Still haven’t lost all the holiday weight?
Maybe we need to change things up a bit. Did you know that there are different female body types and there are specific workouts targeted to each of these lady figures? The reason why your sweat sessions may not be giving you the results you’re expecting is because it’s simply not for your body type.
Here are some recommendations from the experts at Women’s Health Magazine on the best exercise plans for your body type:
Pear
Ladies with wider bottoms than their tops are considered pear-shaped. Think, Alicia Keys or Jennifer Love Hewitt. Exercises best tailored to your body type are those that tone the arms and build tighter mass all over.

Straight
If you have a boyish figure, one without many curves, you need to get some waist snatching going. Straight body builds can look great in pretty much everything, but will need some more curves to look stunning in a bikini. Get some shape to your waist and sculpt your glutes for a sexier silhouette.

Curvy
Curvy girls like Beyonce and Scarlett Johannson, have busts and hips that are larger compared to their waists. To keep a shapely yet firm figure, you will need to work on full-body muscle tone and shaping up your legs and arms.

Athletic
Broad shoulders and narrow hips make for an athletic body type. Strong is beautiful, so embrace your physique and get the most out of it by engaging in workout plans that tighten your core, and add some shape to your butt and thighs for a more sexy silhouette.
