Hey, learn even more about your body type!

Here are some great examples of healthy  ectomorphs

An ectomorph tends to be naturally thin with skinny limbs. Think of marathon runners. These types of people are more naturally inclined to endurance exercise, have a high metabolism, have an easier time staying thin, have a more petite bone structure, and generally don’t struggle with their weight. They can be tall or short, but are typically slim. Ectomorphs have a harder time building muscle mass. 

Healthy ectomorphs are energetic, have incredible endurance due to a high percentage of slow twitch muscle fibers, and have a good body composition with adequate lean muscle mass. 

Unhealthy ectomorphs may feel fragile, scrawny, and even "skinny fat". They'll rarely appear overweight, however their body fat composition can be quite high in comparison to their lean muscle mass.

 Eating recommendations for Ectomorphs

Fortunately for you, you probably have a fast metabolic rate and a high carbohydrate tolerance. But for you to feel your absolute best, you need to eat a wide variety of fresh, whole foods. Don't eat junk just because you can get away with it! 

Make sure you fuel your body well with a good, balanced combination of proteins, fats and carbs. 

This means that when you look at your plate, over half of it should be filled with vegetables, fruits, and some whole grains, then fill the other half up with protein and healthy fat. You can eat a serving of starchier carbohydrates (like whole grains, rice and potatoes) with most meals, and in fact, you'll probably feel best when you do so. When your healthy carbohydrate consumption is low, you might feel lethargic, weak, unmotivated, and have a difficult time maintaining a healthy body weight.

(If you have a goal to lose some body fat, you can pull back a bit on the starchier carbohydrates. But make sure that your protein intake is still really high!)

 Training recommendations for Ectomorphs

For your workouts, you will probably find your groove and feel your physical best if you prioritize strength training, especially weightlifting.

​Avoid focusing just on running, cardio or training that uses really light weights and high reps. You'll struggle to build healthy muscle mass with these modes of exercise. You're going to experience the real changes and improvements in your health if you start to lift some heavier loads and do some functional style workouts.

You would also greatly benefit from training that emphasizes injury prevention, especially if you're also doing a lot of endurance style training. (In the Strong Mommas Coaching Program, not only are the workouts themselves designed to build up your overall functional strength and resilience, but you'll also get the Build-a-Butt Workshop, a workout add-on that's specifically designed to strengthen your hip and knee stabilizers, which dramatically reduces the risk of injury in your legs and back.)
Does all of this ring true for you?
