Best Exercises For Apple Shapes

Apple shaped women have a heavier upper body, carry more weight around the waistline and have a smaller lower body. This workout aims to slim down the upper body & core, and to increase lean muscles in the legs & butt to balance your body out.

 

This seven-minute workout is especially designed for Apple shapes to help you drop inches. This workout combines cardio as well as toning to lose excess body fat around the waist which is an area where an apple shape will hold weight.

Apples may be prone to having high blood sugar — which can be a precursor to diabetes and heart disease — so they need to watch their carb intake. Apples need a diet of about 40 percent carbs, roughly 600 calories, for a woman eating 1,500 daily.

Look for fibre-rich, complex carbs, like beans, fruits, veggies, and whole grains.

Fibre slows the digestion of sugar and lowers insulin and cholesterol levels.

Working out is also crucial because it can rev up your metabolism and increase your calorie burn. To get rid of any extra inches around your middle, three 40-minute cardio sessions a week — running, biking,
or swimming, will help build lean muscles in your lower body and balance the top half.
