What is a figure competitor?

A figure competitor is a female who lives a lifestyle of complete wellness. She trains with weights, does cardio, and eats a clean, balanced diet to achieve an overall fit, lean, healthy physique.

Training and preparing for a figure competition is intense and disciplined. The journey to get there is no less grueling than a fitness athlete or bodybuilder’s program.

In most federations or divisions, she is judging upon her overall athletic development, muscle tone, and symmetry. A figure competitor is low in body fat without being “skinny” and is lacking deep muscle separation and or striations normally seen in bodybuilding. Her skin and skin tone, hair and facial beauty are also taken into consideration.

Also a factor is the figure competitor’s ability to present herself with, poise, grace and confidence walking and posing on a stage in 5” heels!
