Hey RX Girls!
What a month it’s been! On March 16th I compete
d at the 1st Phorm St Louis Pro Figure promoted by Jack and Ann Titone. The hotel was great, venue was perfect, and the event was really well organized. Needless to say it was the first time I have ever been done a night show before 8pm – amazing! Coming home with a 3rd place finish was icing on the cake and all the motivation I needed to gear up for the next round of insanity, the Toronto Pro Supershow! With only 7 weeks left until the TPSS, there is really no rest time, but certainly some opportunity for improvement :)
This past weekend I had the opportunity to judge the Nova Scotia Amateur Bodybuilding Championships (state level equivalent – photo attached) in Halifax, Nova Scotia. What a great show! With over 200 competitors from all over the province, boasting a bikini short class of 22, this event was yet another reason why I love the fitness industry – the enthusiasm is contagious, and people just love to compete! My sponsor Nutrabolics had amateur level athletes competing in the event as well, with Jonni Shreve capturing the Men’s Heavyweight and overall titles, Sarah Harrison taking 2nd in Bikini Tall and Danielle Macpherson going home with a 2nd in women’s bodybuilding – well done!!
So now that those events are over I am looking forward to attending CHFA (Canadian Health Food Association) Expo as well as getting my next round of summer seminars organized for June/July. Yes it may only be April, but I like to be organized and map out topics, read through attendee questions, and gi
ve people the best possible information in the time we have. I am also very happy to announce that I will be teaming up with Canadian magazine Muscle Insider as an online columnist -- cannot wait to work with yet another Canadian publication, and spread the word of health and fitness to the masses J In their next issue, Muscle Insider will be announcing the winners of their Ripped 100 contest which is the magazine’s nods for the 100 most ripped men and women in the world! This will include the winners of the Ripped 100 making cameo appearances on the Saturday night after the Toronto pro show. Exciting!
Have a great April everyone! Get outside, take on a new running route, or try a new training regime – Spring is the best time to revitalize a stale routine and make the most of the sunshine :) Happy Training!
Yours in health,
Natalie
