BEFORE

I decided to join LVFB because I knew I didn’t have the preparation knowledge to compete in a figure competition. I knew I was not in bad shape , but also knew that the form of training that I was currently doing was not going to get me where I wanted be. Before my 12 week program, my workouts consisted of high intensity circuit training 1 hour sessions. When I was given my cardio and weight training program, I question the intensity level because I was not used to that type of training . Surprise surprise !!! I realized that this new program was a bit more demanding when combining the right diet, cardio sessions and weight workouts. I knew I wanted to succeed at this program, so I listened to my coaches and did what I had to do !

 

AFTER

I knew from the first day we met that our relationship was going to flourish into a good friendship. These to women are amazing. They are there for us at all times and give 100% to everything they do. I admire their dedication to our team and to their careers. There is nothing that gets in their way of meeting or exceeding their goals. They promote happiness, health, success, positive attitude , true friendship, honesty and true love for what they do! Who wouldn’t want to be around this type of person right ? I know I do !!!!!!!! I love you and thank you for everything you have done for me. I’m blessed to have met you both !

LVFB Team
During my 12 week program with LVFB, I had the privilege to meet some of the most amazing, smart, talented, hardworking beautiful women . The unity of our team is like no other. These women go out of their way to help each other with anything. When I decided to compete for the Jay Cutler show, my teammate Samantha offered to let me borrow her competitor suit so I wouldn’t have to spend money . That’s how awesome these women are. During our training sessions, we share our day to day life events including our accomplishments, good times and bad times. I thank you LVFB team for all your encouragement and for being true friends. We are all in it to win it weather you compete or not. You are all amazing !!

Have you ever noticed how things fall into places just the right time?
Or how about the fraze ” when it rains it pours?
Well chances are you are creating your own enviroment!
Think negative and you are attracting negativity to yourself!
Same as if your thought process is positive….everything falls into place….
People that know such things try to stay away from negativity or people that create drama….as simple as that!
It is all a learning process.
Start by turning evey negative thought around and change it into something positive 🙂
I had to go through that a long time ago!
After a nervous breakdown I changed the way I viewed every day life!
Take a deep breath to keep anxiety away and relax your body….
Take yourself into that happy place ( in my case the ocean , listen to the sound of the waves and the wind in your ears…sun on your face…)
Just channel your thoughts into positivity 🙂
No drugs needed!
Keep a note pad with positive reinforcement including goals!
Think yourself healthy when ill!
Research shows this way of thinking speeds up your immune responds and speeds up recovery!!!
Visualization is used today in cancer treatment!
We are more powerful than we think!
It is a gift to us from God!!!
Use it 🙂

In one way or another we knew that Patty White would place first place!
Her performance and focus on what she wants is unmatchable!!!
All we know is that she will go all the way 🙂
After Lehua sprayed all of the girls and Angela used her talent in make up and hair,  we headed to the meeting!
Well….I wasn’t allowed in the meeting …anxiety catching up!!!
I sometimes feel like these girls’s momma and need to be there for support!
No worries…these are adult woman and can handle to be without me for a second or two!
In prejudging Patty was put in the middle which usually means first place…We also knew that she placed second in her height class in  prejudging….
( don’t ask…experience pays of)
Mervat looked amazing …and I was expecting at least a second placing for her!
However she placed 4th place, which is not bad for your second time around 🙂
Little Jade had 34 girls in her category!!!!
WTH!…..
However she looked sexy, graceful and very confident on stage!
Being way under 5 foot tall makes it also hard 🙁
Kelly was put into the wrong category!!!
She registered in masters, but was put into medium open?????!!!!!!
Well….professional as they are there will be some reimbursement!
Lori looked stunning!!!
She did her thang and did it well!!!
Love Lori!
At lunch break she was at the pool with Mervat ( bad influenze) and handed out autographs)
The night show started with all Athletes on stage ….music blasting ( It was one of the best if not the BEST show I have ever watched!!!
Kelly, Lori and Jade looked just beautiful on stage!
I can not believe these girls and their confidence are ours 🙂
Karina so amazing and gorgeous, took fouth place in Bikini !!!
Mervat 4th place in Figure short!
She was simply breath taking!
Patty first place in Masters Figure and second in open Figure!
Breath taking performance and overall appearance!
It was another success for  Las Vegas Figure and Bikini Team!
Group Figure Training is were it’s at 🙂
Can’t get enough of this!!!

Obviously everyone can compete no matter their genetic profile!
Just by going through this program makes you a winner already…
Seriously how many people do you know that are willing to spend most of their free time 7 days per week in the gym?
cook their food ahead and pack it? eating for fuel not pleasure? don’t go partying?
Just by standing on that stage, knowing how far you have come is an incredible feeling!!!
And other people that will ask you later ” why didn’t you place?” or “why haven’t you placed any higher?” have no idea what it took to get you here!
Consistency, focus, persistance, in other words Willpower will get you to reach your goal!
Genetics is the key to get to the highest places, but even if you have   the most perfect genetics out there but willpower is lacking, there will not be a light at the end of the tunnel….
This is not just given to you!
You will have to work for it, no matter what some people will like to tell you!
I call it sales technique 🙂
Genetics being number 1….willpower number 2….we come down to what the judges are looking for!!!
It is symetry and it does not matter if you compete in body building, figure or bikini!
Judges look for a symetric body 🙂
They do not want to see big lower body and hips and small upper body or visa versa!
Yesterday I’ve been asked  if it is the girls decision in which category to compete!
Well there are only a few people that are able to pull of both and can deside what to compete in.
Girls with smaller muscles, nice small midd sections, round gluteus and beautiful legs are always perfect for Bikini!
You are being judged by skin tone, tightness, physical appearance, overall beauty and stage presents.
Figure girls have a little more muscles,  almost like Fitness girls,but are a tiny bit leaner, need to show muscle seperation but shouldn’t be so lean to show muscle striations!
Physique girls are going to replace female Bodybuilding!
These girls have more muscle and are a tad leaner but can not be as lean as Bodybuilders!
Beauty and femininity is always number 1!!!
Look at it as being a Beauty Contest 🙂
Besides  your body and performance is being judged , but also your hair, make up, jewelery, shoes and  suit!
Crazy isn’t it?
It seams to be overwelming at first, but when you put that suit on, get your hair and make up done, wear that bling jewelery…. you can’t help it but feel amazing!
Confidence here we come 🙂

This Saturday 6 of our beautiful girls will be competiting in the Jay Cutler’s Desert Classic at the Palms Hotel in Las Vegas!

So proud of Mervat who is competing the very first time in Figure!
And she is looking absolutely amazing!!!!
Mervat knows this will be practise for the next National Qualifier 🙂
As a single mom Mervat does an amazing job balancing her super busy life with Fitness and still spending quality time with her sweet little daughter.

This girl works super hard and knows what she wants 😉
The intensity she puts into her everyday workouts is awesome to watch!!!
Her appearance on stage will be sexy and very graceful!!!

Her physique  amazing, and her abs are spectacular!!!
There are no excuses for this young lady 🙂
Believe in yourself and make it happen!!!!
Lori will also be a first timer in this Competition!
Lori is an amazing Athlete!
Giving up running to compete …we all know this was very hard to do for her!
This program has given Lori the tools to keep perfecting herself in her endurance sports as well as in her every day life!!!
We will be cheering her on and show her how much we appreciate her 🙂
Jade is as beautiful as she is smart!
Don’t let her sweetness fool you 🙂
This little shy cutie will warm your heart with her amazing smile and graceful looks!
She has an amazing body and a sexiness to go with it!!!
