PEAR SHAPE BODY

Have you ever wondered what it exactly means to have a pear-shaped body? Well, in this blog, we are going to explore in more detail about body shapes and why having a pear-shaped figure is as fabulous as it sounds!

What are the Different Body Shapes?

INVERTED TRIANGLE: This is when the lower half of the body is smaller than the top, with shoulders wider than the hips. People with this body shape tend to gain weight in the upper body and stomach areas. They also tend to have larger chests and narrow hips.

HOURGLASS: This is when both the top and bottom halves of the body are equally broad. People with this body shape tend to have a smaller waist than the chest and hips.

APPLE: This is when the top and bottom halves of the body are narrow. People with this body shape tend to carry weight in the chest and stomach areas and have slender legs

RECTANGLE: This is when there is no major definition at the waistline and hips. People with this body shape have similar hip and shoulder width, and the body tends to be in equal proportions.

PEAR: This is when the body shape has narrower shoulders than the hips. A person tends to distribute most of their weight in the buttocks, lower hips, and thighs.

Benefits of Being Pear Shape Body

Now, let’s talk about the perks of having a pear shape body. There are plenty of reasons to love your curves: Curvaceous Confidence: Your shape is naturally feminine and has been adored throughout history in art, fashion, and culture. Healthy Fat Distribution: Research suggests that having more weight around the hips and thighs (as opposed to the abdomen) may actually be healthier for your heart and metabolism.Strong Lower Body: Your body type often means you have powerful legs and glutes, which can give you an advantage in certain physical activities. Versatile Wardrobe: You can rock a variety of styles, from flowy skirts to fitted jeans, showcasing your unique shape with flair.

The Best Exercises for a Pear Shape Body

Exercise is a fantastic way to stay healthy, boost confidence, and accentuate your best features. Here are of the best  toning exercises tailored for pear-shaped figures:

SIDE TO SIDE CURTSEY:

Begin by standing tall with both arms raised above your head.

Step one foot out and bend at the knees while lowering both arms towards your shoulders.

Hold this position briefly, then push your arms back up and return to the starting position.

Repeat the same on the other side.

Aim to do this for 1 minute.

THIGH TONING SWINGS:

Stand with your feet hip-width apart and slightly bend your knees.

Keep your hands together in front of you.

Lift one leg to the side, lower it, then lift the other leg off the floor, alternating between them.

Swing from one leg to the other.

Aim to do this for 1 minute.

PLIE TO TAP:

Start by standing with your feet in a wide stance, pointing out at a 45-degree angle, and your upper body stretched with arms bent in front of you.

Now bend your knees into a plié squat, hold, then rise up and tap your left foot across. Afterwards, step the foot back and return to the plié squat,

then repeat the sequence with your right leg.

Aim to do this for 1 minute.

The other great exercise for a pear shape is simply walking as this helps to sculpt the lower body and at the same time helps reduce excess body fat. Focus on doing workouts that use multiple muscles as this helps to naturally speed up your metabolic rate. I do have a free 7 Minute Pear Shaped Body Workout Video you can follow by clicking here:
