Endomorphs: Workout Smart – Not Hard!

Endomorphs are special – therefore so are their exercise requirements!

Consider this: Two women of equal weight sit side by side on a couch for one hour – doing absolutely nothing! One is a soft and curvy endo, and the other is a naturally muscled meso.

The annoying fact of the matter is that at the end of said hour – the mesomorph has burned almost TWICE the calories of the endo – doing the exact same thing!

Why? The endomorph body tends to be a little shorter, have a lower metabolic rate, and carry more fat naturally. Muscle is what is needed to burn fat 24/7 – but all is not lost!

If you have read: Endomorph Body Type: The Shape of Superstars! – you know that a fit endo can put any tall, skinny ectomorph to shame!

Here are some tips to help you work smarter, not harder!

First and foremost: Cardio! Cardio! Cardio! And when you’re done that, ladies? MORE cardio: It’s the hard facts of life for any fit,  fabulous endomorph! There is no escape! If you want to give those other body types a, ahem, ‘run’ for their money. You simply must get on that treadmill, stepper, or elliptical machine. Go for a brisk walk. Go for a jog. Go swimming.

Just GO!

Light Weights ONLY, girls: Endoomorphs tend to want to use heavier weights. You may see mesomorphs and ectoomorphs doing so. Please resist this urge. Using a lighter weight and doing more reps will get you where you want to be without bulking up – which - endomorphs are prone to do!

Last but not least, ladies – STRRRRRRETCH! The goal is long, lean, sexy muscles – if you leave without stretching you are negating much of the benefit!

For optimal results: Make you objective 15-20 minutes of cardio, followed by 15-20 minutes of weights, followed by 15-20 minutes of cardio, followed by 15-20 minutes of stretching!

And, remember this when the going gets tough: The more lean muscle one has – the more fat one burns – and it’s all downhill from there…
