Targeted weight loss strategies for different body types

2026-02-09 11:34:04 · · #1

Body shaping is often a source of pain for women. Almost all women regret their body shape. In fact, before losing weight, it is necessary to understand your own body type in order to succeed.

"Hourglass" type

Body features: Full breasts and hips, and a slender waist.

Your figure has a pronounced curve in your upper body and hips, with a very slender waist, a classic Marilyn Monroe S-shape. This body type is very feminine, but it's important to note that it has very little potential for change. Even if you lose weight through exercise, the proportions of your body remain relatively constant. Therefore, understanding this means your goal in body shaping should be to accentuate your natural curves rather than blindly pursuing a "tall, thin" model figure.

The key to achieving an "hourglass" figure is to maintain your naturally slender waist. Ideally, you should exercise four times a week, each time including about 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, combined with some muscle training.

Aerobic exercise: To achieve a fuller figure, it is necessary to consistently burn excess calories. You can choose the most effective fat-burning exercises such as cycling, hiking, and jogging.
