Hi Everyone,I was planning to film a new workout today, but I am not feeling well so I stuck to some light cardio instead. I have a sore throat and headache. My body feels all right, but I didn't want to over-do it. I got in 4.5 miles at a very easy/light pace on the treadmill. Jesse ran outside tonight. I alternated the level of incline during my cardio to vary the intensity throughout the workout. Remember, you don't need a treadmill to get in cardio. Here are some other cardio ideas: Cardio Workouts. My 15 Minute High Intensity Interval Training workout remains one of my favorite cardio challenges. I have repeated this workout and successfully increased my reps on each exercise. It's been a while since I re-tried this so I would like to do it again sometime soon. It can be great motivation to try to improve your number of reps. I am still training for my NPC Bikini Competition, but I had to choose a new show. The show I originally wanted to compete in was at the end of March, but the location changed and I won't be able to travel to it. I want to stick to competing in Natural shows so I selected another competition on May 24th. No matter what show I compete in I will always be doing it naturally. I like that in Natural shows there are no fat burners, diuretic pills, or steroids, and they do drug testing. You can find my original 12 Week Bikini Competition Workout Plan here. I teach yoga tomorrow night after work, but I am planning to also film a new workout so be sure to check back!Melissa

Let's be honest. Bikini competitions are expensive! There are entry fees, tanning appointments, travel to and from the show, hotels, supplements, gym memberships, and nutritionists. Add a sequined competition suit, and you could be looking at $1,500 or more - for ONE show!Competition bikinis from reputable companies are a minimum of $200 {for a basic suit, with no rhinestones} and can run as much as $700 for full rhinestoning. Having grown up sewing with my mom, I decided to attempt my own {to be safe, I gave myself until 6 weeks prior to my show, at which point if I didn't have the construction down, I was going to order one from someone else}. Hours of research and testing different patterns, three completed "practice" suits, and a few burns from the rhinestone applicator later, I had my suit done. My first suit took about 4 weeks to construct; the second I completed in about 6 hours over the course of three days {yay efficiency!}.
