ENDOMORPHS LEAN LEGS WORKOUT GUIDELINES.

Endomorphs.

In comparison to the other two body types, Mesomorphs and Ectomorphs Endomorphs will most likely find it the hardest to lose fat in their bodies. The main reason being they have such a slow metabolism.

One main and the biggest advantage of the endomorph body type is that with the correct type of working out they can be some of the strongest people around. (I am quite envious)

So what are some of the characteristics of an Endomorph:

  • Have small and rounded bodies
  • Have a large bone structure
  • Have trouble losing fat
  • Have a slow metabolism
  • Short and Stocky limbs.
Working out for Lean legs as an Endomorph
Tip 1
Avoid too much HIIT(HIIT once a week)
Don't get me wrong HIIT is good but overdoing it will probably lead to you as an endomorph gaining muscle. How it works read Here However HIIT is great as it burns lots of calories so I would suggest just once a week.


Tip 2
Running
Add Running once a week this works as the second type of HIIT. Running is also great as it burns loads of calories within a very short time.

Tip 3
Low Resistance Training(3 times a week)
These are the type of workouts that I usually recommend a lot on my channel. Workouts that tone you up but do not make you bulky. There are loads of them now on my YouTube Channel.

Tip 4
Power Walking (10000steps each day;5 times a wk)
Walking is a great way to get that Cardio in. I would go for up to 6 days a week on walking. It is the only way to burn fat in our legs as it works by taking your body to the fat-burning zone. (that's a whole new post)


Tip 5
Rest and Recovery. (Once a week)
I am so big on rest days as they are not only fun duuh but your body transforms during this time when you are resting and not when you are hitting the gym.
I love to have my rest days on Sunday but it is completely optional to what day you pick.

DIET.


Tip 1
Go for a Low Carb Diet.
Endomorphs will not do so well with a lot of carbs especially due to their slow metabolism. Try to get carbs from fruits(bananas' are great) and vegetables and avoid pasta, rice, and bread.
Carbs in form of a macronutrient percentage should be 20%-25%

Tip 2
Fat 
So we did mention something about the fat-burning zone up there as to where we want our bodies to be while working out. You need fat for that, a lot of it.
Somewhere between 45% - 50%. That is almost half your plate!
However, this does not mean you will take all the fries with you because there is loads of fat in them, but you will go for healthier fat options like avocados, sesame, nuts, and so on.

Tip 3
Protein.
Proteins are also key in an endomorph body. Should be around 30% of this macronutrient in a serving. The good thing about fat and protein is that they usually keep you full for longer.

Tip 4
In terms of calorie intake, an endomorph should be 500 less of the recommended calorie intake for a woman so that is 1500 calories a day.

That is done for today's post on endomorphs. I have a one week program designed towards losing fat, reducing bulk, and toning legs to sculpt beautiful lean legs find it Here

WORKOUTS THAT CAN BULK UP

I must start by saying that there is no workout that can be regarded as a 'bad' workout and you should avoid it because it will bulk you up. It all depends on how much you keep doing it and what muscles are mostly used. In today's blog post, let's talk about the kind of workouts that when overdone are likely to add muscle. Squats Lunges High Knees Traditional HIIT(that which includes loads of jumping) Running up a hill Using the elliptical and stair master Lifting heavy weights Jumping rope To know exactly how they add bulk please read this post  here A lot of the above workouts focus so much on the quads and hamstrings. They will probably overwork these muscles leading them to grow bigger. Maybe too much than your liking.  The key here is not to avoid them but to do them in moderation. If you do a squat as a warmup. Then that is probably not a big problem. If you do HIIT twice a week, that is also acceptable. Want to know which workouts will not bulk you up. Click Here
