Female figure: parameters, shortcomings, ideal

A female figure is the most discussed topic in society. Everyone has his own ideas about beauty, his own tastes and preferences, so the arguments about the ideal female figure do not subside. So, what types of a female body generally exist and is it possible to name at least one of these modifications ideal?

"An Apple"

Most often the figure of a woman is subjected to classification by the type of ratio of the volume of the shoulder girdle, waist and hips. This classification is convenient in that it helps women to determine their type and, in accordance with it, choose a suitable wardrobe, as well as a set of exercises that help to "work out" problem areas.

So, the first type of figure is the type "O", or "Apple". Why does it have such a strange name? Everything is extremely simple. If these ladies begin to grow stout, their legs remain extremely slender, but the middle part of the trunk gradually increases. And the hands do not "suffer" in this case, but the waist and the lower abdomen acquire outstanding shapes. In the end, if you draw an analogy, the figure looks like an apple on thin legs.

Among the stars, the most famous owner of such a figure is Jessica Simpson. While the singer remained slender, it was difficult to suspect that she refers to female "apples", but when Simpson became ripe, the features of her figure became obvious. Alla Pugacheva has such a figure on the Russian stage.

How to disguise their shortcomings in this case? First, you need to give up any tight clothes and large prints. Skirts and trousers should be slightly flared downwards. Blouses do not need to choose baggy, but tight too will not work - it's better to choose the models of free cut.

"Pear"

Features of the female figure, "pear" are such that the naked eye of a woman can be seen with the naked eye. Her shoulders are rather narrow, so the hips stand out even more. But the obvious advantage of these ladies is a slender waist, which is visible, even if the lady is overweight.

Of the celebrities, the most obvious possessor of such a figure is Jennifer Lopez. Stories about her "fifth point" are still walking on the Internet, in particular, bikes about the fact that she even insured the well-known part of the body. Well, we need to pay tribute to Jen: she did not lose her head and turned her flaw into an advantage. Actress and singer sometimes chooses unsuccessful dresses, and the features of her figure are conspicuous. But sometimes she, of course, can learn to dress. For example, the favorite thing in the wardrobe of the actress are flared classic trousers and tight T-shirts. There is some common sense in this, since Lopez masks too "outstanding" hips, but emphasizes the elegant waistline.

"Pears" should not clutter up your closet with baggy clothes that will hide their indisputable dignity - a thin waist. If there is excess weight and the hips are too wide, then also tight fitting leggings and mini skirts.

"Hourglass"

Everyone remembers the beaten standard "90-60-90". These parameters are in most cases suitable for ladies "hourglasses". A big advantage for these types of figures is that the width of the shoulders is equal to the width of the hips, and when the excess weight appears, it is evenly distributed among all parts of the body. For such ladies, there are almost no restrictions in choosing clothes.

Curiously, there are a lot of sex symbols among women with such parameters. Suffice it to recall Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren and Jean Lolobrigida. All these actresses possessed the classic figure "Hourglass". At the same time, they could afford to have a droplet of excess weight, since this did not show up in their proportions, but made even more appetizing.

It's no wonder that among the celebrities there are so many ladies with the figure "hourglass". For the actress, singer, model, it is important how she looks. It is also important to have universal parameters to allow yourself to wear any stage costumes. A woman "apple" or a woman "pear" is difficult to bring her proportions into harmony, while "hourglasses" do not even need to strain too much.

"Banana"

A wide female figure, devoid of attractive curves, in which the volume of shoulders, waist and hips are almost equal, is called "Banana" or "Rectangle". The representatives of the fair sex with a similar figure, as a rule, a very small bust, but in general their body looks like a boy's.

These ladies should be afraid of excess weight, because he is able to turn their figure into a little attractive banana. But if you keep yourself in shape and choose the right clothes, there is a chance to get visually closer to the standards of the hourglass figure.

In Hollywood, such parameters are known actresses Mila Jovovich, star of "Pirates of the Caribbean" Keira Knightley, as well as scandalist Lindsay Lohan. You can also say that a rectangular figure in Cameron Diaz and Nicole Kidman.

The main thing for the owner of such a figure is to try to give her feminine twists. Remarkably on this girl will be flared flared dresses, swimsuits with a skirt, blouses with a V-neck. In general, the problems with the wardrobe of these ladies do not, because on them, like on models, any clothes sits wonderfully.

Critically complete figure

The parameters of the female figure, like the male body, can undergo another classification, which is important from the point of view of health, control of one's own weight and correction of the way of life. This classification is based on the measurement of one parameter - the percentage of fat in the body.

And "fat is fat strife." There is a "useful" fat - visceral, which supports the internal organs in the right position, and there is an "extra" fat that is stored in a person's reserve, does not play a particularly useful role, but causes a lot of problems. And it's not even in the proportions of the figure, but in the fact that the muscles, bones, blood vessels, heart get a double load, dragging along with all this good.

Determine your belonging to a particular type of figure can be measured by a number of anthropometric characteristics: the amount of visceral fat, bone mass, muscle mass and, in fact, "extra" fat.

The process of "obesity" began in humans, if its percentage of "spare" fat is close to a mark of 40%. And for young people this mark is slightly lower - 39%, for people 40 years - 40%, and at 60 obesity begins, if the indicator exceeded 42%.

40% fat is the SOS signal. This means that a person is critically full figure and he should start losing weight immediately.

Full female figure

If a person has a fatty layer of 33 to 39% of the total body weight, then we can safely say that it is full. For people aged 40 years, this indicator varies from 34 to 40%, and in the elderly - from 36 to 42%.

Is it good to be fat? For health, this is not entirely acceptable. However, if critically complete people have never been in the "trend", then the full female figures were flaunted on the canvases of Rubens and Rembrandt. It was the ideal of the Renaissance.

As for the realities of today, the full ladies have a hard time looking at actresses, singers and girls from the covers of magazines. But the same celebrities sometimes show that they also want to be in the place of the usual "pampushka": everyone remembers the stories when the cache lovers, like Christina Aguilera, Kim Kardashian, Bjonce, Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears turned into fat in half a year Ladies who, perhaps, were close to the first stage of obesity.

It can not be said that this woman ceased to be beautiful. They retained their beauty. Artists explained their decision to gain weight by the fact that they were tired of diets, they want to eat everything that they want, and love themselves as they are. Such zeal is commendable. But under the pressure of the public, sooner or later each of them again sat down on a diet, went to the gym and appeared in public such as it is customary to appear in our time.

A slim body

A slender figure is one of the most common figures in the modern world. Young people under 39 years old can consider themselves slim if their fat layer varies from 28 to 33% of the mass of the total body weight. A slender figure for those who are "over forty" is possible within 30-34% of fat, and for the elderly in the range of 33-36%.

Slender figures visually look juicy, but there are no special folds on the body. Similar parameters were popular in the movies of the 50-60's. Sex symbols Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren, Gina Lolobrigida looked exactly like that. Brained or muscular women were not in honor.

In our time, the priorities have shifted a little, but there are still stars with similar figures: for example, everyone knows Monica Bellucci. The actress has never been thin, but at the same time she is not full of it either. Jennifer Lopez throughout her career had a "juicy" form. Secular diva Kim Kardashian does not differ in model parameters, but attracts the eyes of the admiring audience.

Controlling your type of figure is not so difficult. Previously, you could find out your anthropometric characteristics only in the fitness center. Today you can buy special scales home and for a couple of seconds to find out what percentage of "excess" fat is in the body.

Muscular figure, or "Fitness"

The figure of a woman today is considered ideal if it contains no more than 28% and not less than 24% fat. What does this ratio give? This is the balance when the body does not lose "juiciness", but at the same time begin to show through the muscles (which must first be pumped up).

Fitness figures are the figures of most modern stars. In the 21st century, as once in ancient Rome, once again, muscled, taut bodies, both in men and in women, are revered. On a normal diet, it is difficult for a woman to achieve the relief of contours and the necessary amount of fat. To do this, you need to switch to a special balanced diet, in which there will be less carbohydrates, but more protein.

The biggest fan of fitness in Hollywood is Madonna. In the 80's, her body was a classic type of "fitness". Over the years, as a result of long training, the figure approached more towards athletic parameters. And the form of the singer does not lose until now, although she is already 57 years old.

The body of Halle Berry, Alice Milano and Jennifer Aniston, who after parting with Brad Pitt became a regular visitor of gyms, looks muscular enough.

Athletic

A female figure, which contains 20 to 24% fat, can be considered athletic, if its owner has well pumped muscles. There is not enough yoga or ordinary fitness, heavy artillery will be required here.

Athletic figure requires a lot of attention and long hours of training. Typically, this type of body goes to professional athletes. A separate category is women bodybuilders who spend hours in gyms to build muscle mass.

A sporting female figure is a rare phenomenon. To get such a body, you need to subordinate this to your whole life. It is unlikely that among the actresses or singers there is a woman with such parameters. Although Madonna in some periods of her life was quite like an athletic lady. For this the singer has been repeatedly criticized by the female audience. Fans and antiphanies complained that Madonna looks like a man.

Thin

Thin is a figure whose fat layer level fell below 20%. The shortcomings of the female figure, which is not equipped with the right amount of fat, are obvious: female seductive forms are lost, the general appearance of such a girl looks a little painful, bones on the body and veins on the hands begin to strongly protrude .

The appearance of lean girls is a bit painful, because in part this is so. For example, they often suffer from low blood pressure, muscle atrophy, gland failure. All these symptoms are logical.

To bring their fat indicators to this level can only severely limit themselves to food. And even if this food is of excellent quality, its consumed volume will be too small to provide the whole body with the necessary energy. As a result, the body begins to give alarm signals in the form of weakness and dizziness. Most of these girls have problems with conceiving and bearing a child. The most terrible outcome occurs when the fat level falls below the permissible limits. Then death can come from exhaustion.

Anorexic girls became popular in the 90's. Then on the catwalks, pretty often girls paced, deprived of any sexual signs, thin and flat. It was convenient for fashion designers who could put any thing on this model, like a hanger, but it was a real tragedy for ordinary women: many plagued themselves with diets, but could not achieve such painful leanness.

By the 2000s, the admiration for the extralegal models was extinguished. However, even to this day, diets are the most discussed topic among ladies.

Where is the ideal?

The ideal of the female figure in the concept of society has changed throughout the history of mankind. Sometimes the whims of fashion were so ridiculous (for example, the need to remove the lower ribs), which can only be a miracle.

Of course, every woman should understand that adjusting herself to the parameters "90-60-90" is wrong. Each organism is individual. For some women it is physically impossible to get a waist of 60 cm, even if they sit on the toughest diet until the end of the day.

The correct female figure is the figure with which the girl is comfortable to live. The correct weight is the weight with which a woman feels healthy and mobile, does not suffer from shortness of breath or cardiovascular diseases. The beauty of a female figure depends on the proportions, but you can visually adjust them according to your own eyes.

If you still touch the trends of recent years, then the ladies with the type of figure "pear" become the favorites of the public. Today, wide hips are bragging, but not shyly hiding them. What are the only examples of Bjonce, Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Nikki Minah and many others. Also, it is not customary to be excessively thin, for which not only the models are blamed, but also the stars, who brought themselves to a painful thinness (in particular, Angelina Jolie and Keira Knightley).

It is unacceptable that the skin is covered with a cellulite crust. As a rule, even under impressive forms hidden pumped muscles, which is noticeable during the speeches of some large-sized stars. In a word, nobody canceled fitness! And of course, the bust should be no less than the first size. And if the nature of the volume in this part of the body has deprived, the stars do not hesitate to contact plastic surgeons.
