Shape your Body

Unfortunately, if you are someone who is unhappy about your Body Shape then I’m afraid to say that no matter how much body toning exercises is going to change that Shape of your to something more along the lines of a Cindy Crawford Body Shape.

For most women though a poor Body Shape is not the issue but rather the gastly Fat distribution as a result of your Apple, Ruler, Hourglass or Pear Body Shape.

It’s fair to say that Fat is Ugly regardless of whether it resides around your hips like an Pear Body Shape or all over the midsection like an Apple Body Shape.

So, before you go into despair yelling “I hate my Body Shape!” I will alert you to the fact your Body Shape isn’t the problem. There are many examples of people across of each of the Four Body Shapes who have excellent figures.

It comes down to consistently following a smart Diet and Exercise regime that suits your Body Shape. Of course this requires discipline, patience and motivation.

Dressing for your Body Shape

There is a much light being shone these days on dressing correctly to suit your Shape though the use of good body shape wear. This simply means that your troubling features -such as your hips if you were an Apple- are disguised and your better features such as your shoulders are accentuated. As a result this will give you a more well proportioned look to your Body.

For example, an individual with a Ruler Body Shape with few curves to the Body could wear something like a loosely fitting coat tightly button around the midsection to make the Upper Body and the hips protrude more and in turn revealing a more voluptuous, curvy look. This is just one of the many examples of dressing for your Body Shape.

Another typical example of crerating illusion oppose to your Shape would for an individual with the much sought after Hourglass figure. This person's Body would usually be broad in both the Upper and Lower Body regions with a narrower midsection. Scarlett Johansson is refered to having the most sought after Hourglass figure.

If you are an hourglass what you should aiming for is to draw attention to those fabulous curves of yours. This can be achieved by generally wearing well fitted garments such as dresses and jeans which clearly define the waistline.
