The X Factor

I am super stoked to announce that I finally received my Shape Training book, previously I was sharing my workout partner's and now I can fully immerse myself in all it's glory to be had! lol



So today let's talk about the X Frame: Nearly Perfect, but Always Room for Improvement.



If you already have an X Frame, lucky you! Your figure approaches the classic hourglass shape, with the upper body and lower body in equal proportion, tied together by a small waistline. Other factors that contribute to an X frame are arms with balanced development, a bust line just right for your size and legs that flow aesthetically from the hips to the knees. But even X frames have room for improvement. Why? Because NO ONE IS PERFECT ♥
