We bring you a list of the top women's physiques, as per the findings of a survey by UK fitness training company Lifestyle 247 Bootcamps.
Thin is no longer in -- the latest research conducted to determine what people consider a desirable physique has some surprising results.
UK fitness training company Lifestyle 247 Bootcamps has released the results of a recent poll and established that an athletic body is what almost everyone wants.
Seventy two per cent of women respondents said they'd prefer an athletic figure to a waifish or skinny one, while 81 per cent of the men polled would like to date a woman with an athletic body. What's more, 35 per cent of the women said they feel 'repulsed' when they see skinny celebrities.
As for the most sought-after physiques in stardom, here they are!
1. Jessica Ennis
The UK's Olympic heptathlete champion beat out competition from several entertainers.
The Daily Mail quoted Yasmin Mohammed, founder of Lifestyle 247 Bootcamps as saying, "'We have noticed our female clients are more focused on toning and sculpting their bodies as opposed to just losing weight and many commented on how desirable Jessica Ennis' body was during the Olympics -- the most enviable body part being her abs!"
Curves are also much preferred to being slim -- full-figured glamour model Kelly took second place.
In third position is the brunette bombshell, whose derriere has acquired iconic status.
Former Victoria's Secret model Rosie is slender, but toned and taut -- she definitely has that 'oomph' factor.
RiRi's Barbadian bikini body has found favour with millions across the world -- and she never shies away from flaunting it.
At 49, the Aussie supermodel is the oldest on this list, but her drool-worthy figure has her looking two decades younger!
Also in her 40s, the former Bond hottie is preternaturally preserved and still rocks out a two-piece.
The Brazilian beauty has a strong and lithe physique, the envy of women everywhere. No wonder she makes it to Number Eight.
Bundchen's fellow yummy-mummy supermodel is also at the top of her game -- Aussie Miranda fills out a swimsuit like few can!
And rounding off the top 10 is this lovely lady from girl group The Saturdays. Frankie has a boyish name and hairdo, but there's no mistaking her feminine figure!
