Candice Swanepoel or sometimes nicknamed as Flamingo (due to her long legs) is a South African runway model who works for Victoria’s Secret. Justin Gelband is her personal trainer who helps her in keeping toned legs. Justin says that there are 5 key exercises on which Candice works, the lower back, hip, butt, balance and stability.
The most important thing which a model needs while walking on the runway is the balance. So, she works out to keep her body balanced. This 5 ft 9 in model likes kickboxing, jumping ropes and building muscles.
Candice also practices Yoga when she is too tired of boxing. She says that yoga keeps her to stay flexible and keep her mind quiet.
Further, Gelband insists on working out with quality over quantity. This video explains how Candice develops her body for runway with Justin Gelband.
As you must have seen that Justin works on Candice’s lower half of the body. He uses ankle weights (2 pounds) to develop her muscles by making her to do various agility exercises. Agility exercises involves muscles coordination, balance development.
Micro-Squat: "I like to focus on my thighs and bum, so I do a lot of squats," Swanepoel says. Stand with feet together, arms extended, and squat, lowering two inches per count for three counts. Hold, then rise on a three count. Repeat, first with feet shoulder-width apart, then with feet together, then apart again. That's one rep; do 10.
Leg Pulse: "The smaller the motions, the better the results," Gelband says. Lie on left side, left arm bent under head, left leg extended, right leg perpendicular at hip. Use your glutes to pulse right leg up and down 20 times, moving it slightly toward left foot with each rep. Switch sides; repeat.
One-Two Punch: "When I punch, I use my arms and core," Swanepoel says. Stand with feet hip-width apart, left leg just in front of right, fists at chin, elbows in. As you rotate and pivot right foot, punch right arm across body until arm is 75 percent extended. Return to start. Then throw a left hook by raising left elbow to shoulder height, arm bent 90 degrees, rotating through hips. Return to start; do 15 reps. Switch sides; repeat.
It does not affect much to her, as she has always been thin from her childhood. Also, besides eating her favorites, she eats healthy food as well like vegetables, proteins, drinks a lot of water and steak to develop some muscles.
She admits that it is too difficult to maintain a balanced diet plan while travelling. That doesn’t mean that she will deprive herself from eating. Rather, she eats whatever she wants, whether it is pizza, Brazilian cheese bread or anything.
