Ever think of competing in a bikini bodybuilding competition? Here are the top 5 tips to help you bring your best all-around package when hitting that stage for the first time!

1. Nutrition-The most important one of them all! Make sure you are working with an experienced coach that can help you get on the right nutrition plan! What you eat and the timing of when you eat is so important. You will not be able to achieve the proper look of a bikini competitor without the right nutrition. If you get on the wrong nutrition plan, it can really mess up your metabolism and other complications can come up as well!

2. Working out- Before you think about competing make sure you have the time to work out, sometimes even twice a day! The way you train and what you train is so important on perfecting that stage body. Everybody is different so make sure that your workouts are catered to you and your body type. Really focus on your weak points during your work out sessions, you want to look as proportionate as possible to really get your best body on stage!

3. Posing- I would definitely hire a posing coach. If you look the part, you need to act the part as well! I’s all about confidence and knowing how to show off the right angles that best flatter you and your body. Show those judges what you worked so hard for!

4. Makeup/Hair & Spray Tan- Yes it maybe a little extra money but do not overlook this part! The judges want to see a well put together athletic woman in a bikini.

5. The judges- The judges are very close to you looking up so they can see every little detail. Also, after the show is over, talk to the judges see what there critiques are, so you know what you can work on for next show.

"I started working out with a trainer virtually a couple weeks ago & it has been awesome! Being a nurse AND being in school still, I have constantly made excuses for not having time to workout and eat healthy. At first, I started doing sessions after work when I was already worn out, but my trainer encouraged me to start waking up early and working out before I go to work. This has been a game changer for me & I no longer have excuses of not having time or being too tired because he has encouraged me to MAKE time! My trainer is so supportive & encouraging and I don’t think I would be able to get through some of the workouts if I was doing them on my own! The meal plan that was made for me was very simple and straight forward, which has made it so much easier for me to prep and to not make excuses and eat whatever is “easy” or whatever is “fast” while going to work and school. I highly recommend it here if you’re struggling to prioritize healthy habits and making excuses like I was. This is just the beginning and I can’t wait to see my progress!"-Ashley
