All in the name of pushing their bodies to their limits.

Others choose a celebrity or athlete with rock-hard abs and bulging biceps they too crave.

Maybe it’s Hugh Jackman (circa Wolverine), Bruce Lee, Rocky-era Sylvester Stallone, or none other than Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

We hate to break it to you, but you’d be both incorrect and naive.

January 20, 2023 By Natalie DePriest

Aesthetic physique body
Here are 7 effective tips to build a visually aesthetic body.

Let’s be honest. Most of us start working out because we want to build a body that looks good. We want big arms, a thick chest, and six-pack abs that make heads turn. We want that enviable v-shape that makes the ladies love us and the guys want to be us. Sure, getting healthy is a nice bonus, but for most of us, exercise is all about aesthetics.

An “aesthetic body type” is one that is built for visual appeal. It’s not about getting big and bulky like the guys you see on stage at a bodybuilding show or building strength and endurance for athletic performance.

An aesthetic body is a dense, hard, and well-defined natural physique with broad shoulders, a square masculine chest, rock hard arms, a slim waist, and athletic legs with minimal body fat. Easier said than done, right? Here are seven real aesthetic body tips for a visual impact physique.
