The volumes of the chest, waist, and hips are one of the main criteria currently used to determine beauty standards. The considered body parameters 90-60-90 are considered the standard for models, actresses, and singers. Teenage girls and young girls often strive to measure their volumes, adjusting them to the above figures, considering them the standard of beauty, femininity and attractiveness.
Girls who are initially born with a proportional figure may have such “ideal” parameters. A thin waist, feminine breasts and hips make a woman attractive and confident.
Parameter meaning
The criteria for female beauty have been different over the centuries. The figures of girls, which were previously considered ideal, are now out of fashion, one might even say outdated.
The ideal parameters 90-60-90 (meaning the volume of the chest, waist and hips) appeared at the end of the 20th century, when fashion models were considered the standard of female beauty. This was during the emergence of top models.
“Ideal” parameters were invented for the convenience of workers in the fashion industry and television. When developing clothes, it is easier for designers to come up with a certain standard according to which it will be convenient to sew things. Thus, the cost of production will decrease and the profits of the creators will increase. It was much more convenient and profitable for them to hire women with the same type of figure and height.
These standards came into fashion during the active development of television and filming. As you know, people look fuller on video than in reality. To avoid an unpleasant effect, they began to use thin people to record advertisements, clips, and individual films. On the screen, people looked attractive, although in reality they were thin and even scrawny. It seemed to the audience that they were seeing people with “ideal” body parameters.
When to expect an effect
Provided the correct approach to building a training system, as well as adherence to the principles of proper nutrition, a girl will be able to get closer to her ideal shape in 3-5 months (relevant if the initial weight does not go beyond the acceptable limits, taking into account the height and age of a particular person).
This period is considered the most comfortable for the body getting rid of excess fat: it does not experience stress, and the girl herself feels psychologically balanced and calm. A transformation that occurs in a shorter period of time can seriously undermine the athlete’s health, as well as a loss of interest on her part in leading a healthy lifestyle.
An ideal figure, despite the subjective perception of this term by every girl, requires enormous work on oneself and willpower training.
To ensure that the transformation process does not harm the woman’s health, specialists (fitness trainer and nutritionist) must draw up a training program and also outline the diet for her.
If it is not possible to use the services of a professional, you should organize the process of obtaining the desired form taking into account the above information.
Men's opinions about ideal parameters
Female figures and proportions are a topic of discussion for both the fairer sex and men. Tastes are different, therefore opinions among the male population are also different.
As you know, beauty criteria have changed from era to era, but if we talk about today, men are often attracted to women with an hourglass figure. Medium-sized breasts, feminine rounded hips and a thin waist are considered classic beauty parameters. Men often say that they like proportional figures.
Now there are several criteria by which a girl’s body type is determined:
- An hourglass body shape refers to a guitar-shaped figure where your waist size is less than 70% of your hip size.
- Sexy curves. We are talking about a feminine (not skinny) figure with smooth lines. From a men's point of view, size is not as important as having elegant curves. This criterion assumes that men pay attention to healthy women with optimal weight.
- Long legs. Beautiful legs attract the eye so much that other parts of the body often fade into the background.
- Athletic build. Most men pay attention to slender girls, but the concept of “athletic figure” is not necessarily associated with thin girls. Main requirements: fit figure in accordance with the size, even posture.
Indications for use
Moderate physical activity is recommended for people of all ages. Sports not only helps keep muscles toned, but also trains the cardiovascular system and increases endurance.
It is recommended for girls who have a number of body features, health conditions or lifestyle to contact a fitness trainer to create an individual training program that will help them achieve their ideal figure.
One of the first steps to creating an ideal figure will be the help of a professional trainer, who will help the girl create an individual training program in the gym and monitor the correctness of its implementation.
These are the following features:
- tendency to become overweight;
- a sharp decrease in overall performance;
- excessive fatigue;
- periodic discomfort in the heart area (usually the cause of tingling is a lack of oxygen circulating in the cardiovascular system);
- shortness of breath (occurring even with short-term exertion);
- dizziness (not associated with serious pathological processes inside the body);
- tendency to disorders of the gastrointestinal tract;
- sedentary work and inactive lifestyle;
- pain in the back;
- posture disorders;
- sleep disorders;
- absent-mindedness;
- psycho-emotional instability;
- groundless excessive nervous excitability;
- chronic diseases that are in remission (diseases should not be restrictions for playing sports).

How to achieve a result of 90-60-90
The beauty standard determines the proportional parameters of the chest, waist and hips. There are many ways to achieve the desired numbers.
Basic rules for achieving a beautiful figure:
- Proper nutrition. A healthy, balanced diet is one of the key factors for losing weight and maintaining your figure. The basis of the diet should be complex carbohydrates in the form of cereals, whole grain bread, vegetables, and fruits. In addition, you should consume fermented milk products, fish and lean meats, berries, and herbs. You need to reduce as much as possible sweet foods, flour, fatty, smoked, salty foods.
- Drinking regime. It is necessary to drink enough water per day to speed up metabolism and remove waste and toxins from the body.
- Physical exercise. Exercising, running, swimming, exercising in the gym, playing sports, and walking help burn calories, maintain your figure, and speed up your metabolism.
- Healthy habits. It is worth reducing the consumption of alcoholic beverages, eliminating cigarettes, unhealthy snacks, and eating before bed.
- Deep sleep. To keep the body in good shape, you should sleep for 6 to 8 hours in a ventilated room.
For those with body types other than hourglass, outerwear will help adjust their volume.
The essence and basic principles of exercises
Girls with an ideal figure should not only know the essence of the process of maintaining their shape, but also understand the principles of performing exercises that can help them in this. The essence of daily physical activity is to constantly maintain the speed of metabolic processes, as well as lymph flow and blood flow.
The absence of stagnation in the body contributes not only to the high-quality absorption of nutrients, but also to the removal of waste and toxins that affect the formation of fatty deposits. Proper training aimed at creating an ideal figure, regardless of the conditions in which it is performed, implies that the girl adheres to the basic principles.
Basic principles:
- Start the lesson with a warm-up (the warm-up complex prepares muscles and joints for further stress and sets the pace of metabolism).
- Complete the workout with a cool-down (the final stage of the session usually includes a set of stretching exercises for muscles that have been “clogged” during training. Performing a cool-down minimizes the likelihood of pain in the body in the post-training period).
- Gradually increase the load (the human body quickly adapts to external circumstances, including physical activity. That is why, after 4-5 weeks of regular exercise, professional fitness trainers recommend changing exercises to avoid addiction and reduce the effectiveness of sports).
- Combine different types of loads within one workout (each complex must contain cardio and strength loads).
Useful tips
In order for sports to be as effective as possible, a girl should familiarize herself with useful recommendations related to increasing the effectiveness of her regularly conducted training.
Fitness trainers advise novice athletes:
- During exercise, monitor your pulse (depending on the goal, the pulse range varies. For example, for weight loss, the beat frequency should not exceed 120 beats per minute, and when increasing the body shape - 140 beats per minute).
- Drink enough fluids during training (ignoring this recommendation can lead to dehydration).
- Give your body enough time to recover both during the day and at night (you should sleep at least 8-9 hours a day).
- Set yourself mini-goals (for example, complete 4 sets of 20 squats, instead of the usual 3 approaches. Completing seemingly insignificant tasks on a subconscious level encourages a woman to continue playing sports, giving her confidence in her own success).
- Praise yourself for “forced” workouts that you had to do “through force” (praise should not go against a healthy lifestyle. As a reward, you can choose shopping or taking a relaxing bath with essential oils after exercise).
- If sports will take place at home, you should purchase basic sports equipment in advance (dumbbells, weights, barbells, gymnastic mat, fitball, etc.) or find analogues (for example, instead of dumbbells, you can use 1-liter bottles filled with water) .
Ectomorph
The ideal figure of a girl (photos of the ectomorph physique are given below in the article for clarity) stands out with particular sophistication. It is especially difficult for them to gain roundness in the right places. There are other negative aspects to an ectomorphic body type.
Features of a thin physique:
- With age, fat begins to be deposited around the waist, and body proportions become unattractive. The physique becomes like a rectangle.
- Usually such girls are weak in physical strength.
- Not only fat mass is poorly developed, but also muscle mass. And it increases slowly even with training.
- Not very popular with men. Since there are no attention-grabbing roundness (breasts, buttocks).
- When losing excess weight (when it appears), muscle mass decreases first, and then fat cells.
Outwardly, these are angular girls with long necks and limbs. Height is above average. Breasts and buttocks are practically absent. Girls are not inclined to be overweight, especially when they are young. They are also distinguished by pale and thin skin and fine hair. There are also health problems.
Features of the health of ectomorph girls:
- get tired quickly, even with a small load;
- low pressure;
- low iron content;
- frequent colds;
- problems with the spine;
- vein diseases;
- problems with the gastrointestinal tract.
The food they eat is quickly digested, so they are forced to eat more often. Due to the lack of fat, girls are cold even in warm weather. The most suitable sports activities for them are gymnastics and dancing. If a girl decides to gain weight in the buttocks and chest area, it will take a long time. You will also have to make efforts to maintain rounded shapes.

Contraindications for use
Girls with an ideal figure should create a set of exercises to maintain their shape, only after making sure that they do not have a number of contraindications to playing sports.
Among the circumstances requiring particularly careful selection of the load are:
- increased body temperature;
- progressive diseases accompanied by purulent processes;
- complex pathologies of the cardiovascular system (the supervising doctor notifies the girl about the possibility of playing sports for a specific disease);
- tendency to bleed;
- diseases of a neurotic nature (require adjustment of the base load);
- exacerbation of chronic diseases;
- pathologies of the circulatory system;
- metabolic disorders (when drawing up a training program, it is necessary to consult with a nutritionist who can give recommendations on nutrition that will help restore the normal state of the body);
- thyroid diseases;
- flu;
- pneumonia (until complete recovery);
- diseases of the visual organs (physical activity is possible only under the supervision of a professional fitness trainer);
- umbilical or inguinal hernia (the severity of the ban on sports is discussed with a surgeon who has an idea of the health status of a particular girl).
