What shape is your body?

IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT YOUR BODY SHAPE IS, KEEPING IT TONED AND FIRM IS ALL THAT MATTERS
The female body frame falls in the following categories:
* 'A', pear, bell or spoon shape: In this type, the upper part of the body is noticeably smaller than the bottom part i.e. hips and thighs are heavy and become more bulky when the body puts on weight. Pears have a defined waist. The extra fat is stored below the waist.
Dhanurasana, Shalabhasana, Padachalanasana and Bhujangasanas are helpful in reducing(upto some extent) the bottom and toning up the chest and shoulders.
*'H', straight, banana, or rectangular frame: This is the athlete type without curves having the bust, waist, hips equal. Here the waist measurement may be less than 9 inches smaller than bust or hips. The legs and arms are proportionally thin.When weight is put on, it is distributed throughout the body including the face. There is very little waist definition.
Katichakrasana, Trikonasana can help to reduce waist to bring a shape to the body.

*'V', cone or inverted triangle shaped: Here, the upper part of the body is larger than the lower part. The person has wide shoulders and bust, bottom and legs are slim. The waist may be defined. When cones put on weight they may become apples.

*Apple shaped: This frame has upper part larger than the lower body. The extra body fat is stored in the upper half (around the middle section i.e. chest, waist and abdomn) and face. There is no waist definition.

The belly fat can be reduced by practising Naukasana & its variations and Utanapadasana. Try to reduce the overall weight and always try to stand tall.Walking and swimming will help reduce weight. Avoid over-eating. Over-eating stretches the muscles of the abdomn and makes them loose and saggy, it is then difficult to train the stomach muscles.

YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE BONE SRUCTURE YOU ARE BORN WITH AS IT CAN BE GENETIC, BUT WITH SENSIBLE DIET, REGULAR EXERCISE AND STRESS-CONTROL TECHNIQUES(the high levels of cortisol tend to accumulate fat around the stomach) YOU CAN MAKE YOUR BODY BEAUTIFUL. LOVE YOUR BODY AND TAKE CARE OF IT.

*Scale or ruler shape: Chest,waist, bottom are all of the same measurement. The person is thin and lean. When the body puts on weight the ruler becomes 'H'.
A protien-filled diet and any exercise- P.T., yoga, jogging, brisk walking will help to tone the body.
*'8' or hourglass figure: This is said to be the ideal figure of a woman, the waist is clearly defined, app.10 inches smaller than chest and hips(are equal). If weight is put on in this figure, it is distributed proportionally especially in the bust and hips area.
A simple regime of exercise and mindful eating can maintain this figure.
