ECTOMORPHS LEAN LEGS WORKOUT GUIDELINES

 When I think of Ectomorphs the first thing that comes to mind is Victoria's Secret Angles; Alright Kendall Jenner.   

   *Still not sure about your body type, find out now by Clicking Here

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
