Do you have any idea on what body type that best represents yourself? Today, I want to share to all of you on how to determine your body type, diet and exercises that suit you.

How to determine your body type?

1) You have an HOURGLASS BODY TYPE if:

a) Your body is curvaceous

b) Your body tend to store excess weight in your upper and lower body but you have a small waist

c) Your body look balanced-shoulders and waists

2) You have a SPOON BODY TYPE if:

a) You store your excess weight on your hips and buttocks

b) Your upper body is slender

c) You will notice your lower body first if you look in the mirror because your hips are larger than the upper body

3) You have a RULER BODY TYPE if:

a) You tend to have a few or little curves

b) Your body is rather straight from up to down

c) Your midsection(stomach) is the place where your excess weight are stored 

4) You have a CONE BODY TYPE if:

a) Your lower body is smaller than your upper body

b) Your excess weight goes to your arms, chest and stomach
