Summer is almost upon us, which means it's almost time to shed those winter layers and throw on a skinbaring bikini. To help get us ready for bathing suit season (taut tummy, toned legs, etc), we sought out
Justin Gelband, also known as the "model whisperer," to break down the moves that got his Sports
Illustrated cover girl client Hannah Davis in tip-top shape for the magazine's annual swimsuit issue:
Beyond his superhuman clients like Davis, Kate Upton, and Karlie Kloss, Gelband has worked with a
variety of body types at his New York City modelFIT gym and knows what moves will deliver results for
almost everyone. "Exercise is about each and every individual, how they feel it, and how they tailor it to
their own bodies. But these five moves are universal that most everyone can do," said Gelband of the
below program which helped get Davis in shape, and fast—he began working with Davis a mere six weeks
before her shoot.
THE WORKOUT
Repeat the following circuit only once for a one-hour, full body workout. Be sure to use a pair of 2 to 3 lb.
weights for optimal results.
