Body shape: exercises to do at home
Everyone’s physique is different and, if you want to train or lose weight, you have to take this into account.
There are multiple body shapes: hourglass, apple, pear or triangle shape.
They are mainly due to genetic factors but also to hormones, lifestyle and stress.
Each of them has critical points on which fat accumulates. To eliminate this localized fat, in addition to following a correct diet, it is very useful to carry out targeted exercises.
Hourglass physicist
The hourglass physique is characterized by a narrow waist and a balanced silhouette, with large breasts, buttocks and legs. In this type of body shape the fat accumulates evenly, so the ideal is to do a complete workout to tone up.
Beware of cellulite on the buttocks: this type of body is particularly prone to it.
The exercises to do at home most suitable for this body shape are the donkey kick, which serves to firm the buttocks, and the dynamic plank which works on the abdominals and obliques.
Triangle or pear shape
The triangle or pear body shape accumulates fat in the lower body: buttocks and thighs are the critical points while the breasts and arms are thinner. It is therefore necessary to rebalance the proportions, training the upper body by carrying out exercises such as pushups. Squats and lunges will instead serve to tone the legs.
Apple or inverse triangle physics
The apple physique is also called android and is characterized by the accumulation of fat in the upper body, especially on the abdomen. The legs, on the other hand, are thin.
It is recommended to carry out at home lunges and squats to rebalance the lower body, while the abdominals they are useful in reducing the accumulation of fats.
Rectangle physicist
A very balanced type of body shape is the rectangle. This physique tends to have some uniform proportions on the upper and lower part of the body, with little accentuated shapes. The waistline is also not very pronounced.
The goal for the workout is therefore to make the body shapes more visible: for the buttocks you can focus on jump squat while to tone the pectorals and increase the breasts there are some specific exercises that also include the use of dumbbells.
