What’s an apple body shape like?
A woman with apple body shape tend to have wider middle compared to her shoulders and hips. Because your abdomen is wider, it’ll appear like you have no waist. Your overall appearance appear to be rounded. The shape of an apple echoes exactly this type of body shape hence the name. You can have medium to large busts, wide or narrow shoulders and/or fleshy arms. Your most attractive asset is your legs. Alternate names for apple body shape are O shape and circle.
You may have an apple body shape because of these three likely reasons:
1. You tend to be wide (carry extra weight) at your abdomen area (especially waist).
2. An overweight H (banana/rectangle) or hourglass.
3. Post-menopausal women. Since estrogen is produced lesser, all the fats now reside at your belly.
How To Determine If I Am An Apple Shaped?
To determine if you are an apple shaped, stand naked in front of the mirror with feet together. If your middle section (abdomen area) is wider compared to your shoulders and hips and you carry extra weight at your belly area, then you’re an apple shaped. Usually an apple shaped body has little to no waist definition.
Women with banana shaped body is like an hourglass body shape at the top and bottom ONLY but with little curve at the waist. The waist is the definitive difference when it comes to judging whether you’re a banana or hourglass shaped body. With hourglass, the waist is well-defined whereas for banana, the waist is not defined because it has almost the same width as the shoulders and hips.
How To Determine If I Am A Banana Shaped?
Your shoulders and hips are around the same size with non defined waist. Your waist measurement is less than 9” smaller than your shoulders or hips. Banana shaped women commonly (but not always) have short waist and flat bottoms. When you pack on the kilos, the fats are almost always evenly distributed.
