Find Out Your Body Type and Start Working Toward the Body You Want!
Today I was reading HERS - the female version of Muscle and Fitness Magazine- and I found out that we each have a certain body type. Each type affects our body composition and the way fitness programs affect our bodies.
There are three types: ectomorphic, mesomorphic and endomorphic.
Ectomorphic:
Figuring out your body type can help you improve you fitness plan so it starts working the way you want it to. You can read about some of the different traits associated and recommended workout plans here:

The basic premise is working areas in a different way that will finally work. For instance, I need to do more cardio or interval training to keep my heart rate high enough to build fat. I also need to work my "high-fat" areas to change their structure. Using a moderate amount of weight will help me to build muscles without getting to bulky.
If you are more of the ectomorphic, you will want to increase the weight in order to bulk up the muscle. It's just about balancing what you have with what you want and finding a plan that's going to give you the results you are looking for.
And do not forget to eat healthy and drink lots of water...
**As always, you should consult a physician before starting an exercise program.
