Ladies what body type are you?

and what exercises do you do for your body type? I believe I'm a pear ( very small shoulders/arms/breasts) and full hips and a big rear.

    I'm an hourglass. I do the same exercises everyone else does. The idea that there are exercises specific to body types is silliness.

    I'm pear shape too. I do whatever exercises I want, or whatever my trainer has planned for me :smile: I lift heavy, do bodyweight exercises and cardio

    Hour glass I believe. I definitely don't do anything special in terms of what type of body I have. Lift heavy, running and try to do hot yoga at least 3-4 times a week.

    Perhaps I've been reading to many fitness magazines if everyone says its silly to work out for a body type lol

    Hourglass is my body type. Used to hate it when I was younger...seemed to have to work harder than everyone else to keep the belly and waist trim...now I kinda like it!! I do all types of exercise...I love to run, yoga, bike, dance, and swim. I'm slowly getting back into yoga and incorporating some lifting after a rotor cuff injury.

    I'd say I'm mix of a pear shape/hour glass.

    Cardio: run
    Weights: heavy compound lifts

    You're welcome to them. You wouldn't believe how difficult it is to find shirts that aren't too revealing no matter how consevative they are to any other woman. And you can never not wear a bra in public.

    I have the opposite problem, my breasts are so small that I cant wear tight shirts or low cut shirts, there isn't anything to show!:laugh:

    But you can still wear those shirts.

    I was in love with those handkerchief tops in the early 2000s -- the ones that tied around th ebreasts and were open in the back. Natalie of the Dixie Chicks wore one in the Goodbye, Earl video.

    Anyway, no way to wear even any kind of strapless with them, so no go.

    I used to be an apple: 209 lbs and 5'8" -- did some sort of exercise everyday -- yoga, strength training, zumba, crossfit, horseback riding, tennis, etc. Lots and lots of walking, by wearing a pedometer each day and racking up at least an hour of "active steps."

    Now I'm a stick: 150 lbs, and I do everything I've been doing for the last to years because I love it, and it keeps me fit.

    The most important trick to fitness is to do things you love and can maintain as part of a healthy lifestyle.

    I'm slim all over but have a big fat belly. I have to suck it in when I'm out and about :(

    The grass is always greener.

    Just focus on making your body the strongest, fittest, happiest version it can be.

    Brick ****house. Wide shoulders, big butt, stocky legs, tiny waist.


    Right now, I do zumba, the elliptical, walk, turbo kick, and handweights/crunches/planking/exercise ball.

    I've been known to also swim, bike, rollerblade, cross country ski, kayak, go sledding with my kids, play soccer/basketball/tag/whatever game they make up with my kids

    I was hourglass but now that I have lost weight everywhere but my stomach I am an apple. I do T25 right now, not because of my shape but because I like it!

    neanderthal

    (short, huge rib cage, broad shoulders, short limbs, short forearms/shins, muscular and naturally strong, don't feel the cold, etc)






    ............well at least they're a kind of human, not fruit or household objects!!


    in terms of fruit etc body types then I'm a fake hourglass because my measurements say hourglass but as my mahoosive rib cage inflates my bust measurement, I can't dress like an hourglass. I look better following "inverted triangle" advice, i.e. it avoids the whole neanderthal dressed in modern clothing look.

    exercise: lifting heavy things and putting them down again. being short = mechanical advantage.

    I'm an inverted triangle, but that doesn't mean I have small hips, lol. I just have very broad shoulders. My ribs and hips are the same width beneath that, and they are both big measurements, too. I'm 'stocky' for my height, and it can look more athletic than I really am.

    I don't do anything differently because of my body shape. In fact, I'm trying to get my delts bigger, which sounds odd with broad shoulders, but my delts look a bit silly being so small on such a broad hanger. My biceps are also much bigger, and I think that looks unbalanced, or at least not what I like as much.

    I'm not quite sure what I am. :/ I do know, I'm a lady!

    I don't have saddlebags, I have sidecars, that's how broad in the beam I am.

    I lift big rocks. Sometimes I run and do yoga. But mostly, heavy stuff.

    And yes, if the number of fashion mags you're reading is a natural number, you are reading too many. :drinker:

    LMAO- so you are telling me you're a Urail?? (Urial?) spelling. LMAO- that's hysterical.

    I read some of the magazines- I'm a make up junkie and I like the design inspiration for my costumes and stuff- so I don't mind- but I don't take any of their work out stuff seriously. it's just pathetic.
    I'm not quite sure what I am. :/ I do know, I'm a lady!

    join the "f*cking fabulous" club.

    easier than trying to find a label to fit your body. :D

    I'm an hourglass. My fitness routine includes running and yoga, and some strength training. (I want to improve my running so I go for low weights and high reps.)
    I don't think there are any exercises out there specifically for a particular body type.

    I hope she didn't take that as rude. I just can't hear someone say that and not think of those guys.
