Figure Fitness Guide - 40 Tips for Diet, Exercise and Poise
1.
2. Your figure
As quick assessment, remember that a
figure is in its best proportion when the
largest part of the bust and the largest
part of the hips measure the same.
Diet and exercise
Beyond perfect posture and the use of illusion are
figure flaws, and they must be addressed from
within. A proper diet and adequate exercise can
normalize weight quite rapidly while you are young
and will establish healthful patterns for the
remainder of your life.
3. Beauty of Exercise
Muscles are not only necessary for a beautiful
body, but for supporting the skeletal bones in a
correct posture. To achieve those goals, both
strengthening and stretching exercises are
necessary.
Visual poise
Proper carriage is a result of practice. It is
important to close your eyes and imagine your
body in its newly defined posture and movement
patterns.
4. Grace
Grace is a quality every woman wants. It
combines confidence with unself-consciousness.
It is a quality that appears more often as a girl
matures into young womanhood.
Stand tall
The head leads the body in all natural movements.
To achieve good posture you must first discover
your bad habits and reprogram your brain to
become alert to the body’s correct positioning.
5. Fitness
The most effective ways to sculp,
strengthen and tone:
Hire a trainer- a trainer can access
your goals and customize your workouts.
Combine cardio and weights-
weight-training builds muscle and
elevates the metabolic rate, so you will
burn more “kilojoules” while your body is
at rest.
6. Exercise in the morning- otherwise, you
leave room for excuses, fatigue and
scheduling conflicts.
Do it with a friend- having friends join
your exercise program will help maintain
motivation on cold mornings, and also
spreads the cost of a personal trainer.
Push yourself- once you can do 12 to 15
reps easily, pick up heavier weights.
7. Follow through- meet with your trainer
every three months to make sure you are
reaching your goals.
Mix it up- once you have started cardio and
strength training, add other activities.
Yoga and pilates can give you sleek,
elongated physique.
Be consistent- regular daily exercise will
keep your body in shape and reduce stress
levels.
Get sweaty- for naturally glowing skin you
need to work your heart and get your blood
pumping.

the back of one leg against the seat. This
serves as your guide to the position of the
chair.

facing the front of the car. Resting your hand
on the door handle or window, bend your knee as

rest of your body into the seat. Pull in your
other foot and move back into the seat.

back straight and excel and bend your knees to
