Oh, what a bliss, to know
that I am perfect
to know that I am the ideal!

You made a firm decision to lose weight, measured all your circumferences, weighed yourself, and now, the question arose before you: “What is it striving for? What are the ideal body parameters? " And even if you are satisfied with your body, the weight suits you, it is still interesting to compare yourself with certain ideals, to find out how close you are to them.

And here it suddenly turns out that there are many ideals of beauty that are radically different from each other. The beauty concepts of an Asian are very different from the needs of a European. Moreover, the ideals of beauty change over time. Remember the famous statues of antiquity, paintings by Rubens, sports parades of the times of the USSR. Isn't it true that these people are on modern look somewhat fat? On the other hand, the iconic model of the 60s, Twiggy, and modern female models, seem to be too thin. And the parameters of the Barbie doll, if made in life size would be 95-34-85. Can you imagine? Waist 34 cm?

How to take measurements?

Several simple rules will help you figure out how and where to measure yourself correctly:

• take measurements soft measuring tape - this will allow you to measure all the circles with millimeter precision. It is important that all measurements are made with one, only your, tape. Mark the tip of the tape with a marker on the side to be measured. Why is it important? Centimeter tapes are a fairly cheap thing, manufacturers can "tinker" a little while making it. It happens that the markings from different ends of the tape are applied unevenly, so 30 cm on one side will not always be equal to 30 cm on the other. Measure your tape periodically with a ruler, as it can stretch or shrink over time. Keep the tape rolled up as it is less likely to deform.
• Everything take measurements on "cold" muscles , preferably at the same time of day. Always measure one place, at the widest part. The measuring tape should be located strictly perpendicular to the main bone, and not obliquely.
• Don't measure yourself every day. Optimal measurement once a week .
• Do for yourself "Selfie" once a month to see your body shape changes.
• Keep a diary, carefully record your data - this will help you to visually monitor your progress.

In ancient Greece, it was considered as follows:

In distant antiquity, the famous ancient philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras deduced the rule of the "Golden Section". This rule was applied by ancient scientists in many fields of knowledge, including anatomy.

According to this rule, the parameters of an ideal figure, regardless of a person's gender, should be related to each other as follows:

• the circumference of the neck is twice the circumference of the wrist;
• the circumference of the waist is twice the circumference of the neck;
• the length of the foot and the length of the forearm are the same (measure the forearm from the ulna to the wrist with a measuring tape, compare with the length of your foot, you will be surprised!);
• shoulder width is equal to 1/4 of the height.

What are the ideal body proportions of contemporaries?

And what are the parameters of a healthy ideal in modern science? To calculate exactly your ideal body values, you need to rely on three indicators: height, age, wrist volume. None of these metrics are weight-dependent. Fat does not accumulate on the wrists. Practically, by measuring it, we are measuring the bone. This is a very important parameter that will answer the question: what is your body type - light, medium or heavy.

• Light type (thin-boned figure) - a woman's wrist is less 14.5 cm, the man has less 18 cm;
• Medium type (normal figure) - a woman's wrist from 15 cm to 18 cm, for a man from 18 to 20 cm;
• Severe type (broad-boned figure) - a woman's wrist from 18.5cm to 20.5cm, the man has more 20 cm.

Your ideal weight

There are many ways and formulas for calculating your ideal weight. The most accurate calculation is based not only on growth rates, but also on the type of figure, age is taken into account. All methods for calculating the ideal weight, their advantages and disadvantages, as well as examples, see the article Ideal weight.

The ideal female figure, from the point of view of science

1. Ideal female proportions, relevant today:

Back at the end of the 19th century, the Russian doctor, trainer, sports promoter Alexander Konstantinovich Anokhin developed proportional body standards for women. According to them, all parameters of an ideal body are calculated based on a woman's height. Based on these guidelines, you can easily find out your ideal proportions:

Nature does not endow all of us with perfect figures, but with the help easy exercises at home or in the gym, there is always the opportunity to achieve the ideal.

2. High and firm breasts!

Ideal parameters female breast quite a controversial issue. There are connoisseurs of both large and small breasts. We will be interested in exactly the healthy answer to this question, based on the woman's age and body type:

Unfortunately, breast size is only corrected downward when losing weight. Give this seductive part female body attractiveness will help timely skin care.

3.Where are we going to make the waist?

The pride of every slender woman has always been and will be a thin, or as they say otherwise, wasp, waist. In the vastness of the Internet, the following calculation of the waist volume was found, it is up to you, but I believe that "According to Anokhin" the calculation is more complete (see paragraph 1):

4. Beautiful, slender thighs!

Look at the hip circumference here:

The ideal body of a man, from the point of view of science

Unlike the female canons of beauty, the ideal male figure from the point of view of the ancient Greeks or our contemporaries is practically the same. The main thing in the male body is a proportional physique, and it is great to correct nature in the gym, if there is a desire. The proportional physique of a man (based on the formulas of McCallum, an American bodybuilder and author of books on bodybuilding) is:

1. The chest volume consists of 6.5 wrist volumes
2. The volume of the hips is 85% of the volume of the chest
3. 34% of the breast volume is the volume of the lower leg
4. The waist should be 70% of the bust
5. Biceps - 36% of the chest
6. Hips - 53%
7. Forearms are 29% of the chest volume
8. Neck - 37%.

If you carefully compare these parameters with the ancient Greek ones, you can trace the same “golden section” formula.

Another American bodybuilder Joe Weider developed a system of parameters where ideal male proportions calculated based on the ratio of weight (kg) to height (cm). Weight is taken not actual, but ideal, the calculation of which was mentioned above. Helping you achieve your ideal weight

For a very long time, the inhabitants of the planet have been trying to find out what they are - the ideal proportions of the female body? And, probably, everyone knows that the famous 90-60-90 is not at all ideal. female figure... So what parameters should a female figure correspond to?

Ideal proportions of the female body

Have you ever wondered - what are the ideal proportions of the female body? To be honest, I did not ask this question. It is obvious to me that at any age and height, their indicators of weight, waist, and so on. But recently, at one webinar, a woman shared a way to find out the ideal body parameters based on her height. I shared it at the end of the article.

And now ... We run after the measuring tape and weights, because now you will find out the ideal proportions of the female body!

1. Found the ideal weight formula!

Ideal weight is a very relative concept, since there are no single canons of beauty. And weight is not the main indicator of a flawless physique. But nevertheless, we do not stop getting on the scales again and again.

There are various formulas for determining the ideal weight. For some time they used the ratio of weight and height and Broca's formula for weight: "Ideal weight is equal to height in centimeters in 100 minutes." However, it is now believed that this formula is designed for women 40-50 years old. The optimal weight for women 20-30 years old should be reduced by 10-12%, after 50 years - increased by 5-7%. And today, tables and formulas are more often used, which also introduce an amendment to the physique.
Using the following table, you can quickly and accurately set your ideal weight taking into account height and age.

2. Wasp waist

3. Move your hips!

Again, depending on the physique and age. After all, you cannot put all girls and women under the same brush!

4. It was all in particular. Now let's summarize. And we will find the formulas for the ideal proportions of the female body, trusting the scientists.

1. The waist should be two volumes of the neck.
2. The volume of the neck, in turn, is two wrists.
3. The ratio of waist to hips can be approximately 0.7 (more precisely, from 0.60 to 0.72).

Hips, waist and chest

Normal indicators for girls 18 - 28 years old are:

When the circumference of the chest is half the height plus 2-5 cm;
- for bust - chest circumference plus 8-10 cm;
- the hips are 25-30 cm larger than the waist circumference.

5. An alternative formula for calculating ideal proportions:

This is the formula I learned from a lady's speech. I hope I wrote it down correctly.

We measure our height. To find out your ideal parameters, we multiply it by a factor.

Waist 0.35-0.4

Hips 0.52-0.6

Chest 0.5 - 0.55

Leg (calf) 0.21-0.23

In different eras, different nations the standards of beauty were radically different, this applies not only to women, but also to men. Everyone would like to have an ideal male body. Of course, you can immediately say that in the modern world men are valued high growth, physical strength and dry, well visible through the smallest layer of subcutaneous fat musculature.

However, everything has its limits, it is probably not difficult to imagine a tall guy who was always teased for his height, despite the fact that he was quite athletic, the overall composition plays a role here. Exactly correct proportions create a beautiful silhouette and add a certain unique color to a person's gait.

The path to a perfect body

The path to a well-built body Beginner

To embark on the difficult path of improving your body and putting it in order, you first need to take care of the source material. V in this case, the source material means the weight men. Of course, all tables of the ideal height / weight ratio are very conditional, but there is no point in trying to somehow purposefully: change proportions, having a flabby, loose body or the complete absence of at least some muscle mass, as if it were the body of a teenager. Even reduced to ideal proportions in centimeters, such a body will not look very aesthetically pleasing.

A person who has embarked on the path of regular exercise and proper nutrition

If you have resolved the issue of excess weight or excessive thinness, your best friends should become mirror and sewing centimeter... As for the centimeter, you should regularly monitor how many centimeters in volume make up the key links of your figure. Measurements should be taken early in the morning, when you just woke up, your body is back to normal, rested, and your muscles are relaxed. The only exception may be people who, for one reason or another, suffer from swelling in the morning.

You do not need to tighten the centimeter to pain, but it should not hang either. It also makes no sense (besides having fun) to take measurements after an intense workout, if you are not yet preparing yourself to go to the big bodybuilding stages, where you can hammer your muscles before performing. We will proceed from the assumption that we are all ordinary people and 75% of our time others see us not on the pump.

The mirror will help you to correctly assess the quality of the centimeters being recruited, it will also tell you how well the outgoing centimeters transform you when losing weight. Also, in order to minimize subjective judgments about your own progress, it is recommended to do small photo sessions once a month. Whenever possible, you need to use the same angles and lighting.

For an athlete with experience

The next step already applies to people who have been engaged in some kind of physical activity and work on your body. This step is very difficult, but not physically, but morally.

It is necessary to highlight problematic, not tightened areas of your body, lagging muscle groups and concentrate on working them out. In parallel with this, you need to understand what places in your body nature has made strong and prone to rapid development and completely or almost completely stop working on them.

The difficulty lies in the fact that the man sees that nature has given him powerful leg muscles, prone to rapid growth, and he is experiencing a rush Have a good mood and pleasant emotions, every time they are pumped. It is this pleasure that you need to deprive yourself of, so as not to continue to increase the already overdeveloped areas of your body, increasing disproportion.

Modern beauty standards

• Powerful V-shaped back that forms the entire silhouette.
• Distinct trapeze and shoulders contrasting with the long, slender neck.
• Developed, voluminous chest muscles adjacent to dry, well-visible abdominal muscles.
• Proportionally developed at the top of the legs, not lagging behind in volume, but at the same time, and not distracting all attention to themselves.

Yes, perhaps it is ideal figure men from the movies.

Exact numbers

To create that very V-shaped silhouette, it is believed that the girth of the pelvis and waist should be 10% and 25% less than the chest girth, respectively, and the neck should be only 38% of the chest.

The thigh circumference is equal to 60% of the pelvic circumference. The lower leg, in turn, is only 40% of the pelvic circumference and 60% of the thigh circumference. Another sign of a good build is the equality of the lower leg and tight biceps in volume.

Of course, it is easy and simple to calculate your ideal proportions, but in order to simplify your life and not make mistakes, you can use table ideal proportions, as well as a variety of calculators that will suggest your ideal proportions according to different formulas reflecting different points of view on the male figure.

All you need to use these handy tools is just measuring your height and weight to the nearest centimeter and kilogram and dividing the second value by the first. Thus, you will receive a certain coefficient. For example, with a height of 160 and a weight of 80, this coefficient will be 0.5. But remember: a calculator is not the best solution... The ideal proportion calculator is not always accurate.

Parameters that everyone cares about

Height

Of course, usually this parameter is not particularly worried about an adult, mature person, more often it is of interest to teenage boys. Exactly at early age children want to be as high as possible, there is a logical explanation for this. Whether we are aware of this or not, we consider a tall man stronger, more resilient and more dangerous in a conflict situation. Of course, you shouldn't dwell on your height, mass successful men changed the fate of the whole world, being at the same time small in stature, especially since after 25 years it is not possible to correct your growth.

1. Growth below 170 cm is considered small, we are talking about The Russian Federation, In particular, about the central region. Of course, for different peoples, the average height may differ slightly.
2. Optimal the height of 178-185 cm is considered. It is this growth, on the one hand, is already quite impressive, but on the other hand, with such growth it is not too difficult to keep beautiful proportions.
3. Height above 190 cm is considered very tall. Of course, these guys were all jealous of school years, but if we are talking about building a beautiful proportional figure, then it is they who will have to work hardest to unleash their growth potential, and not turn it into a disfiguring factor. A large amount of muscle mass needs to be built.

Waist

When it comes to health, then norm waist in men - up to 95 centimeters... But if we talk about beauty and aesthetics and about bodybuilding, with a height of 170 cm and the absence of colossal muscle volumes, having a waist of 90 centimeters would be extremely undesirable. There is a rule of thumb: the narrower your waist, the better you will look.

Therefore, you need to be careful not only to overeating, but also to colossal physical exertion and overly fanatical pumping of the press with weights. Even with a wide pelvis, but with a wide chest, a figure in shape hourglass looks good not only for women, but also for men. Popularly referred to as "refrigerators", even quite strong and powerful men with a flat waist equal in size to their chest do not make a special impression from an aesthetic point of view. The proportions of the body in bodybuilding do not differ from the general human.

Age features

The proportions listed above are given for the figure of a man 25-30 years old, which means that a teenage boy (under 20 years old) should take into account everything that was said above, but not be upset if due to normal adolescent imbalances he fails to achieve what he wants.

Hello my dear readers! My next article will be enlightened to the male body, and to be more precise, we will try to figure out if there are ideal proportions male body, and what they are equal to.

We are adults and we understand that the concept of the beauty of the human body in most cases is quite subjective. Here you need to take into account the fact that the requirements for the male and female bodies are fundamentally different.

It is also necessary to take seriously the time range, what was considered a sign of the standard of the male body in the Middle Ages is unlikely to be so in our time. The geographical aspect is also important, it would be naive to believe that Africa and Europe will converge on this issue on one thing. The purpose of my article is not to impose my opinion on you, but to try to comprehensively cover this topic.

History of the issue

The first person seriously interested in the proportions of the human body can be considered the famous ancient philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras. It was this Greek who formulated the rule of the "golden ratio", which could equally be applied to the human body.

If these rules are applied to the human body, then we get the following ideal figure (according to Pythagoras):

• The neck-to-wrist ratio should be 2-1.
• But the waist, in turn, should be twice as large as the neck.
• Equal length of the foot and forearm.
• Shoulder width should be equal to ¼ human height.

Leonardo da Vinci became seriously interested in the next problem of the human figure. The world famous "Vitruvian Man", a painting depicting a naked man, was another attempt to derive a formula for an ideal male body. We have all seen the image of two male bodies imprinted in a circle and a square.

This creation of the famous master was created along with notes that explained the essence of what was happening. It was based on the work of the Roman architect Vitruvius, in which he derived his formula for an ideal body.

In the Middle Ages, to replace the pronounced masculine came a certain grace of the figure. The ideal body features of that time suggested grace and flexibility. If we compare the men of that time with ancient heroes, a certain femininity, the absence of so-called brutality, is striking. If we call this phenomenon in modern language, then metrosexuality would be an appropriate epithet.

Modern realities

The first thing to do in order to determine your own ideal proportions is to find out which one is typical for you. To do this, we rely on three main points: age, height, wrist size.

So, if the volume of your wrist is less than 18 centimeters, you have a thin-boned figure, if this size is in the range from 18 to 20 centimeters - a normal figure, more than 20 centimeters - a broad-boned figure.

Based on this, we come to the following conclusion: there is no definite, rigidly fixed size of the ideal figure. The main thing that you should pay attention to when creating the so-called ideal figure is the observance of the necessary proportions of the body. And now we come to the most important thing, these magic numbers ultimately constitute the necessary proportion of the male body that falls under the definition of ideal proportions:

1. Chest volume should include 6.5 wrist volumes
2. The hips should be equal to 85% of the chest volume
3. The volume of the lower leg is equal to 34% of the volume of the chest
4. The waist is equal to 70% of the chest volume
5. Biceps - 36% of the chest volume
6. The volume of the hips is equal to 53% of the volume of the chest
7. Forearm - 29% of the chest volume

This formula for the proportionality of the male body was developed by the North American athlete and trainer John McCallum. At its core, this is practically the same "golden ratio", albeit in a somewhat complicated form, more suitable for our time.

If we take a purely visual perception of a male figure, then here humanity has been a large number time is largely conservative. For many centuries, athletic men with a characteristic figure have remained in fashion: tall stature, combined with wide shoulders and a narrow pelvis, has invariably left an indelible impression on women at all times and in all countries and continents.

It is also worth drawing your attention to the fact that weight is not a fundamental factor. Even if you reach the optimal weight, but at the same time your figure remains loose, then there can be no question of any ideal proportions. Try to achieve a harmonious combination of all muscle groups, and your figure will begin to delight not only you, but everyone around you with its appearance.

How to make your body perfectly proportional

The first thing to look for when trying to create the perfect body is yours. In this article, I will not dwell in detail on the necessary nutritious diet, the basics of which each of you knows yourself. With the help of a balanced diet, you can remove extra pounds, which will already make your figure more attractive.

The next moment should be the main one on your way to a beautiful figure. These are physical education and sports. Pay close attention to your problem areas. Make up for yourself a set of exercises aimed at correcting the visible imperfections of your figure. Pay special attention to the abdomen, waist, muscles, etc.

Pump it over. The main thing, remember, you are the creator of your own figure, and it depends on you how proportionally your body will look. The ideal proportions of the male body is not a myth, it is a real reality, quite accessible to each of us.

On this I say goodbye to you, my dear readers. Subscribe to blog updates, I look forward to your comments on this and other articles, see you soon!

In the distant 50s, at the peak of popularity wasperfect female figurewith proportions 90-60-90. Merlin Monroe easily fit into them, demonstrating the roundness of her forms. In the 60s and 70s, fashion jumped sharply to skinny ones with flat bellies. Then, until the early 2000s, there was a triumphmodel appearance, with long legs Cindy Crawford and graceful bodyKate Moss. For two decades of XX I centuries pass under the auspices of girls with a sports figure. Slender thighs, chic abs and sculpted arms. Suchbeauty standardstoday. However, not everything depends on exercise and diet. In different countriesideal female proportions differ. In addition, there are generally accepted types of figures and physique in girls.

Body types in a girl

You cannot measure all women under one standard. In addition to internal individuality, the fair sex are distinguished by their physique features. Something lends itself to adjustment with the help of sports, nutrition or plastics. But there are three invariable body types, from which the general proportionality is repelled.

Ectomorph. A girl with this type of physique is fragile and sophisticated. The body fat is minimized. The arms and legs are thin. Wasp waist. Height is high. It is difficult for her to gain muscle mass, since weight gain is not observed due to accelerated metabolic processes. The ectomorph girl shows others her thin wrists and fingers. Often, the hip bones and collarbones bulge out in relief. She can't brag big breasted and firm buttocks. The thin woman is friends with sports and can be distinguished by special endurance, but not in power load. A typical representative of ectomorphs is Keira Knightley.

Mesomorph. Body sizes for this type have perfect ratio... Well-developed leg muscles, rounded hips and broad shoulders are harmonized at the waist. She is not a wasp, but without excess fat. A girl with such proportions looks sporty. With moderate physical exertion, the body is feminine and relief. Freely builds muscle mass, but just as easily can gain a couple of extra pounds. For a mesomorph, it is important not only to exercise regularly, but also to eat right. Halle Berry is a prime example of this physique.

Endomorph. This type includes all girls who have stepped over the mesomorph line in weight and volume. Their metabolism is slow. Fat is actively concentrated on the hips, buttocks, waist and arms. Distinctive feature- expressive bust. Growth is predominantly low. Endomorphs easily gain muscle mass, which is hidden under fat reserves, if you do not include aerobic exercise and dietary restrictions. This category includes not only girls who are clearly overweight. But also those who have an idealized proportion of 90-60-90, with a tummy, extra pounds in the thighs. A typical example among famous people is Merlin Monroe. The actress was not full, but she did not hide her curvaceous forms.

It is impossible to divide all women in the world between the above three types. One hundred percent coincidence in all characteristics is rare. Therefore, there is such a thing as a mixed body type. The girl combines the principles of two prevailing types.

Types of female figures: which one is ideal?

Each girl has a different figure. Some of them are congenital, genetically determined, and the rest depend on the way of life. Female type figures are formed from pronounced characteristics. Based on them, the trainer draws up a training program, and the stylist selects clothes.

Hourglass. This type of figure is graceful. It shows the balance. When a thin waist levels out moderately voluminous hips and bust. The buttocks are rounded and the legs are slender. Fat, if any, is distributed evenly throughout all parts of the body. An hourglass is the ideal parameters for a girl. Most of the fair sex strives to approach them.

V-shape (triangle). The physique with broad shoulders, large breasts, fairly narrow hips and slender legs. When engaging in physical activity, a girl with such characteristics needs to increase the volume of the buttocks. The fat layer loves to gather in the upper abdomen, while the waist is visible, which means that nutrition can correct this deficiency.

Rectangle. A boyish figure without raised curves. Proportions: chest, waist, hips - almost the same. The rectangle girl is gaining weight with great difficulty, since the metabolism is accelerated.

Pear (spoon). With this type of female figure, the emphasis falls on the lower body. The buttocks are massive, the hips are wide, but the shoulders, chest and abdomen look disproportionately small. The pear girl is predominantly short in stature and short legs. Fat is concentrated below the waist.

Photo. Jennifer Lopez: a typical female pear figure

Apple. The most dangerous area for this type of figure is the waist and abdomen. They create a visual association of a girl with an apple. Flat buttocks and narrow thighs add fuel to the fire. Slim legs and an expressive bust improve the situation. Intensive training and major dietary changes can help restore balance to your figure.

Deficiencies in a particular type of figure are covered by correction with the help of physical exercises. For example, girls with a V-shape need intense training for large muscle groups - on the legs. It is important for the "pear" to focus on the upper part of the body. In the "rectangle", nutrition comes first. An intense training regimen will need an "apple." Girls with this type of figure should lean on cardio. In the best position are the "hourglass". Ideal proportions allow them to simply keep fit and enjoy the process.

Ideal parameters and standards

The world has been fighting for a long time to find a formula for the ideal proportions of a female body. This includes more than just a visual representation of body types and physique. You can't go anywhere from the basic parameters: weight, height, volume and length of legs.

1. Ideal weight. A difficult topic for many girls. Someone wants to get rid of those extra pounds. Someone seeks to get the missing ones. The question arises: is there an ideal standard for female body weight and how to determine your comfortable weight? There is definitely no single norm. However, there are boundaries that cannot be crossed in order to stay in shape. The indicators for each girl are individual. To determine the ideal body weight, the following methods and tools come to the rescue.

Case mass index according to the Quetelet formula. In order to calculate your personal body mass index, you need to know your current weight and height. The result is compared with tabular indicators. The state of health of the girl is determined and a recommendation on what to do - to increase or decrease body weight. And it is possible not to change anything, since the weight is ideal.

With clear characteristics: underweight, optimal, excess weight, obesity, severe obesity.

Table of dependence of the age of the girl on the type of physique. In this case, the age category is considered from 15 to 40 years. Body types: thin-boned, normosseous and broad-boned.

2. Perfect growth and the length of the legs. If a person can adjust his weight throughout his life, then he will have to put up with growth. There are general standards:

Short girls- do not go beyond the boundaries 150 cm;
- below average - from 151 to 156 cm;
- with an average - from 157 to 167 cm;
- tall ladies - from 168 to 175 cm;
- very high - above 176 cm.

The ideal length of the legs depends on the growth of the body. Girls are considered short-legged if their legs are less than half their height. If it is greater than or approximately equal, then the figure is balanced. Maintaining proportions affects the visual perception of a girl. In addition, this parameter is taken into account in models. There is nothing to do without long legs on the podium. To complete the characterization of the lower limbs, scientists have derived the formula for ideal legs in three gaps: in the ankles, under the knees and between the thighs at the top. They can be seen simply by putting the legs together. There should be no other "holes", only then the girl's legs are perfect.

3. Ideal volume of chest, waist and hips. The body parts must be in proportion. The most expressive female forms have always been: bust, waist and hips. It is not about the exact standard 90-60-90. Everything is much more delicate. A truly thin waist should make up a maximum of 70% of your hips. Each girl has an individual result. Since the body types are different for everyone.

The ideal proportions of the girl's body are not the ones that men came up with in a fit of their violent fantasies. This is the daily work and love of the lady herself. Beautiful female figures are born from jewelry work: sports, nutrition, inner harmony and the right clothes. This is the key to success.

Ideal figure in different countries

The ideal parameters of a girl are different in every corner of the planet. There is no clear standard for what a woman should be. In Spain, Japan or California - everywhere there is a representation of the proportions of beauty.

Europe. Most European girls have a slender figure. Spaniards are sports. Italians are graceful and with a thin waist, despite the delights in food. Slavic girls recognized as thin on the world “council.” Ladies from the Netherlands boast long legs.

Asia. Fragile with short stature, this is how people around them see Chinese women. In Israel, they do not attach particular importance to the figure of girls; attention is directed to the facial features. In Vietnam, women are sophisticated, with a thin neck.

America. Despite the massive obesity problem, most girls in the United States dream of ideal hourglass proportions. Whoever managed to achieve a thin waist is the Mexican women. In Peru, women became famous for their wide hips and a magnificent bust.

Africa. On the continent, the representatives of the African race have very slender bodies. They are the envy of Europeans who are on diets and American women whose standards are far from ideal. In Africa, women know a sense of proportion and balance. They eat little and are constantly on the move.

How beauty standards have changed over the years

Over the past century, there have been significant changes in the world of ideal standards for female figures. The proportions changed every ten years. The thighs were wide and narrow. The waist was pulled in, the stomach added a couple of extra pounds. The bust now and then changed its size depending on the fashion. And only long legs have always been appreciated by true admirers of female beauty.

At the beginning of the last century, there were girls in corsets. Their thinnest waist is still considered an unattainable luxury. However, literally ten years later, everything changed dramatically. A boyish figure, without a lush bust and a graceful waist, is becoming a trend. For a long time, men could not tolerate such beauty standards and protested. In the 30s, femininity returned again with rounded shapes. Ten years later, a woman takes on her home, family, work, which means she changes her harmony on broad shoulders, on which she drags all this load.

In the 50s, the world was rocked by the sexual forms of famous actresses. They were followed abruptly by a decline and a transition to blatant thinness. During that period, diets became fashionable. Since the beginning of the 70s, a woman's tummy should have a normal percentage of fat, and preferably without it at all. After another 10 years, the fashion models introduced lean standards, with long legs. The 90s became famous for painful thinness. But that time has passed. The protruding ribs are replaced by slender legs, abs cubes, or just flat tummies and firm buttocks.

conclusions... The concept of the ideal figure of a girl changes depending on the continent, time and outlook on life. There are a lot of existing proportions and ratios. The feminine forms cannot be put into a general formula. Each girl is individual, which means that her parameters are only subtly adjusted to the general standards of female beauty.
