Hi Jessica,

You are exactly right. Mesomorphs tend to have an upside down triangle shape. I corrected the confusing wording, thanks

Female mesomorphs don’t have a wide waist. It’s actually the opposite.

Hi Mesomorph,

Yes setting realistic expectations is so important or the person will set themselves up for failure. Focus on your good points and try to enhance them rather than trying to change what biologically can’t be altered.

Body types are useful in sports and in determining which activity you will be most likely to succeed. However, it is also useful in those wishing to lose weight. If you know you body type, you can then set realistic goals and have expectations of what is possible.

A voluptuous female endomorph will never be able to become a willowy ectomorph. An endomorph can lose weight and become significantly more ectomorphic. However, endomorphs have larger frames and more muscle mass that ectomorphs, which even weight loss cannot change. Many women try to look like another body type without realizing that they can naturally or healthily achieve such a body. But you can make your body better, stronger and leaner no matter what your body type.

Hi Fitness Tours,
Yes, how incredibly motivating is it to see the fastest, strongest, fittest people in the world competing. Your point about enjoying what you do is very good. Most people forget to try new things, and there are so many wonderful activities for us all to try, surely we will fall in love with one of them at least!

There are so many ways to stay healthy and fit these days. It’s just a matter of looking what will give you the most benefits while allowing you to enjoy yourself.
