Here's a neat little test (takes about 10 seconds) if you want to find out.

Your score is 2.17.
Your body is closest to a Mesomorph. You have a naturally fit body but to maintain it or improve it you should exercise and diet correctly for your type. Strength training can be done more often and for longer sessions then would be good for an Ectomorph, but you must still be carefull not to overdo it. You should train with moderate to heavy weighs and at a moderate pace, not resting too long between sets. You will find you gain muscle quite easy (some women and even men might not want to get too bulky, but this won't happen suddenly. When you are happy with your muscle size simply train to maintain it). Stick to a good healthy diet to keep you lean and muscular, and watch for any slow creeping fat gains. Engage in and enjoy aerobic activities, sports, etc. but do not overdo.0 -
I've taken one similar to this before and had the same results...that's good:
What Is Your Body Type?
Your score is 1.08.
Your body is closest to an Endomorph. This means that your biggest concern should be the losing of fat and adopting a lifestyle that keeps it off. Strength training should be done to get a better muscle to fat ratio and therefore improve metabolism. Use moderate weights at a fast training pace (very little rest between sets and exercises). You should lower your calorie intake (but not try to starve yourself) and should eat frequent but small meals. Sugars, sweets and junk food should be eliminated from your diet. Engage daily in some activity like brisk walking, biking, etc., and try to increase the amount of time you spend each week.0 -
That was neat....thanks for sharing0

interesting
heres what I got when i took the quiz
Your score is 1.67.
Your body is between an EndoMorph and a Mesomorph. Choose a middle approach between the follow recommendations.
Endomorph: An Endomorph's biggest concern should be the losing of fat and adopting a lifestyle that keeps it off. Strength training should be done to get a better muscle to fat ratio and therefore improve metabolism. Use moderate weights at a fast training pace (very little rest between sets and exercises).

Mesomorph: Mesomorphs have a naturally fit body but to maintain it or improve it you should exercise and diet correctly for your type. Strength training can be done more often and for longer sessions then would be good for an Ectomorph, but you must still be carefull not to overdo it.

That is pretty much correct, it has been the "creeping fat gains" that have motivated me to get on here! LOL!0 -

WOW!!!! I have to say this is probably the most accurate evaluation of my body type I have ever had (although my doc already says this!). I have always been described as having an athletic build, and right now I do have too much body fat, but I know that I am also pretty muscular as well...0 -
