What is a good workout for a pear-shape. I keep hearing that you have to exercise for your specific body type

Answer 1

Anyone that tells you you can spot reduce fat is full of crap. Your body burns fat equally throughout the entire body. You can spot build muscle near the areas but that's not the most effective method. Build muscle and burn fat equally across your entire body. When you build muscle, you increase your metabolism automatically because muscle requires more calories to maintain itself than fat does. Don't believe the lies about looking bulky. Even when you try to get bulky it takes a tremendous amount of work. The only effective method is lifelong sensible diet and exercise.

Answer 2

Not true at all. The best work out first of all is one that you enjoy and you will stick with. The workout however is just one part, the second part is deciding to eat healthy and eat enough calories to give you energy for daily activity and your workout and not so much taht you have excess calories that are stored as fat.
Here's a good plan figure out what your lean body weight should be, then add a zero to it. Say your lean weight should be 125 lbs, now add a zero. Use this as your base for Basal metobolic rate 1250, now figure out how much energy you will expend for the next two hours and eat accordingly, The best way to loose weight and maintain it is five to seven small meals a day, with the majority of your calories comming from Protien healthy fat and healthy complex carbohydrates limit any one of these to an extreem and you screw up your system.
try to get the larger part of your calories in before your work out by several hours, then your protien carbohydrats after your workout and then complext carbs protien and healthy fats after your post work out recovery meal. It sounds more complex then it is trust me. Pick foods that you like and a work out you'll stick with and make it a life change not a quick fix, and look at it this way time goes by no matter what. You choose to effect a change in your body not the other way around look back in one year and ask did I do what i said i was going to do? Or did i just spectate?

Answer 3

i don't think that's necessarily true. you cant just target one area, cardio is your best bet. Core strengthening exercises are a good way to go as well because the stronger your core muscles are-the more calories your body burns while in rest as well. Good luck! i am also a pear shape :(

Answer 4

If you just want to lose weight a good cardio work-out is good for anyone. Anything like walking, or jogging. I have a walking video, where you walk a mile in 15 minutes, it's really easy.

Answer 5

My husband, Old Cripple, is absolutely right. I've seen him time and time again turn a pear into a peach :)

Answer 6

your physique shape is set via the fat your physique shops. shed the fat, define your muscle tissue and you will see, each and every physique is fairly much the comparable. :) look on the wellness fashions, they are each and all of the comparable ;) all of them low in physique fat and severe in muscle.
