Are you thinking about competing in your first bikini competition but don’t know where to start? Preparing for a bikini competition can be an exhilarating and nerve-wracking experience, but with the right guidance and support, you can achieve your goals.
First and foremost, research different organizations, their requirements and the judges criteria. Look at the most recent contests and see who won. The National Physique Committee (NPC) is the biggest and one of the most well-known leagues among amateurs, you can find all the information on NPC News Online.
Next, take an honest look at your own body. Building muscle is a must for bikini competitions. Even if you don’t see changes right away, it’s normal. But once you get everything in order, you’ll be amazed at the difference in your body.
Investing in a reputable coach is crucial for having a good experience. A good coach will tailor a program to you, advise you on everything from diet and exercise to poses and how to carry yourself on stage. They will also help you find the right competition, evaluate your body type and determine how long it will take you to get ready. Do your research, check credentials, feedback, and services offered. Remember, reputable coaches will probably cost more but they usually get good results and are careful with your body.
Choose a contest date and give yourself at least 16 weeks to train. This will give you enough time to prepare and allow your coach to help you make the best decision.
Take into account all the costs associated with competing. There will be expenses such as the NPC competitor’s card, contest registration, hotel, travel costs, suit, jewelry, shoes, tan, makeup, hair, stage photos and coach. Make sure to budget accordingly and plan ahead.
Lastly, leap wholeheartedly into it. There can be no half-efforts now, the time has come to “put up or shut up.” Trust the process, stick to the plan, and don’t be afraid to ask lots of questions along the way. Remember, we’re all in this together. With the right guidance and support, you can achieve your goals and become the strongest, fittest version of yourself.
