Melanie’s first fitness competition (figure fitness)

Melanie competed in Mike Francois Figure Fitness and Bodybuilding Show in Olentangy High School in Powell.

It was her very first show so she really didn’t know what to expect but despite lack of experience she did great. All the hard work at the gym and months of preparation (read: eating really strict diet) she showed great physique and confidence . Check out a slide show here

She was called out with the first group which meant she had caught judges attention. She looked good on the stage and was able to go head to head with more experienced competitors. I was really proud of her.

It is very hard on the body (and mind) to compete in shows but at the same time it builds you stronger mentally and physically.

I am sure Mel will be back at the show next year ready to get home a trophy.
