The Best Workout for Your Body Type

If you want to get in shape by starting a new exercise program, then congratulations on making the commitment to improve your health inside and out. When beginning a new exercise program, you may become overwhelmed at all of the exercises that exist that you can include in your new routine. Don’t worry, you don’t need to be confused and overwhelmed when you choose the right exercises for your body type.

Apple
A person with an apple body type carries much of their weight in their mid-sections and upper bodies. If you are an apple, then you may struggle with a larger belly than you would like. You may also feel that your legs look thin in proportion with your upper body.

Apples benefit from the following exercises that burn fat and build leg muscles:
Cardiovascular Exercise. The most surefire way to burn body-fat in your core is to perform heart-rate elevating cardiovascular exercise. You can walk or jog on a treadmill, but using an elliptical machine is perfect for apple shapes. The elliptical on moderate resistance can help you build your leg muscles while you burn fat from your core.

Lower-body Strength training. The classic leg press is a great way to strengthen and build all of your leg muscles. When you are ready to advance, you can switch from leg presses to squats to work your legs and core.

Pear
If you have a pear-shaped body, then you carry much of your extra weight in your hips and thighs.
