in its best proportion when the largest part of the bust and the
largest part of the hips measure the same. Diet and exercise Beyond

can normalize weight quite rapidly while you are young and will
establish healthful patterns for the remainder of your life.

beautiful body, but for supporting the skeletal bones in a correct

easily, pick up heavier weights.

make sure you are reaching your goals. Mix it up- once you have
started cardio and strength training, add other activities. Yoga
