Blogger Challenge #4 – My Training Schedule

OMG! I am so delinquent on these Fitness Cheerleader Blogger Challenges! Here is my training schedule for the Texas State Naturals Championship for female bodybuilding (bikini division):

Monday: Shoulders/Abs
Tuesday: Legs
Wednesday: Back/Abs
Thursday: Shoulders/Chest/Triceps
Friday: Hamstrings/Glutes/Abs
Saturday: Arms
Sunday: Off

Cardio – Stepper 45 minutes at level 7, 5 days per week. (Off days are usually Sunday and one of the leg days)

Operation Ass Lift – 400 lunges with 50 lb. bar, 5 days per week (Off days are usually Sunday and one of the leg days)

This is my (ha, ha) light schedule, as I am 8 weeks out from competition. Somewhere between weeks 6-4 the following things get added into the schedule:

More cardio. Depends on how my body looks, but I will probably have to do another 30 minutes of cardio. My trainer, Daniel, might give me different cardio to do too. Last time I had to do sprints, for example.
Tanning. Yes, tanning. I will go to a tanning salon 2-4 times per week, for about 20 minutes, to get a base tan so the spray on tan sticks better the day of the show. There is actually a trick to this: you have to turn around like a rotisserie chicken so you don’t have funny tan lines.
Posing classes. Yeah, I said it. Someone has to teach you how to be sassy in 5″ heels and a bikini. Each division (bikini, figure, fitness, physique, etc.) has their own poses to learn and it’s way harder than it looks! I started practicing on my own in the Group X room at the gym yesterday. Got some interesting looks, let me tell you!

So that’s my training schedule. How about you?
