Fit 2 Sweat Workout and NPC Bikini Contest Results Update
Hi Everyone!
Today's workout is posted below. It's a fun one that should definitely get you sweating! I was planning on repeating it this evening, but Jesse and I went for a run instead. The temperature is back up into the 50s and we wanted to take advantage of it.
Yesterday was my first NPC bikini competition! If you have been following along with my blog you know that I have been training for this competition and sharing my journey and workouts here. I will be posting more about the competition over the next few days, possibly even some video of the actual competition. :)
It was a great experience. I have had several people ask me along the way if it was possible to prepare for a bikini competition without working out in a gym.
I have to say the answer is yes! I came home with two trophies yesterday! I won 2nd place in Bikini Open Class B, and 3rd place in True Novice Bikini Class A.
I will be writing more about the experience tomorrow. :) I hope you have a great night!
