright, you read the previous section, and you’re thinking: 1. “Steve I heard training individual body parts like a bodybuilder is the best for muscle building.” 2. “What about Stronglifts 5×5 or Starting Strength or CrossFit?” 3. “I hear I should ONLY do free weights, and machines are the devil!” My thoughts: I don’t care HOW you strength...

As we’re talking about physique and physical goals, I want to address something that is a major challenge for many people: “Steve, I want to lose some weight, build some muscle, and also build up more endurance. I want to get strong and run a marathon but also look like a model. Oh and get a six-pack. But I don’t want to be too bulky. Can I do this...

- Ectomorph: The skinny chick. While a lot of women might say they wouldn’t mind being in this situation, the truth is that those who have difficulty gaining—and maintaining—weight don’t like to constantly hear about how skinny they are.
- Ectomorph Workout. The ectomorph is typically thin with low levels of muscle as well as body fat. If your metabolism is fast, and you have trouble putting on weight, use this program to muscle up.
- Mesomorph: The muscular maiden. So far, I’ve suggested that mesomorphs have an advantage, but that doesn’t mean they have it easy. A woman with this body type still has to work for that great physique, albeit not to the degree that the other two body types would for a similar look.
- Training guidelines for mesomorphs. Start with a 5-10-minute warmup and light stretching of muscle groups to be worked that day. Do three sets of all exercises.
- The Skinny Ectomorph. You know those people who seem to be able to eat all they want whenever they want and never gain an ounce? Those people are probably ectomorphs.
- The Square Endomorph. Endomorphs tend to have heavier bone structures and less-tapered torsos, with wide waists and large hips. Their joints are often thicker, and their metabolisms are slower.
- The Aesthetic Mesomorph. Oh, to be blessed with a mesomorphic body type. Many of the greatest bodybuilders in history, including Sergio Oliva, Lee Haney, Dorian Yates, and Ronnie Coleman, are perfect examples of this lucky group.
- Train for Your Body Type. Chances are you're not 100 percent ectomorph, endomorph, or mesomorph. Instead, you probably fall somewhere along the spectrum.
