As a woman it’s important to know your body type so that you can dress and workout accordingly. Once you’ve determined which areas need the most work, you are ready to develop a body-type-focused workout that can change your figure — fast.
All you need to find out which body type you are is a sewing tape measure and a pen and paper to write down your results.
1-To begin, measure the smallest area of your waist circumference.
2- Followed by the circumference of your chest, making sure the measuring tape stays at the same level
3-And finally measure the circumference of your hips.
If the waist circumference is at least 75% of the chest or hips circumferences, you are a banana shape. You’ve got a small frame in general, with little or no curves and body fat tends to be distributed predominantly around the waist.
If the waist circumference is at least 75% of the chest circumference, and the hips circumference is at least 110% of the chest circumference. You are pear shaped. When you gain weight, it tends to show up around your thighs and hips
If the waist circumference is at most 75% of the chest circumference, and the chest circumference is at least 110% of the hips circumference you are apple shaped. Body fat distribution tends to begin in the arms, shoulders, chest and upper abdomen first.
If the waist circumference is less than 75% of the chest or hips circumferences, which are virtually the same you are an hour glass shape. Body fat distribution tends to be around both the upper body and lower body. This body type enlarges the arms, breasts, hips and rear before other parts, including waist and upper abdomen
