Workouts

Rectangle body shapes have similar sized body proportions so introducing exercises and cardio that will help shape the upper and lower body can help create contrast and shape. By targeting the upper and lower body with strength training exercises, volume may be added through muscle development, creating more contrast with the waist.

• Squats and lunges: Squats and lunges are a must-do exercise when trying to shape or add volume to the lower body. These exercises especially target the glutes, thighs and the butt area.
• Deadlifts: A full body exercise that can help add muscle to the glutes and thigh area.
• Pull-ups or Pushups: By targeting your upper body you can help define your collarbone and chest which can help give the impression of a wider upper body, adding more contrast to your natural straight lines.
• Ab exercises: Keeping your core strong is important; it helps improve posture balance and aids injury prevention. Think planks, bicycle crunches, and any exercises that engage the core.
• Cardio: Cardio is a great way to stay healthy. Low intensity cardio can be utilized or, if trying high intensity interval training (HIIT), try including exercises that will help shape your lower or upper body at the same time as walking lunges, and step-ups.
• Yoga and Pilates: Just like core exercises, yoga and Pilates help improve posture and balance. Yoga and Pilates exercises help to build long, lean bodies, bringing out the Rectangle’s natural grace and elegance.

History of the Rectangle Body Shape

During the 1920’s, a straight-lined figure was highly fashionable in western countries during a period sometimes referred to as the “androgynous” or “flapper” era.

Androgynous means a person with both masculine and feminine characteristics while flapper was the description, at the time, for women, predominantly in the USA and Europe, who went against the norm. Flappers wore knee length skirts, straight cut dresses and loose-fitting clothes that downplayed their natural female curves and minimized their busts and hips.

The 1920’s presented a major contrast to the previous era’s curvy, waist-defining, hourglass like figures. Woman also started wearing trousers more prominently during this time, which further cemented the androgynous look or rectangular body shape. This was a period when women’s independence and freedom of expression rose to prominence, challenging the status quo and conventional norms.

Later, during the 1990’s, the era of the supermodel surged, and the rectangular body shape dominated fashion and high fashion runways. Models like Kate Moss brought the androgynous look back to mainstream fashion and media. Designers also recognized that clothes draped smoothly over the more rectangular shaped models, further fueling the popularity of fashion models with this shape in 1990’s and 2000’s.

From the start of the current century the fashion industry has celebrated a wider range of body shapes, with the noticeable exclusion of plus-sized figures, although this is now changing and models of all sizes are regularly seen.

The Rectangle has remained in favor, particularly in the fashion industry, but with an increased emphasis on looking toned.
