Everyone always bomb us of the need to practice if we want to achieve a better figure. And it is true!
BUT, before you start any training you have to determine your goal, above all, determine your body type and accordingly adjust the exercises. If you have stronger hips certainly you will not do exercises for your legs or if you do not have a pronounced waistline of course you will not focus on that region.
We recommend different types of exercise, depending on the physical constitution.
This are the 5 basic body types…
And now, after you recognized your type…
1. Hourglass – This body type is considered most feminine. Given that nature has endowed you bigger breasts and hips and a small waist, your job is very easy. You can do any form of cardio exercises. Every time concentrate on different muscle group.
Cardio exercise will help you keep the body weight under control, and lifting weights will help you keep a perfect balance between the upper and the lower body.
