Should "Ectomorph" body types do a lot of cardio to burn belly fat?
I have a little belly fat, however, I’m an Ectomorph body type. For those who don’t know what an ectomorph body type is, it is skinny arms and skinny legs which would only make the little amount of muscle I do have decrease even more because I’m a skinny body type with a little belly fat. What should be my workout to eliminate the belly fat from my already lean body type. They say do cardio to burn belly fat but I have skinny arms and skinny legs already, and am pretty much lean. Wouldn’t doing all that cardio to burn the belly fat eliminate the muscle I have left to burn the belly fat to begin with? You do need muscle to burn fat I know this for a fact. So help me out. What should my workouts mostly consists of cardio or strength training? Should I avoid the cardio?
I’m an ectomorph too, I do cardio and strength training. As ectomorphs we need to make muscle buidling our primary goal but fat burning can also be worked on concurrently. Just make sure you’re doing at least as much strength training as you are doing cardio. As long as your not doing more cardio than weights you should be fine.

All the doctors and food experts say targeted weight loss is not feasible, specifically in the waist and belly places, but I managed it with colon cleanse. I appreciate they say that pills don’t work, however they certainly worked for me, and they have been shown on CBS News too.

Strength training.
If your serious about conditioning, you’ll need that little extra to push you though your harder workouts. Don’t worry about cardio until you’ve reached your goal lean mass. Then you can reduce excess body fat as you see fit, IF you see fit. Since an ectomorph will resist storing glycogen as body fat as much as possible. After building enough lean mass, your body won’t have much extra to lose just by the nature of your body.
Also, Don’t listen those that falsely proclaim ectomorphs can’t get ‘ripped’. (I hear it all the time). Fact is, Brad Pitt is an ectomorph. And he’s not exactly skin and bones.

Keep doing cardio cuz it’s just good for you. Listen to your body, if you’re doing too much one way or the other. This is more than a sentiment. Eat right stay strong.
