Eight basic training methods for models

1. Stand on the wall

The five-point-one-line method, the back of the head, shoulders, hips, calves, and heels are in five points. Keep a straight line against the wall, tighten your abdomen, lift your chest, put your soles together, hold a piece of paper between your legs and knees, and hold on for 40 minutes.

2. Ligament stretching

Mainly relax the muscles of the neck, shoulders, waist and legs. Avoid the embarrassment of stiff muscles and uncoordinated limbs during the catwalk. Many people can't keep up with the rhythm when walking on the catwalk. They always feel that their hands and feet are not swinging very well, and they can't do their overall movements while walking. Part of the reason is that the limbs are not stretched well.

3. Kicking steps

One of the biggest differences between models and ordinary people is that they take long steps. How to get out of the aura? How to walk domineeringly? First, learn to kick in slow motion.

When practicing, the one-word step (cat step) should be used as the basis (legs walking in a straight line). The feet, legs, waist, head, and hands form the entire body posture and rhythm, expressing harmonious music. feel. You should feel your hips lifted when walking. The ancients said: "Enhancing Dantian Qi will increase spiritual courage." It can be seen that if the calves use strength, the walking effect will be better. When walking in high heels, the toes should land first. When practicing in flat shoes, the heels should land first, but it should feel like the toes land first to ensure that the calf and thigh are in the same straight line, so that the performance can achieve the ideal effect.

4. Crotch training

When female models practice, use their crotch to find rhythm. Place your hands on your hips, stand straight with your legs together, and swing your hips from side to side to the rhythm. Be sure to find the rhythm correctly, and remember not to twist backwards (reflected by straightening the knees back and protruding the buttocks backwards)

Male models must remember not to use their hips to find the rhythm, but to use their knees to find the rhythm, which will give them a sense of strength. Stronger.

5. Arm swing training

The female model stands in a T-step, while the male model stands naturally, with the abdomen closed, shoulders open, hands hanging down naturally, and the big arms driving the forearms to swing naturally. Follow the music and find the right beat.

If you really can’t find your strength point, you can practice with heavy objects in your hands to find a sense of strength and balance.

6. Eye training

Eye is a model’s lethal weapon. You can perform eye exercises according to your own style positioning. It can be gentle, domineering, seductive, etc., and can be switched freely at any time.

Eye training mainly exercises concentration and performance. For concentration, you can stare at yourself in the mirror, find the eyes that suit you, keep still without blinking, and train for the longest time; you can also stare at something in the distance, keep your eyes still, and step forward to get closer.

Performance requires models to have a deep understanding of the style and image they want to express, to have a clear understanding of the emotions they want to express, to be a girl or boy with inner drama and stories, and to perform boldly come out.

7. Walking posture training

When walking on the stage, the model's body should stand up straight and feel an upward pulling force acting on the body, but it should not be stiff. The neck should be straight and the head should be upright, but not stiff. The chin should be flat, the shoulders should droop naturally, and the hands should be natural. Avoid sticking out the abdomen and protruding buttocks. When taking a step, move your hips to drive your thighs, then lift your knees, use your calves to drive your feet, and walk out of a straight line. The model should swing her arms naturally. When practicing, use the shoulder joint as the axis, straighten both arms naturally, and swing back and forth alternately. The steps on the stage should be firm but not stiff, soft but unremitting. Avoid splayed or splayed feet. When models practice walking, they should pay attention to the coordination of their head, shoulders, hips, legs and other parts.

8. Styling training

The model itself must have a good grasp of the style of the catwalk, and judge the style through music type, clothing type, stage theme, etc. You must have an understanding of style, integrate yourself into the situation to show yourself or your clothes, and dare to act and act.

The style should be moderate and not too exaggerated to avoid embarrassment.
