Brides this one is for you! Pay attention, while you can’t change your genes. You can make the most of what you were born with by training for your shape. Wedding Affair brings to you the four basic body-types and all the specific workouts for women to help you work with your body for faster results.

Body Types

Pear: Pears are usually heavier on the bottom than up top and carry excess weight in their hips, thighs, and butt. Celebrity like Jennifer Lopez and Beyoncé have a pear-shaped body. Sound like you?

Apple: Apples are rounder in the middle and have a thicker waist (think Oprah, Drew Barrymore, orLindsay Lohan). Especially in comparison to their hips and shoulders. Mix fat-blasting cardio and waist-defining strength moves to deliver a one-two punch to stubborn belly bulge.

Straight or Boyish: The thin, stick-straight frame of the boyish body type is also referred to as “string bean” and usually lacks curves. Famous boyish frames include Gwyneth Paltrow and Cameron Diaz.

Hourglass: Hourglass shapes are typically very curvy both on the top and bottom, with a smaller appearing waist (like Scarlett Johansson and Sofia Vergara).

Workout To Try

A combination of fat-blasting plyometric moves and total-body strength training is the perfect workout for a pear-shaped body. You’ll accentuate your curves and feel strong and powerful. The key is to create a more defined upper body to balance out your shape using targeted arm and shoulder exercises.

Cardio seems to be the No. 1 way to exercise off belly fat, but that doesn’t mean apple shapes should totally toss strength training out the window. Combine high-intensity cardio to torch fat and effective strength moves to help you develop tight muscles all around your waistline for a one-two punch to that pooch!

If you have a thin, straight frame, you’re probably the envy of your girlfriends, but thanks to the grass-is-always-greener principle, you long for more curves. Go for strength-building workouts designed to help improve body composition and add definition to a straight figure. Calorie burning doesn’t need to be your main focus, but it’s still a good idea to throw in a few cardio sessions per week to help improve overall endurance, stamina, and health.

Opt for a plan that will not only help improve your body composition to maximize your fabulous form, but will boost your strength and stamina too. By incorporating a high step, you’ll amp up the cardio component of your strength training session and help increase your range of motion.
