Small Body Type
Ectomorphic Body Style
- characterized by a small skeletal structure, low body fat and a high number of small twitch muscle fibers
Parameters for Toning Workout
- a person who is an ectomorph does not need to worry about over developing if they decide to train with more weight and less repetitions, because of the muscle properties of the ectomorph (high amount of small twitch muscle fibers), but it is still recommended to follow the base workout plan for toning
- as your goals change - so does your workout - example - for sports specific reasons, like a road race or triathlon, to be a better golfer, basketball player, football player, etc. and/or if you want to be stronger
