Modeling Problems.?

Question

1. I am really interested in modeling, but i have a slight problem- I am 13 years old and only 5'2"! Is there any way I can model, even though I am a little vertically challenged.

2. I'm not fat, but I really worry about becoming fat and not being able to become a model. What are the best workouts that concentrate on toning the whole body and the stomach? (I am NOT athletic at all)

Answer 1

Absolutely! Models come in all shapes and sizes, even the ones who are a tad heavy (Torrid store uses them). So being petite is ok for many modelling assignments, just not runway.

There are parts models (hands, feet, etc), which call for graceful and small.

Suggest you join One Model Place and look around at the models who advertise.

Dancing is a great workout and it teaches graceful movement. Dance classes can be fun and also help overcome shyness.

I am a semi-pro photographer. I use petite models -- a tad older, however.

Answer 2

You can definitely still get into modeling, just not fashion or runway modeling, where you need to be at least 5'9". You can do commercial or print, and who knows? At 13, you might still grow!

For toning, I'd DEFINITELY recommend doing Pilates. It's GREAT at total body toning and I know a lot of models do it to stay in shape. If you don't know what it is or don't know where to get ahold of it, just run a Yahoo search for "pilates" or "winsor pilates". It works great, trust me!

1. u can be a model. dont worry, strech every day to grow a little taller. and eat healthy food, avoid red meat, salt, and carbs.
2. try doing yoga. this takes motly flexiblity and u dont need to run or anything like tht. also yoga helps u to flatten ur abs faster.
