Getting the perfect body shape is not easy:  takes relentless efforts, exercise and most importantly eating right. Body type and body shape are two entirely different things:  when you go dress shopping, you must focus on your body shape to get the right fit of garment. On the other hand, body type is about how your body digests foods, your metabolism and hormonal system etc. Shape of the body has more to do with the external features while the body type focuses on the internal aspects. Once you understand your body type you must work your way around the right diet and effective exercise to maintain desired weight and shape.
