Body Shape Calculator 

Find out if you have a apple body shape or a pear shape body!

The Body Shape Calculator can Determine Body Shape by attaining your Waist-to-Hip-Ration (WHR). All you need to do is find the following human body shape measurements:

Waist circumference 

At one inch above your Belly Button place the tape measure right around this point. Record your measurement.

Hip circumference

Measure at the point of the top of the femur bone. This is the bone which sticks out at the side of your buttocks.

This is usually the widest point of your lower body.


With the two measurements recorded Divide your waist width by your width.




 

Results

If the result is 0.8 or lower, your body is classified as pear body shape; if the result is bigger than 0.8, your body is classified as an apple body shape.

Take for example, if your waist measurement is 40 and your hip measurement is 35 then you are classified a pear shaped as your hip Divided by your waist measurement works out to be 0.875.

The Four Body Shapes

There are many who declare more than the four body shapes however, I believe that most female body shapes fit quite well into either one of these four categories. Obviously everyone has there subtle variations of these shapes. 

Apple Body Shape

A women with an Apple shape will usually carry excess weight around the midriff just above the hips. A protruding belly is frequently a sign of an Apple Body.

A women with a Ruler shaped body will have hips which are in similar if not identical to the circumference of the waist and chest.

When the hip circumference is larger than the chest measurement then this is known as a Pear shaped body. Commonly, weight resides around the hips..

This is when then hips and chest circumference are very similar.
