The apple

People with the apple body shape have a larger upper torso (chest and stomach), with smaller arms and legs. If you have a thick waist, full breasts/ chest and wide torso and upper back, then you definitely have an apple-shaped body. The shape is predominantly found in males, although women are more prone to develop an apple shape in mid-life.

Exercise

People with an apple-shaped body should focus on aerobic training in order to slim down and lose body fat. Running/ jogging, stair-climbing, steppers and other high-intensity cardio exercises are optimal to lose weight all over, while still building some muscle tone on the legs. Some more exercises that you can include for your lower body are pilates, squats and twisting. You also need to build your upper back muscles using cable exercises and a rowing machine to support a large chest.
