Once again we come to the shapes of the body. If you are wondering what a pear shape means exactly, do not worry. A pear shape simply means that you carry more weight on the lower half of your body. This includes the areas of your buns and thighs mostly. To carry extra weight on the lower half of your body is not as life threatening as carrying it on the top half of your body could be. There is, however, a downside to having all the weight on the lower half of your body. Even though you are using the lower half of your body more, it is still extremely hard to lose weight in these regions. Most of the weight that is gathered around these areas is very dense fat…often the fat that forms into cellulite. And as many already know, it is almost impossible to get rid of cellulite without surgical or other expensive forms of treatment.
