How to have an hourglass body shape?
What kind of exercises do I need to do?
|
Pilates exercises (google 'Pilates mat exercises') will help strengthen your core muscles. This helps you to stand taller. It's difficult to shape a body but you can do a lot to accentuate the positive features of your body!

thank you for the response... Does wearing a corset or waist trainer helps? Kim Kardashian is wearing it and she have this tiny waist. Is it really effective?

Ask your doctor about that. It can be so uncomfortable but I'm not sure whether there is danger of damaging your body. That's why a doctor would be the best source of information about corsets. It could depend on how long you plan to wear the corset.

Overall, building an hourglass is going to depend on your regular body shape. If someone is wider at the hips, already, they'll want to focus on their upper body (shoulder press, rows, etc). If you want to build hips/glutes: squats, hip thrusters (also called bridges), straight-leg deadlift/good mornings, and side lunges. Generally you'll want 4 or so weighted sets of 8-15 reps of each exercise, with 90 seconds of rest in between. That's to get hypertrophy, while other goals may require different weight, sets and reps, or rest time. |

Yes and no. Waist trainers are most beneficial for reducing bloat and revealing abs when at an already-low body fat percentage. I know one of the figure competitors I work with on occasion uses one before a show.

Can you explain a bit more? BTW, I'm impressed with your knowledge.

Having an hourglass body shape is something that many people strive for. There are a few things that you can do to help achieve this look.
First, you have to ensure that you are eating healthy foods and getting enough exercise. Eating healthy foods will help to reduce the amount of fat in your body, while exercise will help to tone your muscles. You should also focus on wearing clothing that accentuates your waistline. Wearing a belt can help to give the illusion of an hourglass shape, as can wearing form-fitting clothing. If you focus on these things, you should be able to achieve the hourglass body shape that you desire. |
