This ideal body proportions calculator gives classic golden-ratio targets — such as the shoulder-to-waist ratio — used as aesthetic fitness goals. Enter your measurements above.
Guideline
Ideal shoulder : waist ≈ 1.618 : 1 (the golden ratio) Ideal waist = shoulder circumference ÷ 1.618
Example
Shoulders 120 cm: ideal waist ≈ 120 ÷ 1.618 = 74 cm.
These are aesthetic ideals, not health rules; bodies vary and health matters more than any ratio.
