I had no idea what's involved so I made a point to sit down at the Nationals to watch the girls go through the poses so now at least I have an idea of what to do.
But I do have a wee angel by the name of Niki Taylor who took the time to come and give me some pointers on Monday eventhough she was on holiday in Akl. Niki decided not to compete at the Nationals, she won the Sth Island Shape and has some awesome routines under her belt, but was still ok to come and show me some Shape poses.
I'm so glad she popped in as I learned alot from her advice, thank you Niki. She also gave me some pointers on my routine. Its a new routine that Tony Ligaliga made up for me and with some tweaks from Niki, lets hope I can pull it off as I'm no dancer! its 50% of the mark so its quite important. Don't expect anything too sexy and raunchy ala Teresa Edwards style! only Teresa can pull something like that off.
Training and diet has been going ok. I'm about ready for another magnum now! I haven't gone hard out with cardio as I know the judges aren't looking for too much muscle definition for the Shape class so have been maintaining what I have but have tried to flatten myself out so I don't look too bulky. Not sure if I might still be too big for this class but we'll have to see what judges are going for with another option I suppose.
Hope you'll come and cheer for me at the show, its on at 2.30pm so plenty of time for you to have lunch and pop along in the afternoon to check out some hot bods (other than mine, ha ha)!
Look forward to hearing you!!
