Are you an apple? A pear? Or maybe a ruler? Discovering your body shape is more than one of those silly online quizzes. Understanding your body shape could help you find the most effective workout and, according to many studies, help improve your health.
There are so many factors that can determine our body shape: genetics, lifestyle, s*x and age. Some people can eat fried foods and junk every day but never gain weight. Some people tend to accumulate weight around the hip, others on the belly.
Based on the overall fat distribution in your body, most people can fall into these body shape categories:
Apple
Pear
Hourglass
Inverted Triangle
Ruler
What matters most is not what you are shaped like, but what that shape means for your health and how you can better manage your lifestyle to stay healthy.
