I have noticed that many of my friends often give up exercising after starting a routine because they do not see any results. Knowing your body type is a great way to understand how much more effort one needs to exert to reach a fitness goal. Body types are often taken into consideration while designing a workout routine.
The major types being:

Endomorphs β Wider/thicker Joints and high tendency to store body fats
Mesomorphs β Athletic, Muscular and high metabolism
Ectomorphs β Skinny and difficulty in forming muscles
Many do not conform to only one but are a combination of two body types like endo-mesomorphs or ecto-mesomorphs.
You can find out your body type – here
Not everybody is the same. Those with athletic body type will find it easier to lose weight than Endomorphs. With correct diet and a fitness regime, Endomorphs too can change their body type. So don’t lose heart if your friends are raving about their muscle gain or weight loss, all you need to do is set a realistic goal according to your body type and work tirelessly towards it. I know, easier said than done. But then, Fitness is a lifestyle choice. Remember – “Making excuses burns ZERO calories”. Even a low amount of exercise is better than no exercise at all.

That is an interesting exercise. In fact, the only kinds that I like! π π

Interesting. I hadn't heard these terms before. But it's good to know and be somewhat educated on this to plan ones exercise routine. So much science is involved, isn't it? It's different for everyone. Very interesting
This makes so much sense. Its always good to know these things before we start expecting any result from our workouts! Very handy tips, Raj
That's encouraging to know that all bodies respond differently. But did you also know that men lose weight faster than women?
nice one. It is important to figure out your body type before you plan your exercise routine. Glad to know that so far so good π
There are different body types and this is a useful information for all π
