After careful consideration and months of research, you’ve decided that you want to compete in a fitness competition. You’ve contacted a competition coach, a posing coach, you’ve chosen the federation you want to compete in, the category that best fits you, and you’ve got your eyes set on a competition show date. Being that this is your first time competing, you probably don’t know what the process is like mentally. Below are the top 50 things that run through my mind as I prep for my very first Bikini Fitness Competition.
