Get a Model Body
Models are immediately assumed to be stick thin, very tall, size zero creatures who "no one looks like". However, there are different types of models, with various body types. Whatever body type you are looking to get, it is achievable based on your natural figure and your endurance.
Steps
- Decide What Type Of Body You Want: Typically, for someone aspiring to be, or to look like a high fashion model, you have to be at least 5'8, and considerably slim. Plus size models are fuller and more curvaceous, and swimsuit and underwear models are thin but with curves.
- Take Your Current Stats And Measurements: You want to be able to have something to compare with, sort of like a before and after thing. Measure your weight, hips, bust, waist, know your dress size etc. You can also take some pictures if you want. This encourages you as you go on and helps you determine your rate of progress.
- Make Diet Plans: You might need to lose, or gain, a bit of weight to get the body you want. See a nutritionist, go online, ask around, and get a diet plan that will help you put on, get rid of, or maintain the weight you desire.
- Make A Regular Workout Plan: Every type of model needs to work out and stay in shape in order to look good and remain healthy. Go to a gym near you, get a personal trainer and tell him/her what you want. You can also work out on your own at home, but whatever you do make sure you get regular cardio (you can get this through activities like dancing, and some sports like boxing, table tennis), and you tone your body. Cardio gets your heart rate up and develops muscles, while toning shapes the muscles to give you a sleek and sexy shape. If you need to work on a particular area of your body, do so, but do not forget that you have to exercise your whole body as well to stay in good shape. Make sure you work out regularly, and often, to get results.
- Take Care Of Your Skin And Hair: Models have great skin and lovely hair. Take care of yours by eating lots of fruits, and drinking lots of water. Avoid foods with lots of fats or oils as this make the skin oily and gives pimples(zits). Do not use soaps and lotions that are harsh on your skin; avoid prolonged exposure to the sun. Any scars you wish to get rid of? See a dermatologist, as whatever treatment you get is peculiar to the skin type you have.
- Stick To Your Plan: This is always the most difficult part. You have to stick to your diet and exercise regularly. You can put up pictures of the body you're aiming for to inspire you. One thing you should always do is visualize yourself with that body. It generally makes things easier, and helps you see your body changes faster.
- Get Someone Else Involved: We tend to strive to achieve things faster when we know people are watching. Tell a friend or family member, several if you want to, about your plans. It should preferably be someone who sees you often, so that you don't just lie to the person through the phone.
Tips
- Compare yourself to your old body at regular intervals to track your progress.
- Visualize your new body constantly to keep you motivated.
- Never starve yourself.
- Always be positive.
- Always make sure you are healthy. If a diet plan or certain workout does not work for you, then STOP. Look for better options.
- Don't aim too high. Your target should be achievable based on your natural body shape and should keep you in good health, or you will create problems for yourself and get discouraged.
- Reward yourself as you progress. Treat yourself to something you love. Do this regularly to keep your spirits up.
- Don't be discouraged if you don't see progress straight away. Your body may need some time to adjust to the new routine before any changes happen.
