If you are interested in this kind of modelling have no fear, but you need to have a sexy face. These form of modelling is the type meant for people with oval faces. They are the 'glamorous models' because they don't really have any requirements and they also appear a lot in magazines.

Glamour models also show parts of their bodies a lot while posing for magazines. They do a lot of implied shots and lingerie shots as well.

This type of modelling is the most competitive, because it's the highest paid and it gives models fame and lots of jobs. Most agencies or magazine want certain looks for models and this differs in each season, because it depends on the FACE that is selling. The required look for runway models is usually a model with the high cheekbones, long necks and square jaws.

You can stand in a particular position and jog (ankles hitting your butt, kneels high jogging, hold both ends separately in front of you like you're guiding from a blow and kick your legs high and straight etc) SET TIMER

THINGS TO EAT AS A MODEL

Mind what you eat please. This cannot be over emphasised because it's very important to have a balance diet in order to have a perfect body. Please take your eyes of that food now! Just kidding, but seriously mind what you eat. As a model or one who wants to have a good body shape, you have to know there is a big difference between hunger and craving. Most times you crave after a food without really being hungry. So please understand this.
1: Drink water a lot! Water is very helpful to the body, because its keep your skin clean, gives you more energy and keeps you hydrated. People sometimes mistake thirst for hunger. Anytime you feel like you are hungry, drink a full glass of water and wait for 10minutes before eating.
2: Food Diary: Keep a food diary. You might not like the sound of it, but it helps a lot.
2: Eat food rich in protein: Foods like turkey & chicken (breast, legs, etc) fish (tuna, tilapia, salmon) tofu, yogurt (no sugar), eggs (especially the white part of it), milk, cow milk, soy milk, goat milk, meat (beaf, steak) beans are all foods rich in protein.
4: Fruits & Vegetables: Eat fruits and vegetables a lot. These foods have rich essential vitamins and it helps to give the skin an healthy sparkle.
5: Smoking and Drinking: Many believes smoking helps to get slimmer, yes to an extent but the purpose of all the effort is to have a healthy lifestyle. Smoking destroys your metabolism, your breath, happiness, your nails, skin, hair, and most importantly your motivation and discipline. Alcohol has loads of calories than you can ever imagined. Drink water, soda water (not tonic water), drink red wine instead of alcohol.
6: Small: Take just little of empty carb foods like rice, bread, pasta and avoid giving in to your cravings. Instead curb your cravings with fruit, peanut butter and honey.
7: Always eat breakfast because it will give you the energy you need to face the day and do not eat right before you go to bed, because your metabolism won't function properly.

YOU DESERVE TO BE BEAUTIFUL

YOU! Yes You! 

You deserve to be beautiful!!! Deep down you know you are beautiful, but sometimes it seems you are not. Especially, when you think and feel you do not have a good body shape. Are you one of those that feel GOD was partial while dishing out bodies during creation, else He wouldn't have given you this body? Probably if there is a market where people can shop for perfect, sexy, hot, charming bodies and make it their own you will be glad to shop your dream body.
Dream no more!
You can have that dream body you desire! Those bodies you spend time starring at on TV shows, magazines and soaps, you can have such a body it all depends on you. You don't need to starve or torture yourself, you just need to work hard and be dedicated.
THINGS TO DO
1. Determination: This is the first key to having your dream body. Be determined even when people laugh at you, including your family. You alone know what you really want.
They can laugh all they want, don't listen to them. Often times lazy people laughed at people they see doing things they themselves cannot do.
2: Knowing what you want: Measure yourself before starting and before you eat anything, so you can know where you are and what you want to achieve by the end of the day. You shouldn't do this everyday ok, just sometimes. You can do this with a tape measurement or a digital scale. You need to know if you want to lose weight, stay fit or look like a bouncer. Knowing this will help you know what kind of exercise to do in order to boost metabolism and foods to eat and not eat.
3: Exercise: Cardio exercises helps to burn calories, boost your metabolism and improve your cardiovascular health. Running, jogging, walking up and down a hill, swimming and biking regularly at least 40minutes each day and at least 3 days a week . Hit the gym! Workout in the gym. Try out different programs and find out the ones that suits you. It doesn't mean you should be lazy, but do exercises that you enjoy doing, that way you can have fun and stick to it. Do not over-exert yourself. Do not always work out alone, it will get boring and you will get tired easily. When you exercise in company of friends or people the tendency is high that you will achieve a better result. Dancing is also exercising! Sometimes you might not feel like working out, put on a music you love and dance like its your last dance and no-one is watching. You can also walk instead of driving to that place that is not so far. If your office, school or church is like a 20 minutes walk and is something that if you do you won't be late, do it! And finally, if you can afford a trainer, please get one.
4: EATING: Some people starved themselves because they think it will help them have a perfect body. But the truth is, it won't do much. All you need to do is reduce your intake of calories everyday. Never you skip breakfast! Eat early and avoid eating late at night. Stop eating junk foods like the type you eat in eateries. Cut down the amount of rice, bread and other empty carbs you take. Eat food that contains protein a lot. Foods like beans, fish, egg, chicken, turkey are rich in protein. Eat fruits and vegetables, they contain rich vitamins and drink lots of water but avoid alcohol. You learn more on THINGS TO EAT.
5: BREAK: Take a break from time to time and just relax and enjoy yourself away from your routine. Ask your friends you know will be honest and frank with you to give you their opinion about your improvement. You can also take before and after pictures to help check progress. And also try those clothes you might have outgrown after some weeks and see how it fits.
6: Motivation: Look for whatever motivates you and draw motivation from it. Pictures of models, fashion icons and body trainers can be helpful. For ladies, bikinis can also be a good source of motivation. Hang it in your room where you can see it everyday. Most importantly have someone like a partner or partners depending on you to do this together. Surely, you will have that perfect body of your dream.
