What shape are you in?

• Celery: Straight up and down so your shoulders, waist and hips look almost the same width when viewed from straight on.

Another form of describing people’s body types was created by William Herbert Sheldon, an American psychologist and physician, who classified people according to three types: • Ectomorph: Lean and slender build with slight muscular development.

• Mesomorph: Athletic/muscular body build.

• Endomorph: Heavy rounded body build with a tendency to become overweight.

That being the case it’s clear that genetically you can’t go from being a ruler to an hourglass or vice versa, it just won’t happen due to your genetics, build, your bone structure etc, but what you can do is sculpt parts of your body to give the illusion of being a different body shape.

Pomerac Pommerac shaped women are usually heavier on the bottom than on top and carry excess weight in their hips, thighs, and butt.

Typical trouble zones: Hips, thighs Solution: Lower-body focused, power moves, totalbody strength training, and endurance cardio.

Goal: To help even out a heavier lower half, you’ll want to create a stronger, more defined upper body to balance out your shape. This plan combines cardio and strength into one circuit workout designed to help you burn more calories (so long, saddlebags!) and develop metabolically active lean muscle mass at the same time.

Apple Apples are rounder in the middle and have a thicker waist, especially in comparison to their hips and shoulders.

Trouble zone: Mainly fat stored about the torso and waist line is not much less than her hip width.

Solution: This apple-specific plan should be a mix of fat-blasting cardio and waist-defining strength moves to deliver a one-two punch to stubborn belly bulge and trim down from the waist up. Perform high-rep weight training particularly with cardio intervals like skipping or jogging on the spot instead of resting between sets.

Coca Cola Trouble zones: Hips, leg and butt Solution: This body type is usually the most desired body shape so all I can say for this one is, keep your exercise program keep it balanced so you work your upper and lower body equally with strength training.

Include some core exercises such as the plank, side plank etc.

Celery stick Trouble zones: Everywhere and nowhere Solution: To add some attractive curves to your body type, you need to build some muscle everywhere. First of all, if you do plenty cardio…cut it down significantly, in frequency, intensity and duration. Concentrate on weight training, to stimulate new muscle gains and increase your strength, just as long as you progressively over load your system to promote adaptation.

Carrot shape With a shape like this the emphasis should be on strengthening your legs, trimming your midsection and upper body.

Trouble zones: Fat stored primarily above the waist in the upper arms, chest, back and midsection area. Legs noticeably don’t gain any weight.

Solution: Increase your cardio, lift heavier when training legs, lighter weights for upper-body workouts.

The goal is to add size and shape to your legs, reduce the waist line, lose fat from the back and arms as well.
