Endomorphic women are usually short with soft, round bodies. Blessed with thick arms and strong legs, endomorphs take leg exercises like the squat naturally. Endomorphic women who want to achieve an hourglass figure find that their bodies are difficult to improve and maintain because they get fat very easily.
Achieving an hourglass body is a matter of increasing your metabolic rate. As the appearance of the human body is approximately 30% exercise and 70% diet, female endomorphs must adhere to strict nutritional habits to control their weight. Each calorie must be carefully analyzed to ensure that it is dense with nutrients that support your desire to maintain a strong body.
“From a metabolic perspective, the endomorph body type sometimes has varying degrees of carb sensitivity and insulin resistance,” says fitness expert Tom Venuto. “If someone is metabolically intolerant to carbohydrates due to a genetic tendency, then high-carbohydrate diets are not the preferred option for fat loss goals, as they stimulate excessive insulin secretion and glucose will be broken down in cells fats”.
To lose unnecessary weight, as an endomorph, you must immediately eliminate processed and refined carbohydrates from your diet, especially white sugars and flours. A basic example of a moderate diet for your body type is 40 percent protein, 30 percent carbohydrates, 30 percent fat. High protein intake is vital to an endomorph’s nutrition, which is why meal plans like Primal Blueprint serve as ideal potential meal plans for endomorphs.
Nutritional compliance is key for endomorphs who want to have a small waist. While other body types may stray from their diets 20 percent of the time, expect to stick to your diet 90 percent of the time to achieve and maintain results.
What about fitness? How should an endomorph beauty train her body to get results? Endomorphic women with hourglass figures find it easy to gain weight. Unfortunately, most of this weight is fat that must be controlled through weight training and cardiovascular exercise. Weight training with products like kettlebells will provide a 2-in-1 cardio and exercise workout that not only burns calories during exercise (up to 1200 calories per hour), but transforms your body into an all-day fat-burning furnace. Another advantage of kettlebells is that certain exercises with them, like swings and deadlifts, can help you develop a bigger, firmer butt.
Getting an hourglass figure as an endomorph may seem impossible, however, of all the body types, you probably have the best chance of getting and keeping your bottle of Coke once you achieve it. Many endomorphs have natural hourglass potential, and despite more stringent exercise and diet requirements, achieving a smaller waistline is effortless once you maintain your lifestyle habits.
