How To Shape Your Body To The Sexiest It Has Ever Been!

You can shape a sexy body regardless of your body type! Use training techniques that will bring out the best of your body type.
You are most likely a combination of any of the following 4 basic body types. So don’t worry, just do the hard work based on your body type and follow your meal plan. If you don't eat properly, you won't shape your best body. Its possible to have layers of fat covering those hard-earned muscles!

Training Techniques That Are Good For All Body Types

a) Jump training (plyometrics) and other high-speed exercises can be incorporated into any workout for all body types. Plyometrics and high-speed training will give your body better definition and give you faster results. That is why athletes’ bodies are so well defined. Good jump training exercises are squat jumps, pike jumps, depth jumps, jump rope and box jumps.

b) Similarly, sprinting is one of the best body sculptor exercises available. Avoid long, steady-state cardio sessions (defined as 40 minutes or more) unless you are a beginner or recovering from illness or injuries. Too many slow, long, steady-state cardio sessions have been proven to waste away your valuable muscle mass.

Basic Body Types

Body types for women can be broken down into 4 basic types. Keep in mind that every woman needs to do core exercises like planks, bridges, bird dogs, cobras and back extensions regardless of body type. And, sprint interval cardio sessions (20 minutes per session) are superior for fat-burning and heart-health purposes. Some women may need extra ab work.

Body Type 1

A woman with a thin, linear shape is an ectomorph. Muscle mass needs to be built on the entire body. A woman with this body type has trouble gaining muscle mass.

Good strength exercises for body type 1:

Concentrate on compound movements like squats, bench press, deadlift, lunges, step ups, shoulder press and bentover rows to build major muscle groups and add definition to your body. Single joint exercises like calf raises, triceps dips, biceps curls and leg curls are needed to a lesser degree.

If you are an ectomorph, make sure you eat enough! Many times, a woman with a thin, linear body type can “eat anything she wants” and still have trouble gaining weight! Or, she will “eat like a bird” and remain skinny. So, weight training and proper eating is critical for building muscle if you have this body type.

Body Type 2

You have thin arms and legs with excess fat in the mid-section of your body. You need to burn abdominal fat and build muscle mass in the other parts of your body.Belly fat causes serious health problems! Scientist have learned much more about fat cells (adipose tissue) than ever before.

Of course, don’t just focus on your belly fat. Focus on burning total body fat with full body circuit strength training and short, intense cardio sessions.
