The hourglass figure has been coveted among women for many years. The idea is to have a small, narrow waist in contrast to broader hips and shoulders, thus mimicking the shape of an hourglass. Hollywood celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe and many others have popularized this trend. If you are wondering how to get an hourglass figure, here is what you need to know.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Bodies come in a variety of shapes, which means that your hourglass shape isn\u2019t going to look exactly like a celebrity figure. For instance, your natural waist may be longer, or your hips may be naturally narrow. While not everyone can get an hourglass figure as advertised by photoshopped celebrity photos, it is possible to achieve your own version of the hourglass body through a healthy diet and exercise.<\/p>\n
Some women get an hourglass figure. They naturally have wider ribs and hips, leaving a small waist. If you have a naturally thin or curvy body, it may be more challenging to either put on or lose weight in the right places. Following a healthy routine ensures that you stay healthy, and it\u2019s important to be able to appreciate your own beauty<\/a> with or without an hourglass figure.<\/p>\n Clothing has been used for centuries to help women achieve the desired <\/span>shape<\/span>. Accentuating a narrow waist can be done with belts, or by accentuating the hips. In a pinch, you can also use a corset or combine a waist cincher with a good pushup bra to help accentuate your waist.<\/span><\/p>\n All of the exercises in the world are not going to help you get an hourglass figure if you don’t follow a healthy diet. This does not mean jumping onto the latest fad diet only to crash several weeks later. Instead, your goals should be to develop lasting, functional dietary habits<\/a> wherein you are getting plenty of nutrients without consuming too many calories.<\/p>\n The trick to a sustainable and healthy diet is finding foods that you enjoy consuming that are also healthy, while remembering not to completely deny yourself treats. Of course, it is easier said than done because it is much easier to overindulge in something unhealthy or to skip a meal thanks to our busy schedules and overeat afterward. In this case, perseverance, and the willingness to overcome slips without being too hard on yourself, is key.<\/p>\n As with diet, a good hourglass figure workout is going to allow you to stay consistent, which means that you don\u2019t want to start with something too difficult, too time-consuming, or too daunting. It\u2019s better to craft an hourglass workout that allows you to build over time rather than to dive into a plan that is simply unrealistic for the long term.<\/p>\n <\/b>The contour of the hourglass-shaped body relies on a strong back, tight tummy, and large hips. If you\u2019re asking how to get a small waist and big hips, check out some of the exercises in the next section.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/b>No matter your desired shape, cardiovascular exercise<\/a> is going to help you stay lean and healthy. Just <\/span>fiftee<\/span>n minutes<\/span><\/a> of exercise can play a role in improving overall health.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/b>If you have an old injury, make sure that you are not choosing exercises that are putting on too much pressure too soon. For individuals trying to recover from breaks, sprains, or other injuries, a consultation with a physical therapist may be recommended before beginning new exercises. If you cannot consult with a physical therapist, it is recommended that you at least start slowly to ensure that you don’t exacerbate an old injury.<\/span><\/p>\nClothing<\/b><\/h2>\n
