Achieve the Same Lower Body Silhouette as a Fashion Model
A fashion model's lower body is not heavily muscular like that of a sports athlete.
Also, a fashion model's lower body doesn't have the large, protruding hips that are often preferred by the opposite sex in the U.S. and Australia.
Try to imagine it.
The reason is that such a lower body doesn't suit European high-fashion clothes.
Do you want to have a small hip that looks great in fashionable, slim jeans?
Do you think you need more lower body exercises to slim your lower body?
Do you do squats because you want to lift your hips?
Many women do exercises with these thoughts in mind to slim their lower bodies.
Are you blindly doing lower body exercises because you think they are good for slimming your lower body?
Take squats, for example.
Squats are an exercise that uses large, compound muscles, so they can quickly raise your basal metabolism and change your body into one that loses weight easily.
I'm sure many women have done squats at a body shaping gym or a personal training gym for women.
However, if your training form isn't suited to your individual bone structure, there is a high possibility that your hips and thighs will get bigger due to muscle growth. In a way, this can be very risky from a body shaping perspective.
・"I went to a women-only personal training gym, but my lower body didn't get slimmer..."
・"I did squats at a women-only diet gym, but I didn't lose weight..."
・"I did squats with a personal trainer at a body shaping gym, but my body got bigger..."
We receive many desperate body shaping consultations like these every day at Models.
This is the very dilemma and a major pitfall of lower body exercise: that doing training blindly can actually make your lower body bigger.
To put it simply,
It's okay for people with a "straight body"—who have the same straight joint angles as a top model. But for those with a "Wiggle body," the more they move their lower body, the bigger their hips and thighs will get due to muscle growth.
The difference between people who see quick results and can slim their lower body and those who don't, even though they're doing the same exercise and training, is due to the difference in their skeletal joint angles—the difference between a "straight body" and a "Wiggle body."
To put it simply, a straight body has a "slender skeleton" that allows for lower body weight loss.
If you're training but only your upper body is getting slimmer, and your lower body and hips aren't getting smaller, it's important to check this aspect first.
You can rest assured on this point.
Models' body shaping personal training is the only one that can do this.
The main essential body shaping training elements for lower body shaping are summarized below:
1. Balance adjustment between the front and back of the thighs
2. Balance adjustment between the gluteus maximus and gluteus medius/minimus muscles
3. Skeletal joint angle adjustment
4. Shoulder joint adjustment
5. Hip joint range of motion adjustment
6. Strength adjustment of superficial and deep muscle areas
All six of these are essential.
Especially regarding point 3.
Are there any top models with a bulky lower body?
They don't exist because their skeletal joint angles are in a straight line.
In other words, if you adjust your skeletal joint angles to a straight line, your body will become a model's physique that doesn't bulk up mechanically, and your lower body fat will be resolved.
The important issue here is where and at how many points you perform the joint angle adjustment.
For example, let's say you choose to adjust your pelvic tilt.
One point alone is insufficient.
So, should you add another point, like the ankle joint angle?
Of course, even two points are insufficient.
You need at least three points, and preferably four.
As a creature that stands upright against gravity, you can easily understand the principle of three or more points both physically and mechanically.
Conversely, if you precisely adjust your joint angles and perform smart and appropriate training, lower body shaping is not difficult. It can be resolved quickly.
On the other hand, if this joint angle adjustment is absent or insufficient, a bulky lower body and the imbalance between the upper and lower body will never be resolved.
For women, blindly doing lower body exercises is dangerous. It is especially dangerous for women with the strong "farmer's physique" that is common among Japanese people. Caution is required not only for squats for athletes but also for squats that have been adapted for body shaping.
And about point 6.
Without this strength adjustment between superficial and deep muscles, even if you adjust the joint angles as in point 3 and do squats, you will primarily use your calves and thighs, making them bulky...
As a woman, wouldn't you dislike having bulky calves and thighs? Unless that's what you want...
Without these body shaping concepts and techniques, it will be very difficult to resolve a bulky lower body. You also won't be able to achieve the slender and toned lower body of a model.

Many women have given up on slimming their lower body, but if you approach body shaping correctly, it's not that difficult. If you're doing body shaping but your lower body bulk isn't going away, it's simply because you're not getting the right body shaping training for your body.
If you find yourself wondering why your lower body isn't changing or why you can't lose weight in your lower body despite doing body shaping, it might be a good idea to look into these issues.
For specific training and exercise methods for lower body slimming and weight loss, you might want to ask a body shaping expert or a personal trainer who specializes in body shaping near you.
If you're doing **body shaping** for **weight loss** but find yourself not getting any results, it's a good idea to investigate this matter further.
Furthermore, for women, it becomes quite difficult to lose weight beautifully without also using the following targeted weight loss methods. We recommend checking these as well.

Body Shaping Methods
Many women think they should do more lower body exercises to slim their lower body! Are you also focusing blindly on lower body exercises because you want to slim your lower body? However, if the form doesn't match your skeletal structure, your hips and thighs might actually get bigger with muscle development. This is the dilemma of lower body exercises - even though you're doing body shaping...
From the extensive model guidance experience of personal trainer Toshiaki Ozeki, who has the #1 track record in model body shaping, it has been discovered that top models have developed what are called "model muscles" - muscle areas that ordinary people don't have. If you develop model muscles, you can achieve a model skeleton and automatically get a model body type. With model muscles, you can achieve the same straight, linear model body lines as top models.
Does doing lots of abdominal exercises remove fat from the waist? If you think so, that's a big problem! To conclude, body shaping is not that simple. Conversely, belly fat can be removed and the waist can be slimmed without doing abdominal exercises. To change a body that's hard to lose weight, you need authentic women's body shaping that produces results.
Slender, straight, thin stick legs - so-called model legs - have become essential not just for models but for all women in today's fashion-forward world where showing legs is mainstream. While model leg body shaping tends to focus only on making legs thinner, the key point of model leg body shaping is creating the straight, linear appearance of the legs.
In model body type body shaping, we reduce overall fat, change the shape of areas of concern, adjust posture and skeletal silhouette to straight joint angles, and organize body type lines. We polish the model body type by developing the same model muscles as top models. Finally, we add model body functions to achieve perfect finishing - this is true model body type body shaping.
To slim and beautifully shape your calves, you first need to objectively determine the cause of your thick calves. Causes of thick calves include: ① fat accumulation causing thickness, ② muscle causing thickness, ③ a combination of both. For cases ② and ③, body shaping that reduces calf muscle is essential.
While "pelvis" has become a standard term in women's body shaping and women's diet training, there are endless consultations about pelvis body shaping: "I didn't lose weight in a feminine way," "I didn't get a slender model-like body type," "I didn't lose weight at all"... Aren't you fed up with body shaping that uses the plausible-sounding word "pelvis" to obscure what's really happening?
Women with good posture are beautiful and cool. Good posture alone makes you look slimmer. Everyone surely thinks so. Even if you work hard to lose weight and diet, if you don't have beautiful posture, you won't look slender and your body shaping efforts will be wasted, won't they? In authentic body shaping, we don't leave posture to conscious effort - beautiful posture is achieved through body shaping training that changes the underlying skeletal joint angles.
Have you experienced doing upper arm exercises to slim your upper arms but finding that your upper arms don't get thinner? Or dieting but your upper arms don't look thinner? You might hear that you should do lots of upper arm exercises because your upper arms are a concern, but you've probably already realized that doing only upper arm exercises has almost no effect on reducing upper arm fat or slimming them.
Do you really understand the body mechanisms for weight loss and the systems that enable dieting? Is not eating the best way to lose weight? Is exercise unnecessary for weight loss? Can you lose weight by going to diet gyms or women's exclusive body shaping gyms? Does cardio burn fat? Foods introduced on TV one after another and exercise books lining bookstore shelves... The honest truth is you don't know which ones are really effective!!
"Body Shaping = Fashion" - We shape your body to a type that can wear any outfit like top models, allowing you to freely enjoy fashion as you shape your body. This can only be achieved through authentic body shaping. Instead of being chosen by clothes, you shape your body for the clothes. Why not freely shape your body type to enjoy fashion?
