My First Figure Competition Diet at 45 Years Old

I'm so thrilled to be sharing my story of how I competed and WON my First Figure Competition with the help of Karen Sessions - Figure Coach and her amazing figure competition diet.

You see, my daughter Vanessa took me to my first figure competition, and then she started to compete... and then I got the urge to give it a try! I started my figure competition diet at 142 pounds. With the help of Karen Sessions - Figure Coach I was able to drop a shocking amount of body fat and compete at the lean, muscular weight of 113 pounds!

Now that I'm in control of my figure competition diet and training I'm able to keep my off-season weight about a healthy 125-28 pounds. I love the way I feel and look! I get a lot of compliments about how good I look at my age!

It's so easy now. I love my figure competition diet. I eat 6 clean meals a day consisting of lean protein, veggies, good fats and complex carbs and have one cheat meal once a week. I follow my figure prep diet plan EXACTLY as Karen, my figure coach, lays it out for me.

In my figure competition diet there are sacrifices such as NOT eating processed foods and putting other things aside to have time to train. I overcome them by keeping focused on me and what I want to look like and feel like. I love my figure competition diet and training program. I train 5 days a week and add in cardio to help burn more body fat. Here's a basic rundown of my figure prep training:

I love doing the stepmill, treadmill, ARC Trainer, elliptical, rowing aerobics and spin classes. I LOVE variety so I don't get bored and my figure coach says the variety keeps my body off guard so fat burning is easier.

Since placing First in a regional show, I qualified to go into a provincial show which is a HUGE accomplishment!

I do use a few natural supplements in my figure competition diet to boost my energy and fat loss, and to keep my lean muscle. My figure competition diet supplement program consist of protein powder, BCAAs, fat burners, creatine, and glutamine. I pretty much supplement with anything my figure coach, Karen recommends to me.

My First Figure Competition Cardio Workout

While a great figure competition diet is the secret to a figure-ready body, there are other factors involved. If you are like I was and completely confused about how to do an effective figure competition cardio workout then I can shed some light on how to lose fat while you get figure-ready. Hey, I did it for the first time at 45 years old and WON my contest... I think you can do it too.

There is a lot of controversy between slow and steady cardio and high-intensity cardio. I actually used BOTH forms in my figure competition diet program with Karen Sessions - Figure Coach. However, to really find out what works for your body, you should really try both methods for a few weeks. Be sure to take photos and keep notes of your cardio sessions so you can compare them.

I know a lot of my fellow competitors love doing their boot camp or combat classes that inject high-intensity cardio to lose body fat overall, and some classes put a lot of focus on the abs, hips, thighs, and glutes. With my figure training and cardio with Karen I was able to keep one combat class in a week.

a very popular figure cardio workout for fat loss is running. However, in my figure prep my figure coach found that to really get that stubborn fat to move I had to vary my pace at certain intervals. I basically started at a warm-up pace jogging and after a couple of minutes I increased it to a sprint, then slowed it back down to a light jog. I kept this rotation going 7 to 8 times which equaled to about 20-30 minutes cardio time.

I found this back-and-forth interval method, often called High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) to be really effective is getting those trouble spots to respond. An added plus is that this jacks your metabolism up so much that your body continues to burn calorie for up to an hour, or until you eat a meal.

My figure coach also had me to implement circuit training because it's also a great figure competition cardio workout. With circuit training you can concentrate on a specific body part for fat burning. Do jackknife crunches for abs, squats for legs and glutes, and pulldowns for back. Do each of these exercises for a full minute, one right after the next, then rest for a minute, then repeat the circuit. Shoot for 20 minutes circuit training time and increase it to 30 minutes after a few weeks and just see the difference it makes in your body.

Really, give some of these figure competition cardio tricks a try with your figure competition diet and you'll be losing fat, shaping up, and be figure-ready in no time!

Figure Competition Diet Sample Menu (by my Figure Coach)

I must tell you, I was somewhat surprised at my figure competition diet with Karen Sessions. I found it to contain enough calories to keep me satisfied AND lose body fat. I was quite impressed at how the simple process of eating certain formatted meals at certain times literally sparked my body to just melt fat in just weeks.

My figure competition diet plan provided by my figure coach contain a variety of healthy food options such as grilled chicken, roasted turkey, veggie omelets, chicken-stuffed potatoes, roasted garlic asparagus, plus a whole lot more. Your diet plan doesn’t have to be boring and bland.

Here's a quick and basic rundown of one of my best figure competition diet plan mapped out by my figure coach...

Sample of my first figure competition diet:

* Meal #1 - Breakfast - Veggie omelet with a piece of fruit and a bowl of oatmeal on the side

* Meal #2 - Mid-Morning Snack - Strawberry protein drink blended with fresh strawberries, water, and ice

* Meal #3 - Lunch - Grilled and seasoned chicken breast and sweet potato and green beans on the side

* Meal #4 - Mid-Afternoon Snack - Chocolate peanut butter protein shake made with natural peanut butter

* Meal #6 - Dinner - Grilled steak seasoned to taste and roasted garlic asparagus on the side

* Meal #7 - Snack - Whey protein drink mixed with natural peanut butter and sugar-free chocolate

I found this figure competition diet menu to be da-bomb!

From Karen's encouraging I made sure to drink a lot of water. Drinking water helps your figure competition diet plan work better because it flushes fat and toxins out your system!

In my figure competition diet my figure coach allowed one cheat day a week. It was great because I got to spend time with my family and enjoy a weekend night get-a-way and splurge. However, after several weeks into my figure contest prep my cheat meal was replaced by a re-feed meal.

The constant diet tweaking prevented my body from adapting to any one uniform format, and I kept making changes and progressing weekly. It was just amazing to visually watch the transformation.

Figure Competition Posing

A solid figure competition diet is critical in your success, but Karen expressed the importance of figure posing and how to display each pose and transition correctly. When I was at my first figure contest I found out that you can have a great body, but if you don't know how to display it with proper posing tactic, then you can quite easily get overlooked.

My figure coach instructed me that I had to pose in a way that would highlight my strong body parts to the judges, and hide my weak body parts. I also put a lot of personality into my figure posing, showcasing my poise, charm, and charisma.

The first pose I learned was casual pose or model pose. It's a feminine pose held slightly to the side and you extend one extended. One arm extended downward and hand is placed on your hip closest to the stage backdrop. My figure coach taught me that this pose allows competitors to remain "in character" without having to be in a full rigid pose.

One thing I learned is when the head judges calls "relax", you should never relax. Rater than relaxing we were to go into the casual or model pose. The posing itself was quite a workout!

In my figure competition posing I had to learn turning and transition on stage. It was easier than I expected because the head judge will tell you which way to turn such as quarter turn to the right. All the turns are to the right until you eventually make a complete circle.

After my fellow competitors and I went though our posing as directed by the head judge were gave a quick smile and wave and exited the stage.

The fear that I had about my figure posing was just anxiety. I had it all in the bag just by knowing the few basic commands.

Overall I learned that a well-balanced figure competition diet in combination with figure cardio, training and posing is what will win you a figure contest.
