For exaggeration i would say try to do 1 to 5 min sketch this force you to find the most interest shape or proportion in the piece but not enought to be caught with detail that do not meet the challenge if a full figure mean nothing to the challenge why bother...
Obvious for shapes and proportions you might prefer reference where a part of the body is closer to the viewer so athelete or performance artist would be good reference as they are very gestural.As far as exaggeration do we talk about caricature level or do we talk about midly accentuation?Is the idea to create from imagination or to push a reference... those are two completely different level of challenge.
Personally i would go more toward referencing inputtwo work(for example is subject matter is pin up good for foreshorten) it as more of what i believe we are talking about just going midly at it doesn't make you learn to push the shape and proportion to the maximum which to me is the essence of the challenge... you can always learn to dial thing down but you need to aim at the sky first.
You don't have to always stay true to your own style studying other artist and gaining insight in try to emulate them help you go down the road of the decision making process they possibly go throught.
