Working out according to your body type/posture is super beneficial and sustainable in the long run! We are all unique and there is no 'one-size-fits-all' workout routine out there.
First step is understanding and knowing your body and it's limitations.
Here are a few postural types you can choose from:

Despite a strong frame, and larger muscles, your smaller, slow twitch muscles are often neglected.
Are you experiencing tightness through the shoulders, ribcage, spine, hips and hamstrings? Limited range of motion?
You should focus on:
Strengthening your slow twitch muscles
Realigning your spine
2. Runners
Running requires constant firing of your muscles and joints. This can cause tightness.
Are you tight in your abductors and hip flexors?
You should focus on:
Strength and alignment work through hips and legs
Strong posture to create efficient running
Endurance in muscles to support the runs
3. Mothers

Realigning spine and hips
4. Desk Job Workers

Knowing your body type/posture will help determine where you need to STRENGTHEN, LENGTHEN and STRETCH your body in order to improve your posture and everyday function.
