Your body type refers to the natural shape of your physique, influenced by genetics, fat distribution, and bone structure. Knowing your body type helps you choose the most effective ways to enhance your look.

Common Body Types

  1. Ectomorph: Slim frame, fast metabolism, minimal fat.
  2. Mesomorph: Athletic build, broad shoulders, defined waist.
  3. Endomorph: Rounder figure, stores fat easily.

Alternatively, body shapes often fall into these categories:

  • Apple: Weight concentrated in the midsection.
  • Pear: Slim upper body with fuller hips and thighs.
  • Hourglass: Balanced bust and hips with a defined waist.
  • Rectangle: Straight figure with minimal curves.
