Holly Elizabeth fitness Model, Figure Competitor
I began weight training when I was 15, about that same time I picked up my first fitness magazine. I was hooked. Since then I had always dreamed of competing. Last year, I saw an ad for the Ms. Bikini Universe pageant and Fitness Model Universe Pageant in Oxygen Magazine. It was only eight weeks away, but I decided to go for it.
I put my heart and soul into my training and diet for those eight weeks. I went into it with no expectations, just proud that I could be there and stand on stage with all these fit beautiful women. To my complete surprise, I came in 5th place for both competitions! Being on that stage was so exhilarating, I know I will compete for many years to come.
Fitness takes hard work, dedication, and passion. If you don't have all these things, you will not be successful in it. It takes the will to say "no I'm not going to go out to eat", there are many sacrifices, but it is worth every one. There is no better feeling than having your body the best it can be.
To know that what you worked for really did pay off and you feel as if you can accomplish anything. I also love the feeling I have after I get in a good workout. It gives me a renewed sense of energy and strength.
This year I will be competing in the Fitness Model division at Fame world in Toronto. I am also planning on competing at the Ms. Bikini Universe pageant again and Ms. Bikini America pageant in the fall. I also want to start training to enter fitness competitions. I am already trying to think up a theme for a routine. My biggest goal is to become a recognized fitness personality. I have always dreamed of being in my favorite fitness magazines. I would also love to be sponsored by a supplement company.
