I believe this balance is the key to a successful journey.MFM: What motivates you during competition preparation?LW: Hands down without question, the results! When I first started my fitness journey seeing the weekly changes pushed me to continue. Even to this day, being a fitness pro, it is the changes I see and feel that excite me. With each fitness competition it is my goal to always bring a better package than the last show. MFM: How does your training before a competition differ from the rest of the year?LW: Ironically my training remains the same year round. I love being in the gym so a normal routine consists of lifting 5-6 days a week with a few sessions of fun cardio. The only thing that changes for me is my diet. I make sure to reduce the cheat meals and make healthier choices.MFM: Please give us a quick tip on getting mentally prepared for competitions.LW: Always remember why you started. Going into fitness competitions requires you to mentally be comfortable with yourself and to accept flaws and judgement from others. Be proud of who you are and what you have achieved because if it were easy, anyone would do it!For the bad days that we all have; lace up your favorite shoes; put on your favorite outfit, and rock out to your favorite song!Look for my upcoming videos, books, sponsorship and other projects - Come find me at the Phoenix Europa October 15 & 16th at the Oral IV booth.
