Ep 61: Are genetic ”body types” a thing, and how do you train accordingly?

This is a fun one! In today's episode, Rachel and Ashleigh discuss the concept of body types: (you've probably heard of these, ectomorph, endomorph, and mesomorph). They talk about:

• how these body types are characterized
• if there's real "truth" to these categorizations
• whether you can change your body composition dramatically outside of your body type
• how to train to optimize your body type
• and how all this may impact your feelings about your body and your capabilities. 

They also talk about specific strength training for sports, gestational diabetes management, and they tease their brand new program launching in April: Strong & Sculpted Shoulders! Sign up to learn more here: https://www.rgfit.com/shoulders
