Rules for each body shape




  Fitness plans talking about weight loss and body shaping through diet and physical activity often miss one major detail: while concentrating on general solutions, they fail in targeting the underlying cause of excess pounds and weight gain. This explains the lack of noticeable results in so many people who, despite a drastic diet and an intense workout routine, don’t manage to reach their weight goals and lose all the figure-destroying fats.

The key in obtaining a dream body lies in a personalized fitness guide and a diet adapted to your shape, weight, age and lifestyle. Although the basic rules of weight loss apply to all silhouette types, unless you’re following a fitness program created especially for your figure and addressing the most problematic areas of your physique, you won’t be able to shed off the pounds as fast as hoped.


So if you’re tired of seeing your chubby figure but don’t really want to invest in expensive equipments or don’t have enough time for hitting the gym daily and reading the newest fitness guide, here’s how you can trim those fats down in no time!
Fitness rules for the hour-glassy silhouette

The purpose of any workout routine created for an hourglass body is to tone the upper and lower areas while burning off fats stored around the waist. People with this silhouette tend to store fats around the hips, thighs, buttocks and upper arms but often have a tough time trying to get rid of lower abdominal fat as well.

Exercises for this figure should concentrate on:

Arms, for a more balanced silhouette – the purpose is not to build muscles and develop some pumped arms but to tone them up for a more attractive look, so you should opt for lighter weights and more repetitions.

Legs and buttocks, for an overall sliming effect – in order to keep proportions in check, fitness routines with added weights are the most recommended ones. Squats with dumbbells, reverse lunges, crunches – both classical and using the stability ball, lateral leg raises, press ups and mountain climbers are recommended by absolutely any fitness guide to people with hourglassy body shapes.

Waist, for more definition – cardio exercises are the winning ones this time as they boost the metabolism, speeding up fat burning processes. Cycling, running, rowing, dancing, jumping rope and doing hula hoops are great ways of strengthening abs and getting rid of belly fat.
