Body Shape Tools

Body Shape Tools help you determine your body type and assess body proportions, including waist, hip, and shoulder measurements. Understanding your body shape can help guide fitness planning, health assessments, and clothing choices, as different body types have different health risks and training strategies. These tools are suitable for men and women of all ages and provide a simple way to understand your body composition visually and quantitatively.

Your Body Shape:

How Body Shape Is Analyzed

Body Shape Tools use waist, hip, and shoulder measurements to classify body types into Apple, Pear, Rectangle, or Hourglass categories. These ratios help assess fat distribution and potential health risks.

Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR) Calculation:

WHR = Waist circumference ÷ Hip circumference

Interpretation: WHR > 0.9 (men) or > 0.85 (women) indicates higher abdominal fat risk; lower values indicate lower risk.

How to Use Body Shape Tools

1. Measure your waist, hips, and shoulders.

2. Select your gender.

3. Enter your measurements into the tool.

4. Click "Analyze".

5. View your body shape category, WHR, and health insights.
