Did you know that your body type can influence the way you exercise, eat, and live? The figure below shows how to quickly determine if you are ectomorph, mesomorph, or endomorph based on the ratio of your fingers to your wrist. Below, we will see what each body type entails, what its essential characteristics are and how to get the most out of it.
How is your body type determined?
The test is simple and can be done at home:
Wrap the thumb and middle finger of your other hand around your wrist.
Notice how the fingers are related:
Ectomorph: The fingers cross easily.
Mesomorph: The toes touch without space or overlap.
Endomorph: The fingers do not reach out to touch.
