Body types
Although we come in a variety of shapes and sizes, the human body is cast from three basic moulds. Often, features from two or three of these body types are jumbled with our individual characteristics, but it is the more dominant features that slot us into one of the following groups: ectomorphs, mesomorphs and endomorphs.
Ectomorphs are usually small and slender-framed with long limbs and narrow shoulders, hips and joints. They usually have little muscle or body fat. Mesomorphs have medium to large- but compact- frames with broader shoulders and pelvic girdle, and well-developed muscles. Endomorphs are naturally curvaceous, with more body fat than muscles, wider hips, shorter limbs and a lower centre of gravity than the other two body types.
