Let's look at how their diet and workout should be tailored BUT FIRST, What are their characteristics?

They have a small body frame.
They are often slim, tall, and lanky.
They do not gain muscle easily.
They have a very fast metabolism.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES.

Since Ectomorphs find it hard to gain muscle they can easily lift weights at the gym and can do most of the Cardio without bulking up.

So here's what I would recommend.

Resistance Training 3 times a week
Cardio 3 times a week
1 recovery day

Resistance Training

These are the model type of workouts. Find the workouts done by Rachael Attard, Sanne Vander, and even myself on my YouTube Channel.

They are meant to help you tone up without building any extra muscle.

Now as much as Ecto's can get away with any form of workout even the bulking up ones, I do not recommend being safe is better.

Cardio

Cardio is not necessary for Ectomorphs. The only one I would recommend is walking and running. It will help in burning fat and calories respectively quickly.

Rest

I will always emphasize how important Rest and Recovery are. This is because your body does more when you are recovering rather than when you are working out.

DIET.

The good thing about Ectomorphs in comparison with the other body types is that their main macronutrient is CARBS! That is right as I said ectomorphs have a high metabolism so as quick as the carb is in their system it is used up almost as soon.

For Ecto's Calories in a day should be around 1700 a day.

Now onto the Macronutrients

Carbs 40%-50%

Fat 20%-25%

Protein 30%-35%

Carbs should be more on their plates but it is good to settle for healthier carbs like whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and so on.

That is it for Ectomorphs if you would love to read Mesomorphs ones. Find it Here

HOW POWER WALKING BURNS FAT IN THIGHS

Recently I left a little quiz on my YouTube Channel about what burns fat more efficiently. Is it running or power walking? The right answer is walking; Power Walking. Here's the thing, the body creates energy in two ways; with oxygen(Aerobic) and without oxygen(Anaerobic). Hold on tight we are getting there. Now depending on the type of workout, one is doing the body will choose to either use fat or carbs for energy. Fat is usually what is stored. For most women, it is stored in the thighs and booty while for most men it is stored in the belly area. Carbs are usually what is available in the body at the moment. Maybe that piece of bread you just had. (Hold that thought right there) Let's take running and walking as our types of examples. When you are running you are most of the time running out of oxygen what we say 'gas'. You might be panting and breathing heavily trying to look for gas. On the other hand, when walking you are not panting, you can hold a simple ...
