Which sport/exercise do you think gives the most pleasing physique?

[Womnaleplus]

For women, I'm thinking ballet or whatever that hula hoop one is. Men - swimming?

Yoga for sure

Ballet - for both women and men.

Hmm, yes possibly swimming is little unbalanced.

Ruby, do you think yoga gives a better figure than Pilates?

Resistance training, no question - gives a nice defined, strong, athletic figure.

Athletics.
I'd kill for Jessica Ennis' body.
I suspect there is a lot of resistance/weights involved.

Gymnastics and rowing

Yoga

Ashtanga yoga

Completely biased here...yoga!

Pilates, and maybe ballet but too much ballet means massive calves and thighs. Depends what you like of course!

I always used to think ice-skaters had great figures. Strong and toned but in propotion.

What's resistance training?

Strength weightlifting for women. Martial arts for men.

Never running, string beans.

Ballet does make your calves bigger.

Resistance training and running, for both.

Kettlebells. Gave me the best arms I've ever had. I do 30 mins high impact and am drowning in sweat when I leave. I've even bought my own kettlebells so I can do it at home.

Damn, i was going to look into doing ballet but I already have HUGE calves, I can't let them get any bigger!

Oh and tabata training is also great.

One, perhaps it's when you go en pointe. I'm sure it's fine before that. Go for it.

No ballet definitely makes your calves bigger even if you don't go en pointe! But it depends why your calves are big in the first place - if it's fat it might burn it off and they'll get smaller? It's amazing for toning your legs and butt.

Oh ok . But yes might reduce you never know.

It's very good exercise.

Dance, not necessarily ballet. Probably not Morris either, though I have never made a close examination.

gah 0 yoga is just lying around

i would say kettlebells or pump

Martial arts

for men - water polo
