As ladies with pear-shaped bodies have a slender top half compared to the lower body with smaller shoulders, it's also important to work on toning your shoulders and arms to create balance.

Curl your hands into a fist and fold your arms inwards so that the fists are pointing at each other. Make sure your shoulders and arms are straight, then stretch outwards till you feel a pull on your inner arms. Repeat for 30 seconds.

Punch one arm up into the air with your palm facing outwards and making sure that the arm is straight while the other arm remains folded and vice versa. Repeat for 30 seconds.

#9 Abdomen stretch
