"Start in standing position in a wide stance with your feet about 4ft apart (depending on your height.) Push your hips back behind your right foot, bending your right leg, while keeping the left leg straight. Return to center and repeat on other side. You should feel your glutes working in the bent leg and your adductors (inner thigh) stretch on the straight leg.
Do 20, alternating sides
TIP: Reach out in front for a counter balance. Keep your shin as vertical as possible—think hips back, rather than knee forward."
Over the past few years of hanging out backstage with and in the homes of some of the most beautiful faces (and bodies) on this planet, we've come to realize a fair bit. The most undisputed fact is that looking that good requires work. And, okay, so they may have won the genetic lottery, towering at 5'9" plus and having perfectly symmetrical faces. But looking flawless in the age of HD and iPhones takes a bit more effort by way of the gym. Herein, we ask our lithe friends and their trainers to show us what really goes into creating a camera-ready and healthy physique.
