ENDOMORPH WORKOUT: WEIGHT TRAINING PROGRAM
Endomorphs have a higher body fat percentage. Thus, as an endomorph your primary focus should be on cardiovascular exercise and fat burning. Endomorphs should either start weight training immediately or wait until you have reached a weight with which you are more happy.
The advantage of waiting is that once you have lost weight you’ll have a better idea of how much weight training you need to do. You will also be able to see a greater change in terms of weight loss and inches lost.
On the other hand, starting you weight training regime immediately allows you to ensure that you are not losing muscle mass, as often occurs during calorie restriction. Remember, muscle burns calories. Furthermore, the key for endomorphs to achieve a good physique is dropping fat and preserving muscle.
Endomorphs can look amazing. Whether you are a male or female endomorph. Russell Crowe has fantastic pulling power at the box office and makes the cut for People magazine's list of Sexiest Man Alive. He is an endomorph, but in shape. On the other hand, female endomorphs have it even easier. Although female endomorphs tend to be pulling out their hair in fustration with their endomorphic body, their sex appeal is unrivaled by the other two body types. For example, Sophia Loren. In a statement about the Vatican’s opposition to human cloning, cardinal Tarciscio Bertone, papal secretary of state, once stated that "an exception might be made in the case of Sophia Loren". So, both male and female endomorphs need not despair.
Endomorph Workout Protocol
Endomorphs should workout with moderate weights, so that you are not limited in the total amount of reps to be performed. Keep the breaks between sets short, approximately 30-60 seconds, to keep your heart rate high. This allows you to turn your weight training into a small cardio workout and burn fat.
Endomorphs should perform between 10-15 repetitions per set. Priorities for endomorphs are building muscles and strength, as well as optimizing shape.
Once you are happy with your muscle size simply train to maintain it.
Female Endomorph
For female endomorphs, this means accentuating your curves by adding muscle tone and firming up. Your aim is to get thinner and more streamlined-looking, while creating an hourglass shape, by losing body fat through cardio and building muscle in specific areas of your body.
Male Endomorph
Male endomorphs need to drop their body fat percentage and increase muscle mass. Thus, transforming their body type to look more like that of a mesomorph.
