WEEK 1

I'm sure many of you are wondering, what is a figure competition?
Figure competition is a newer sub-category of Fitness contests; Figure shows exclude the routines round common to Fitness shows. The competitors are judged solely on muscular symmetry and tone; as in Fitness shows, muscle size is downplayed. Women are judged based on conditioning, leanness, and how "feminine" and "athletic" their muscularity is. The training and preparation for a competition is very mentally and physically draining. Eating every 2-3 hours, working out 2-3 times per day, tracking calories and body fat weekly, and making sure to get the right amount of carbs,protein, and fat into your diet.



Why would someone want to do this??? I'm sure many of you are thinking I'm crazy! I'm beginning to think that myself a little! :) I am very into health and fitness and have always loved the "figure" look of women. I feel that I am ready for a challenge like this in my life. This is more of a personal goal/challenge that I have always wanted to try, and this year I'm doing it! I know that many people do not understand this lifestyle I'm partaking in, however, I'm the only one that needs to understand it! I love working out, being healthy, feeling good!

So if you are interested in my blog, come back!! I will post every week 1-3 times regarding my training, diet, mental struggles, etc. This is a way for me to keep myself focused and introduce others to an unfamiliar sport. Thank you for taking the time to visit!
