FITCALVES
For all you fashion models out there who wish improve your look and spice up your catwalk presentation I suggest you pay a little more attention to developing your calves. Being fashion week In NYC I’ve noticed recently that many of the top models, although looking fantastic, need more calf development. For all you aspiring and established fashion models, here are some calf shaping tips that will help fill out those beautiful legs a little more and improve your presence:

1. Train your calves at least two to three times a week every week for at least 3 months. Consistency and hard work equals results!
2. Choose totally different exercises for routine 1 compared to routine 2 and 3.
3. If you’re training calves 3 days a week, have a light, medium and heavy day. This will ’surprise’ your calf muscles in to growth.
4. Always be conscious of feeling your calves when walking, standing and even sitting. For example, while walking, push through the balls of your feet as you stride - think tall!. This will increase muscle contraction in the gastrocnemius (the main calf muscle)
5. Train your other bodyparts while standing on the balls of your feet. Known as isometric or static contraction, adopting this technique will not only build greater calf definition, it will target your hamstrings and glutes at the same time.
6. Finally try some of my Powerpose’s -they are all performed standing on your toes!

Here’s to happy calf shaping. Let me know if you have any questions or feedback!

Keep climbing!
