Preserve your Curves

Ramp up your exercises...

‘Do multi joint exercises. Instead of doing tricep kickbacks with a weight, try doing triceps bench dips which work the shoulders, shape the chest and engage the abs. Triceps bench dips are much harder to do and the more muscle fibre you recruit, the more balanced you will be.
Top tip: keep arms shoulder-width to work your triceps, then place your arms wider than shoulder-width to work your chest.’

Stars like Kim Kardashian, Doutzen Kroes and Jennifer Lopez have paved the way for women to embrace curves. These icons are slim but haven’t lost their womanly shape, celebrating their hips, bust and bum. If you want a more feminine shape but find yourself losing it from all the wrong places when you do drop a few pounds, read on. Gunnar Peterson, Kim Kardashian’s personal trainer, shares the top tips he uses to keep his clients' figures curvaceous and toned.

Don’t starve yourself...

‘Figure out your BMR (basal metabolic rate-how many calories you burn daily i.e. what you can get away with to stay at about the same weight) and then pull back little by little. Starving is so 90s.’

To find out your BMR use this equation. BMR = 655 + (4.35 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years)

Don’t be afraid of big weights...

‘You will NOT build size - you don’t have enough testosterone and you are not eating enough to build. Lift big to stay lean and let your muscles be seen.’

Squat. Squat. And then do some squats...

‘No matter how you slice it, dress it, cover it, expose it, a pronounced, balanced, shapely butt on someone over 30 (youth does have its privileges- like defying gravity…) will benefit from squats. Do traditional squats, but also include single leg squats in your exercise regime. Support your body by holding on to something and squat down on one leg. Drive through the heel of that leg as explosively as possible to return to a standing position. Repeat 8-12 times. PER leg, nice try…’

Drink plenty of water...

‘Then have some more water. We are made up of 70-80% water. As are our muscles. Keep them full, and keep your skin looking smooth and alive. Don’t worry about drinking too much water to do yourself harm; you’d have to try to drink yourself to drown for that!’

Side lunges...

‘Like a lunge, only to the side. Ease in to the deepest part of the lunge and explode back to the starting position. You want a round bum? You’re on you’re way to a total eclipse of your buns.’
