IFBB Figure Pro Nicole Wilkins was in attendance at the LA Fit Expo and was looking on point. She was there representing Met-RX and will be appearing with them again in Columbus. Nicole updates us with her prep as she looks to defend her Figure International title in just over 4 weeks.
Working the Fit Expo in LA was the first time I have traveled in a while… and I have to say onboard Wi-fi is the best thing ever! I get so much work done since I am forced to sit still for such a long period of time. I worked on Saturday and Sunday for my sponsor Met-RX and got to catch up with some people I hadn’t seen in a few months, which is always nice.
Things have been going great. Last weekend my trainer Kim Oddo came to Michigan and we trained together and went to the Detroit Auto show. Crazy to think I have lived here all my life and had never been before. The Motor City held up to its name – the cars were so amazing, I wanted them all! I posted a few of my favorites on my facebook page.
Nicole’s Birthday Car? lol
I have incorporated a lot of variety in my training over the last year. I do this because I think it is not only important to have strength and endurance, but also balance, flexibility, agility and coordination. In my DVD that (crossing my fingers) should be done by the Arnold, I show how I incorporate all different types of training into my program as I prepared for the Olympia last year. We actually filmed inside the yoga class and took the camera to gymnastics.
In Jan 2010, my goal was to start yoga, which I continue to do one-two times a week. This year I started doing Crossfit. I go to Motor City Crossfit (www.motorcitycrossfit.com) and they have been amazing. I LOVE the competition (not so much with myself but with others lol), the challenge, and feeling like my heart is going to pound out of my chest. My endurance is through the roof right now and it feels awesome!
For anyone who’s in the area and interested, I will be hosting my annual seminar in Flint, MI on Feb 20 this year. It is an informative seminar for those who have done a show before or are thinking of doing one in the future. It is a great way to meet other females who share the same passion. It is really nice to have that friendship and support! You can download the flyer on www.nicolewilkins.com or www.michiganfitnessshows.com.
That’s pretty much it for now, aside from my bday next weekend … 27 ain’t that old… 🙂
Less than Five weeks to go!
