What's Your Type?
Everybody has a "Morph." By that we mean body type. The traits you were born with determine your body type — like the color of your eyes, hair, skin, and how tall you will be. There are three different "morphs" (body types):
  • Ectomorphs are thin wispy people who have a tough time gaining weight or muscle.


  • Mesomorphs are strong, stockier people who gain muscle easily when they exercise.


  • Endomorphs are stout, rounded people with slower metabolisms that resist losing weight.
Although many bodies are a combination of two body types, the kind of body you have depends on the traits with which you were born. Focusing on fun physical activity, eating healthy foods, and having a positive self-image will help you feel good whatever your size or shape.
