Endomorphs usually have a slower metabolism which makes fat loss very difficult. They also have a relatively large bone structure and even though they can lift heavy weights around the gym, their body frame can hide their hard-earned muscle gains.
Their physical features dictate that Endomorph body type should work towards burning off more body fat directly from fat cells. To burn off the body fat, low intensity and aerobic exercises are required. When weight training, Endomorph’s should include both compound and isolation movements. Also, they should mix up their exercises every 6 – 8 weeks and the order in which they do them. Keep in mind not to train too heavy too often, which can cause serious injury. Endomorph’s should do 8-12 sets with 12-15 repitions each.
If Endomorphs did not start to exercise for weight loss before, they can start with easy exercises.
They can use heart rate monitor to keep the heart rate within the target and to maximize weight loss.
It is best to stick to, especially initially to routines sporting one exercise per body part. They will get the most and best results over time.
What should be done for this body type?
1. The No BS training program for an Endomorph recommend two sets of each exercise set, done with weights sticking to 10-12 repetitions for the best results.
2. Look for exercises that helps you with boosting metabolism
3. Burning calories and fat (aerobic/high cardio) should be a priority
4. Cardiovascular workout
At the end is all about your commitment,discipline,workout frequency and intensity, they are all important.
