We also have trainers who naturally have broad shoulders and a small waist, who have been athletic their entire lives. There are trainers who have been slim and fit all their lives who simply have never struggled with fat loss (Ecto). The overwhelming majority of really fit people we see on social media generally fall into the Ecto and Meso body types. (An Ecto-Endo is virtually impossible since someone wouldn’t generally have a hard time gaining and losing weight) Ecto-Meso: can put the weight on but if nutrition and exercise aren’t properly maintained the weight will be lost rather quickly.Endo-Meso: can easily gain weight but may have challenges getting it off, however it won’t be as difficult as it would be for a pure Endo.Endomorph (Endo): Naturally round build, can easily put on weight and has a difficult time getting rid of it.Mesomorph (Meso): Naturally athletic build, can gain weight but can get it off rather easily.Ectomorph (Ecto): Naturally slim body type, have a difficult time gaining weight. There are some body shapes associated with certain body types but we will leave that for another discussion. And keep in mind we are discussing Body “types” not Body “Shapes”. And to make things worse, many of them are following advice from people who don’t know the differences in body types and therefore aren’t well equipped with the information they need, to be successful. So many people who are struggling with losing stubborn body fat, have little to no understanding of their body type. Once we have a better understanding of our body type, we are then more equipped to approach an effective strategy for our nutrition and exercise program. Knowing one's body type is an essential component in developing a strategy for weight loss.
