Body Types

Your body type is determined by the width of your hips and shoulders, your bone size and your weight distribution. There are at least 8 distinct body types: diamond, oval, tubular, hourglass, balanced, rectangle, inverted triangle and triangle.

How can you determine your body type? Here are the basic characteristics of each.

Diamond- waist extends beyond the hips and shoulders. Generally have slim hips and legs.

Oval- an all over roundness.

Tubular- a thinner version of the rectangle (see below).

Hourglass- curvy, hips and shoulders match in width, a very narrow waist.

Balanced- hips and shoulders match in width, a small waist but not extreme like the hourglass.

Rectangle- has very little or no definition in waist. Hips and shoulders are generally equal in width. 

Inverted Triangle- shoulders are wider than hips.

Triangle- hips are wider than shoulders.
