The Trusted Fitness Guide

Hey guys!

While my interview will still be on www.thetrustedbeautyguide.com under the celebrity special section, my fitness and diet articles will be transferred over to their sister site called www.thetrustedfitnessguide.com. I will still be their "resident fitness expert" for both sites, but be sure to check out the new one which is up and running!

Dear Bikini Competitors,

After looking at some of the pictures from the Flex Magazine Bikini Model search held this year at the Olympia, I just threw up a little bit in my mouth. Seriously ladies, whoever told about 90% of you that it was a GOOD idea for you to get on stage looking like that, that person is NOT your friend.

Yes, this may sound judgmental and harsh...that’s because it is. Every time you step on a stage wearing a bikini and are being judged on your general appearance that is exactly what you signed up for so chill out and listen.

SOME of you looked great, toned, tanned, poised and pretty. I say some, because that was a very select few. The rest of you had NO business being up on a stage calling yourself a bikini model. It’s unfair to the girls who actually worked hard and brought their A game.

Listen, its bad enough that the NPC and IFBB are making figure girls look like any chick off the beach who goes to the gym a few days a week and does 3 sets of 10. But now we have set our standards so low that our "Bikini Competitors" look like any soccer mom with 4 kids, a boob job and too much make up. What happened to excellence?! And no, excellence does not include the use of steriods, but it includes hard work and dedication. I believe that the NPC and IFBB are a good example for what our great country is coming to...mediocrity. Seriously, when you go to an NBA game are you going to watch some sucky guys straight out of a local park playing a game of pick up??? NO you are not, you are going to watch a few select hard working and gifted professional athletes showcase their talents. Why the hell shouldn’t we expect the same out of our figure, fitness, body building and yes, bikini competitors???? I mean honestly, did they tell Vince Carter to stop it when he dunked over a 7 foot man at the Olympics because it was too unobtainable?? I think not.

I entered the sport of figure to be elite, to push my self far past my comfort zone physically and mentally, to be the best, NATURALLY. Not to have what the NPC calls now an "obtainable" look so that any sloppy chick in Walgreens who picks up a copy of Oxygen Magazine can look at the cover and say to themselves, "wow I could do that". NO YOU CAN"T, YOU'RE LAZY AND YOU DRINK DIET COKE ON THE ELIPTICAL YOU UNATHLETIC WASTE OF PERFECTLY GOOD GYM SPACE.

Wow, that felt good!

Back to my point....Bikini "Models" (and I use the term loosely) TIGHTEN UP. I understand that many of you just had kids and are getting back in shape and want to show off what you got, and more power to you. Just PLEASE, before you get back on stage in a bikini at a renowned event such as the Olympia, make sure you are not still in the "getting back into shape" stage, and are actually in shape.

Feel free to email me your pictures next time you want an HONEST opinion about how you look. The truth hurts, but its better than embarrassing your self and contributing to the lowered standards in our country.

For proof that I'm not "hating" on anybody here is the link to the worst display of "bikini competitors" I have seen since WWII (now that’s a long time):

Also, I have to ask...When the F did cellulite become "in style"??? Get it together people.
