physique
How you're built
Physique is the form and structure of a person's body, especially regarding muscular development and physical fitness: He has the physique of a swimmer.
The word typically appears in contexts of athleticism or attractiveness, carrying a slightly more formal or admiring tone than simply saying "body" or "build."
