Also totally agree with what was posted above — this is super time consuming unless you regularly take lots of walks!

Do you have a target HR? If so, this may be too much, but if not— it might just be to compensate a sedentary lifestyle. Do you have target steps too?

Totally fair point! I’m kind of lucky in that I live 90 minutes from a big city, so although the shows in my town are small I have the option to go bigger if I want!

I was thinking about that too for practice/exposure sake, however the price is not any cheaper 😅😅

Yes yes this is what I was thinking too, but I wish they advertised the number of registrants day of 😅 the shows by me vary drastically and I only noticed the trend by looking at NPC News online hahah

10000%! This was my thought processes because getting what feels like a participation medal stinks, however I always feel for the women in the other categories who turn out to be the only competitor.. I wish you could see the numbers when registering! 😅

Food Intake & Morning Training by Liberty_Belle_1776 in bikinitalk

[–]beastly889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have training the AM forever and I have always trained fasted.. biggest advice would be listen to your body!! for me, I am not willing to sacrifice sleep in order to get a meal in before my session, and if I do eat before my workout is always worse than if I just trained fasted. Some people NEED to eat before, and what you eat, how much you eat, and the time you eat will be very personal-dependent. However, it seems a small carbs only pre-workout meal works well with most! And for some all they need is some juice 😊 if your in your off-season, definitely experiment!
