Why do girls at all engage in identifying the type of their own figure? What can it affect? In this article you will learn the answers to these questions, and you can also look at the types of female figures in the photo.
In accordance with the type of figure, women establish what nutrition rules they need to follow in order to maintain their body in the right proportions, which physical exercises to add to evening fitness training to maintain overall tone, which clothes will best hide body imperfections and emphasize the dignity of the figure. In general, such seemingly unimportant knowledge can really help in presenting one’s own body to society in the best possible way through a variety of tricks invisible to the prying eye.
Case study
The first scientist to seriously study this problem was Professor Chernorutsky. It is to this person that the idea of the primary classification of the types of figures according to the width of the bones belongs (at this moment everyone remembered their favorite irreplaceable excuse). From the point of view of Chernorutsky, the following types can be distinguished:
- asthenic;
- normosthenic;
- hypersthenic.
Note that this division almost perfectly fits into the standard form of classification of somatotypes from William Sheldon. Regarding somatotypes, Sheldon identified ectomorphs, mesomorphs and endomorphs, however, in this ranking, in addition to the width of the bones, their length is also taken into account. Thus, we can conclude that (according to Chernorutsky’s classification) the asthenic version of the figure has thin and long bones, the hypersthenic type is determined by short and thick (wide) bones, while the normosthenic one is the traditional “golden mean”, and with it the middle ones in all respects bones.
What types of girls are there? Let's consider together! By the way, in the article you can see some world stars and their types of figures (pictured).
Pear-shaped
The type of figure "pear" is characterized by a very massive lower body (pelvis, hips, legs). Such a constitution is determined by the thick and wide bones of the bottom, because of which the legs are inferior in length (at least externally), but the hips grab the palm tree, sending you warm greetings along with the “ears”. The upper part of the pear-shaped case, on the contrary, is rather thin: the shoulders are a bit narrow, the arms are thin, and the chest is quite neat. With regard to the bust, an amendment should immediately be made: either it will be neatly outlined or it will not be at all.
Fat deposits are usually formed in the areas of the sides and buttocks, but the hated stomach appears last.
A distinctive feature of "pears" is clearly distinguished and rather massive muscles in the gluteal region. This is accompanied by frankly full hips (while the calves remain relatively thin), the upper body and face are not prone to fat accumulation (pretty little cheeks, as a rule, are absent).
Diet
Diet food "pears" should not include a large amount of meat and any meat products. Dieticians advise girls with such a constitution to eat fish and dairy products, as well as to consume fresh fruits and vegetables in large, but reasonable quantities. Recall that during the diet it is strictly forbidden to eat high-calorie bananas and potatoes. Jelly must be included in the diet of pears, as this product contains a lot of collagen necessary to maintain an attractive figure with this physique. However, it is important to know that jelly must be cooked at home, as what is bought in the store contains not proteins, but simple carbohydrates, which are not so useful for maintaining shape. If you can’t completely refuse meat, eat diet types (chicken, turkey).
Training
To correct the type of pear shape during training, emphasis should be placed on exercises aimed at expanding the shoulder girdle and back in order to level them with the hips. Cardiotraining is also good, which will help to effectively and, most importantly, quickly deal with excess deposits in the buttocks and thighs.
Wardrobe
"Pears" are better to give preference to fitted silhouettes, and skirts and dresses should in no case fit tight on the hips. Most suitable models such as a skirt-sun and a-line, they will help to hide excessive massiveness at the bottom of the case. Pants and jeans with a small flare from the knee will perfectly balance the proportions of the figure. All this is combined in the case of "pears" with fashionable blouses with frills or ruffles, as well as options that bare shoulders.
Avoid dresses and skirts that fit the figure completely, and at the same time, narrow pants with a low waist. Do not buy decorative elements that visually enlarge your hips (basque, ruffles and ruffles sewn below the waist line), and exclude large bright prints from the wardrobe.
Famous representatives
Kim Kardashian has a pear-shaped type of figure. In the photo below it can be seen very clearly.
The Beyoncé Lighter is another stellar pear.
Triangles
The type of figure "triangle (inverted)" is an antagonistic pear variant. The main factor determining in women the presence of just such a shape of the figure is a narrow pelvis in combination with a rather wide shoulder girdle. However, you do not need to imagine the heroine from children's horror stories or worry too much if you are the owner of the body of an "inverted triangle." And such a figure has undeniable advantages over other types: thin, graceful limbs. For such girls, the main plus is slender beautiful legs, rather thin hands, and clearly defined shoulders. At the same time, it is unlikely that the “inverted triangle” will ever be associated with large breasts; it is very difficult to enlarge the bust even visually (of course, with the exception of cases of plastic surgery).
So, the main distinguishing feature of this type of figure of women is the excess of shoulder volume over the size of the buttocks. If you have just such a constitution, it means that most likely you are a representative of “inverted triangles”, and fat deposits (if, of course, you have them or someday will appear) will form, first of all, in the upper part of the body.
Diet
The case of the "inverted triangle" is completely opposite to the "pear". He in no way can exclude meat products from the diet, this is due to the fact that it is meat that contributes to the formation of superficial muscle layers. In general, if you are an “inverted triangle” and want to lose weight, stick to a protein diet or a carbohydrate alternation diet.
Training
“Inverted triangles” are advised to include more squats and lunges in the training, which will help to increase the gluteal muscles. As a cardio, an ellipse training will be effective, which also perfectly strengthens the legs.
Wardrobe
The main task of the "inverted triangle" is to divert attention from the shoulder area. It is better not to wear clothes with decorative elements in this area, so blouses and dresses with large collars or sleeves-lanterns will not work. You should not give preference to narrowed skirts, jeans or trousers (they will only emphasize the excessive massiveness of the upper part of the body, without bringing any dividends). The “inverted triangle” should pay attention to the coat and dresses of A-silhouette, as well as clothes with the Basques, a-line skirts and the sun. Blouses and shirts with a V or U-shaped neck will look great, but under no circumstances give preference to a neckline-boat: it will only emphasize the wide shoulder girdle even more.
Famous representatives
The type of “inverted triangle” refers to the figure of one of the main beauties of Hollywood - Angelina Jolie.
Kate Bosworth and her inverted triangle are also members of this guard.
Rectangles
The “rectangle” type of figure does not tolerate a drop of body fat at all. This is due to the fact that girls with such a constitution by nature do not have a waist as such. Explain in more detail. The width of the shoulder and pelvic girdles in the "rectangles" is approximately the same as, say, in an hourglass (we will talk about this type of figure of women later), with the difference, however, in the first that there is no line that clearly and clearly separates the lower part of the case from the top, that is, the waist.
If we turn to the classification of Chernorutsky, we can conclude that the "rectangle" type is the closest to asthenic, since it is just characterized by the presence of long and thin upper and lower extremities, the lack of a predisposition to build bulk muscle mass. The last mentioned factor determines the “rectangles” have fairly flat buttocks, while they also have difficulty in having fat deposits, so you very rarely see fat women “rectangles”.
Diet
To eat "rectangles" should often be in small quantities, but in such a way as to provide a sufficiently high total total calorie content (but only due to proper nutrition!) And the amount of fat needed by the body. The “rectangle”, as well as the “inverted triangle”, should eat enough meat and carbohydrates. The best sources of the latter are traditionally cereals, so eat more buckwheat, hercules, barley and rice.
Training
Rectangles, train your abs muscles, but cardio is best minimized (just a little, if you really want to). In addition, actively train with weights, working out completely all muscle groups in this way.
Wardrobe
The main goal in the case of the "rectangle" will definitely be the designation of the explicit waist line. A great option is to wear dresses with a smell or a skirt-sun. As an ideal outerwear, a coat with a belt at the waist or a trench coat with a belt are suitable. But dresses-covers, pencil skirts and turtlenecks with skinny jeans are best removed away.
Famous representatives
Among the famous "rectangles" the main star, of course, is the incomparable Keira Knightley.
Do not forget in this category about the favorite of millions - Jessica Alba.
We move to the top and the "hole" rating of types of female figures. If the three options mentioned earlier, most likely, do not receive a unified assessment neither from the owners, nor from the experts, then they are unlikely to argue with the first and last places. So, the ideal, envying the fair sex, is an hourglass, and its complete opposite is an apple (although it sounds delicious, you are unlikely to be happy with such a constitution).
Hourglass
The hourglass figure is a welcome image for many. Happy owners of such a body make up the most seductive part of the female audience for men, because they are distinguished by their magnificent breasts, beautiful and contoured waist, mouth-watering, but not thick hips, rather long limbs. It is difficult to disagree that the type of figure in terms of the hourglass is the most feminine. However, we all know very well that life is not so simple and the more beautiful the garden is, the harder it is to take care of it. Even girls with a perfect body, at first glance, constantly have to track calories (unless, of course, they want to be slim and fit), and also in no case, under any circumstances, refuse to play sports and physical activity. The hourglass, as a rule, forms quite a lot of both muscles and fatty deposits.
Diet
The hourglass must constantly be kept under strict control the balance of calories. Experts advise a carbohydrate diet and veganism. You can, for example, constantly use a diet of carbohydrate alternation. The main thing - do not overdo it so as not to harm your body or simply not lose weight to a completely unattractive body condition. And be sure to dilute the diet with large amounts of collagen (a great way to get it is homemade jelly). or special additives. Refusing meat can be the best solution only if the hourglass continues to eat fish and poultry, as well as consume dairy products. Unfortunately, cellulite is a frequent companion of this type of figure, so you need to drink a lot of water in order to normalize the water-salt balance of the body.
Training
Everything is simple. To form a seductive figure, it is enough to combine cardio with weight.
Wardrobe
Are you an hourglass and an avid fashionista? Consider that you were born under a happy star, because you can do anything. Sheath dresses, pencil skirts will look especially elegant and harmonious on the hourglass. Tuck a blouse in a skirt, and you will not be equal. Pants and jeans with a high waistline are also great. Things with a smell will look no less tempting, moreover, like a dress, so, for example, and a blouse.

Apples
The type of figure "apple" is rightfully considered the most disadvantageous for its owners. Girls with this type of physique on their faces have absolutely all the characteristic features of the hypersthenic type identified by Chernorutsky, namely: not particularly long and thick legs due to the bones of the “apples” being too massive and wide, as a result - wide hips, rather voluminous shoulders. Such a hopeless picture is complemented by the fact that, for unknown reasons, nature decided to put off "apple" fat in the abdomen. Dear women, if your stomach and hips are rapidly gaining volume, and at least some waist is extremely difficult to achieve, then most likely you are an “apple”.
But this is not a reason to let everything go by chance and begin to consume cakes and fast food in shameless quantities. By the way, some girls just start themselves too much and from the same "inverted triangle" immediately turn into an "apple", so it’s worth considering this.
You can achieve a pretty attractive figure even with the type of "apple", for you it will be a variant of the "rectangle", since it will be really difficult to form a waist in a natural way (without surgery). At the same time, you are quite able to lose weight and keep on a constant basis the lowest possible percentage of body fat. In this case, you can maximize your own genetic potential. Of course, you will have to give up many of the joys of life, but believe me, it's worth it!
Diet
“Apple” is traditionally very difficult to follow the figure, vigilant control and constant discipline are required. A good dietary option, for example, a biological clock-based food intake system. Its essence is that the first time you eat at 6 in the morning, and then - every 3 hours (of course, in very small quantities). Another quite effective option is a carbohydrate alternation diet, which we have already mentioned more than once, as well as a vegetarian diet.
Training
To correct the shape of the “apple” systematic cardio training is vital. During strength training, it is necessary to work out gluteal muscles and legs to a greater extent (exercises such as deadlift and squats will help).
Wardrobe
The main goal of the "apple" girls is to visually stretch the silhouette and focus on the virtues in the form of legs and a bust. The dresses look great on this version of the figure, as well as the outer clothing (coats and raincoats) of the A-silhouette. Trousers and jeans of a free cut or just a flare are ideal. At the same time, the “apples” can fearlessly allow themselves to put on clothes with the basques, moreover, this element will add the missing volume to the hips, and the waist will become more expressive and clearly defined in an instant. It is necessary to refuse tight-fitting things: tops on a figure, skinny jeans, as well as large prints located in the upper part of the case.
