 Why I Got Started

I decided to compete after watching my husband's first show and was so excited for everyone competing that I knew in order for me to get the body I always wanted I would have to make a complete commitment to transforming myself.
There was a show upcoming in March, and I decided that it would be my goal. I circled the date on my calendar. One way or another I was determined to do the show, and I knew there was no backing down after I made the commitment. My first show was March 27th where I placed 3rd in my class and then 2 weeks later I did another show and came in 1st in my class!

 How I Did It

For my contest prep I had a lot of help from friends who also competed, and I am so thankful I was surrounded by them. The last few weeks I was doing 2 cardio sessions a day and sometimes if timed allowed would even do a 3rd session.
I never thought getting ready for a contest required so much time before, but by the time you are done working out, posing and doing cardio the hours add up really quickly. The biggest part to my transformation was sticking to my diet and not cheating, which was the hardest part of getting ready for my first show.

| TERMS YOU'LL NEED TO KNOW |
Failure - That point in an exercise at which you have so fully fatigued your working muscles that they can no longer complete an additional repetition of a movement with strict biomechanics. You should always take your post-warm-up sets at least to the point of momentary muscular failure, and frequently past that point.

 Suggestions For Others

The most important thing I learned is that the best things in life are sometimes the toughest to achieve and there is no easy way around transforming yourself. Age is just a number and if you let age determine what you can and cannot do then you are only letting yourself down.
I have met so many nice people and made so many friends from competing that deciding to make the commitment and transforming myself was one of the biggest life changing events in my life.
