you know that most of us fall into one of these body types? You
could either be balanced and curvaceous or slender on top but heavy
below or you could be slender from the hips down! Read on to determine
your body type and some exercises for each of these.
The Hourglass
You are an hourglass if you tend to carry
weight in the upper and lower body and are slender through the waist.
Your body would also appear balanced and curvaceous when you look
in the mirror.
Best Exercises for the Hourglass
Shape
Jumping rope with a speed rope.
 Stationary
biking with light to moderate resistance and high RPMs (90 to 120).
Fast walking with little to no incline.
Jogging or running for distance slowly (5
to 6 MPH without resistance or hills).
Swimming for distance (crawl stroke only).
Summary
As an Hourglass, your mantra is high repetitions, low resistance
and low weights for both upper and lower bodies. High repetitions
mean at least 25 to 50 repetitions for each of your exercises.
