As we all know, working out can be pretty boring. As we also know, often models are not the sharpest tools in the shed. However, as the following videos prove, there are exceptions to both of these rules!
The Ford Modeling agency has come up with a great plan to get some exposure for their models in the form of having them share some of their favorite workout tips via Web videos. I’ve chosen a few of the ones I found particularly useful. Hopefully you’ll find a few good tips too.

I am a professional model. I have 2 degrees (Business administration and Psychology)! Contrary to popular belief most models are very intelligent business women! After all, they must market and promote themselves! They are their own business and are, essentially, entrepreneurs! Please get your facts straight before you label a group of people! Most often, the people that claim models are dumb tend to be women/men that are insecure about their appearance or men/women that are not attractive or financially stable enough to date one!!!
Excuse me!? I am a model. 15 years old and i am one of the smartest guys in my class as in all the freshmen. God blessed us with these beautiful bodies to show off. Not to hide it. So why not make a killing and pursue your dreams by becoming a model. Its about the best job you can have.
I am not going to reprimand anybody on here, but I would like to say that, as a young model, most of us are extremely smart. When we fly to places, we have to be studying on our off time, like in the planes or in cars. Most of our agents as they said that we cannot go unless our grades are at A’s.
Hey guys (and gal) :) thanks for posting these exercises on the web! Its greatly appreciated by people like me who lack the experience and insight into exercise specifics. Ive recently started using your ab exercise routine and today was my first day at attempting C. Comforts chest routine. Ouch! I feel the burn in places I didnt know I had :( . 2 quick things tho, 1). Pay no attention to the “Model brain power” comments posted here, some people just cant help being that way! 2). And as an avid golfer (who’s pushing 50 yrs old) do you have any “free” :) hints for forearm strengthening? My routine of wrist curls and 250lb squeeze bars doesnt seem to have the same old effect’s. Thanks again and best of luck to you!
Evelyn models are not stupid…we are like that…we got good metabolisms and naturally good bodies…we also study n alll…i am a graduate…and i get paid good enough for modelling assignments so i stick to my modelling…it is what i love to do…i love to workout i love the weights…dont just blabber without knowin anything…there are less models who are stupid than stupid people who are not models…
I have to use my brain to earn a living and in my opinion I would rather use my looks. I envy a guy who has a great physique and can make a career out of it!
A models brain is their body , but models have two brains.
I must admit , the stereotypical onslaught for models is quite repetetive now. I did some shoots a few months ago and worked with some great people. I had always found this way of life to be somewhat disturbing , as a shy male and a negative individual , i guess you could say that i was naturally afraid of life.
However it was the exposure to the lense that buily my confidence , this confidence buily my body and my body built my life. This is a topic that has altered my perception of these individuals doing great work for the rest of us.
Despite what you think of them , models do great justice in providing us with the drives we need to achieve things , be it that new shirt or that person in the commercial we secretly adore. It’s these people that keep us on our toes and wanting more for who we are.
Models changed me as a person , splendid characters with more intelligence than the critics that scrape at them
10 out of 10 to all models , thank you for sorting my world out.
Well said.
It is pretty funny how you think models are so stupid, yet you are reading what they have to say on their websites…hmmm. Why do you even care? You are obviously very unhappy with your own life and feel as though it is necessary to put down other people who are happy and healthy!…Go for a jog and keep your negativity to yourself.
Have A Great Day! :)
Sounds to me like your the ignorant one!!! Use your looks to get paid?? Whey the hell not?? Oh, and most models RETIRE at 30 due to having made a killing off “thier looks.” I’d much rather enjoy my prime touring other countries, seeing sites and experiencing things most “backwoods idiots” will never lay thier eyes on compared to working a 9-5 till I’m 62 or older and …what was it?….fat and wrinkley! I’d like to know if you get paid $10,000.00 and over for one picture being taken of you or one photo shoot! Raise??? Who needs one with that coming in on a regular basis!!! Do the math dumbass….sounds like you’re the stupid one. Good luck with those brains!!
My sister worked as a model for 9 years. She had obtained a GED in order to leave high school early and pursue her modeling career. Best decision she ever made as she was earning well over 6 figures, and got to travel around the world, all at the tender age of 17. Not too shabby in my book.
Excuse me? Not all models are stupid. I’m a model and I find it very offensive that you would agree with a stereotype like that. My class rank is in the top 20 students in my high school, so I don’t want to hear it. You need to get in touch with reality and stop judging people you do not know. You obviously don’t understand the whole modeling industry when you say we just use our bodies to get paid. Sure, it is about looks, but its an art. Its obviously too complicated for you to understand.
I think the fact that you are placing models in a stereotypical value is absolutely a disgrace.
Yes, some may not be that bright, but if they can not be an academic person, modelling is a good place for a job, such as others would go into shop assisting or till working to get by. But you can not criticize any one for their looks, even if their beauty is used to gain money. I’m pretty sure most people would use what gift they have to make a career and every body should be open to choose their own. So by making comments to that, I would also like to point out that why do you think it is right to say that most models have a very low intellectual ability when many also have outstanding grades and diplomas and choose modelling as an alternative with the world being so obsessed with money and the lack of jobs due to a “credit crunch� And no that was not a rhetorical question; it is one I wouldn’t just like you to read, but to answer. I am sixteen, turning seventeen soon, i gained 11 gcse’s. Passed every one I took, in the end I didn’t revise as I had no time due to other problems arising, yet I still managed to accomplish 5 A grades, four B’s and two C’s. The two C’s being half foundation so a C was the highest I could achieve. I would also like to go on to point out that I would love to be a model, being paid for your looks may be seen wrong to some, yet if they had the opportunity I’m sure they would have second thoughts. Think before you place your opinions in a place to whereby they may effect another person life and form coplexions, and stop aiming your hatred towards models who are also stereotyped as “ anorexic and to skinny (size zero model)†and focus your hatred into helping other such as with obesity, maybe the lack of attention to detail you all have may just be the right boost to get some to gain a better life instead of ruining a life some one has already created.
I am a model and I have two degrees. It would be stupid to not do what you love and get paid for it. I am sure if you could get paid to take a picture or deliver lines you would do it too. That was just an ignorant comment. Talk about what you know about.
models are pretty stupid…. most of them dont even have a high school diploma
lets see.. if a pretty girl has no brains, then why is she posing in front of a camera?
oh yes, using her looks to get paid
why not, ditch the modeling world, graduate high school, go to university,
and use your brains to get paid! not your body!, which is why their careers
are over by age 30… wrinkly fat bodies… magazines dont want that!
so… lorin does your degree help you to get a raise in the modeling world?
yeah ok! lol
i think that people thinking that models are stupid but thats just a stereoptype
Evelyn, your just mad ’cause you’re over 30 and have a super fat wrinkly body. Models jobs are to stay in shape – they’re not going to have a overweight wrinkly body like yours by 30.
You are they example of the worst kind of person – a person who reverts to stereotypes because they know nothing else, and aren’t smart enough to use their own brain. So instead of insulting models take a good look at yourself first there.
I beg to differ. Do you know most models?? Do you know any?? Models are not stupid, most are actually very smart. 1st of all, its not just about “posing in front of a camera” it takes the creative skills of a visionary to be able to depict and emote something particular to the audience through a picture. Secondly, the modeling world is not about being “pretty”, its about being photogenic and being able to, as I mentioned before, emote through the lens of a camera, which (you’d be surprised) most people cannot do. A model is the centerpiece of a live work of art, like the Mona Lisa is to the painting. 3rd, a person’s level of formal education does not directly dictate their intelligence. There are plenty of genius dropouts, as many as there are idiots with degrees, so the next time you come out of your mouth talking about how stupid somebody is for having a talent that you obviously must not have, then think about this: It is much smarter for a person to drop out of high school and earn a hefty salary than it is to earn a PhD and be in debt for the rest of your life just so that people won’t think you’re “using your looks” because you’re vapid.
Every single model I know has post-high school education…
Models are not the sharpest tools in the shed? Excuse me? Most models are no less intelligent than the average person! Yes, there are stupid models, but you know what? There are stupid people everywhere, and being a model makes you no less likely to be smart. As a model and university student, I find the idea that intelligent models are an exception to the norm personally offensive. Thanks for perpetuating the stereotype.
