But one outstanding figure is the youthful figure of Marlene Henderson of Taupo. When we heard Marlene was making a surprise entry and competing in the 50+ class at the recent INBA Taupo South Pacific Champs we thought 'What? no, they must've got her class wrong.' But it was true Marlene is over 50. 51 in fact! Marlene hardly looks a day over 40 and has the figure of someone much younger. She only trains 4 days a week and does about 3 x 30min cardio sessions a week. Marlene only prepared for the Taupo comp at 5 weeks out! She credits her body to good genes and having a young husband. Lucky girl, hunky Chris Henderson keeps her young. Marlene is an inspiration for all of us young figures and shows us what a commitment to health and fitness can do to keep us looking young. In this episode of Go Figure TV, we catch up with Marlene as she pumps up and talk to her about her contest preparation and get more insight into her training.
