What Is Your Body Type?
Because we come in all shapes and sizes with different heights and body structures, most old school weight/height charts are undependable as there is no such thing as an ideal weight. Given that muscle mass weighs more than fat, some of the world’s best athletes would register as obese on old school weight/height charts. By establishing what body type you are you can get a better idea of how your body type will change with exercise. Your somatotype or body type is inherited and it determines how your body will respond and change through exercise. There are three categories to help you make this determination: Ectomorph, Mesomorph and Endomorph. Remember these are general classifications. Most of us have a mixture of two or all three.
