2. Body Shaping

This is neither the fastest, nor the easiest way to reshape the body but I find it helps retain the skin texture as well as the natural shape of the individual parts, as opposed to using the Liquify Tool, which is fast and easy but destroys all detail and makes the skin look like plastic and the bones like rubber. The technique is the same for all body parts so I will only show a couple of them.
