1st Figure Comp Recap

Her style is often times functional, athletic, high energy, and plyometric. Interesting! Here is an example of a core workout she did that definitely does not fit into the conventional figure competitor core workout! Although it does still focus on the ...

It’s all over and life is back to “normal”…and what does “normal” mean anymore? How am I supposed to ...

So peeps, just a quick update on what’s up. My first ever figure competition is THIS SATURDAY!!!!!!! AGHHH!!! The hardest part will still be the walking in heels (so far, that’s how it appears).

I weighed in at 122.4 pounds today. What the heck?! Craziness. That is LOW for me. Very ...

Hydrostatic Body Fat Testing Results!!!

Wow! Great news today πŸ™‚

I’m two weeks out, and was sooo curious what my body fat is.

I hate calipers and most other forms of body fat testing, because they are highly inaccurate. Luckily, I had heard of a mobile hydrostatic testing service called “Fitness Wave Norcal.” I was able to book an appointment with them for after my clients- yes! Serendipity πŸ˜‰ For those of you who aren’t familiar with hydrostatic body fat testing, it is regarded as the ...
