Day 1: What Is Your Body Shape?

Good evening lovelies! Welcome to the first day of our 60 days to figure 8 challenge. Today we will be identifying our body shape. It's essential to know what type of figure you have. It will help you to choose the right excerise and diet. Pear shapes and hour glass figures are likely to require longer cardio work outs to maintain their figures.

Pear body shape

Pear-shaped celebrities: Kim Kardashian, Eva Mendes, Jennifer Love-Hewitt, Katherine Heigl

• Pear body traits: Your lower body is wider than your upper body — in other words, your hips are wider than your shoulders. Your bottom is rounded and your waist is well-defined.
• Your best assets: Shoulders, torso and flat stomach
• Your fashion goals: Emphasize your waist and arms, add volume to your shoulders and upper body and minimize your hips.

Rectangle body shape

Rectangle-shaped celebs: Natalie Portman, Cameron Diaz, Kate Hudson, Hilary Swank

• Rectangle body traits: The waist, hip and shoulder widths are similar and are usually on the slim side. Slender rectangles have an athletic look about them.
• Your best assets: Your arms and legs — and you don't have to minimize any body features.
• Your fashion goals: Create curves and show off slender legs and arms.

Apple body shape

Apple-shaped celebs: Drew Barrymore, Queen Latifah, Eva Longoria, Jennifer Hudson

• Apple body traits: Most of your weight accumulates above the hips, which are narrow. Your back, ribs and shoulders are broad, and you may feel wider than other body types.
• Your best asset: Those legs!
• Your fashion goals: Elongate the torso, show off your legs and use fashion to create the illusion of a waist.

Hourglass body shape

Hourglass-shaped celebs: Beyonce, Salma Hayek, Scarlett Johansson, Halle Berry, Vanessa Minnillo

• Hourglass body traits: Your shoulders and hips are similar in proportion and set off by a tiny waist.
• Your best assets: Curves, curves, curves!
• Your fashion goals: Show off your curves... without going overboard.

Hope you beautiful readers will all be taking part in this fitness challenge. Remember the key rule is to do an hour of excercise at least 3 days a week!
