I've decided to offer these resources for new and aspiring competitors in my area by holding my own series of Fitness & Figure Competitor Workshops. Find out how the first one went...

When I first began competing in 2003, I wished there had been more local resources available to me to assist me in my prep and give me peace of mind. Now into my third season as an NPC fitness & figure competitor, I've decided to offer these resources for new and aspiring competitors in my area by holding my own series of Fitness & Figure Competitor Workshops.

Each of these workshops is devoted to teaching new competitors everything they need to know about contest preparation. Topics covered include training & nutrition, choreography & music, tanning, suit & costume selection, hair & makeup, and a live two-hour posing class with individual assessment and critique. The first of these workshops was held January 22, 2005 at the Sport & Health Club in Woodbridge, VA.
