I have a friend who competes in beauty pageants and has done them ever since she was little.
As a little girl all my friend had to worry about was not biting her nails, growing her hair long and not crying in front of the judges.
Now as a woman, she struggles with the body element of it. My friend can no longer eat pancakes and syrup all day and stay thin. Also, she is now competing against physically fit women. I have encouraged our sister to start certainly working out. The problem as I see it is that she just can’t stay with any sort of fitness routine. My friend also is not genuinely enjoyable at self-motivation. She needs to get herself to a gym that offers people personal training. I did locate for her a personal training center, but it is over an hour from her house. To me, it is worth making the long drive. The personal training center has a program called pageant fitness, which is so cool. They have a personal trainer that works with pageant attendees and helps tone them in areas that are desirable. The trainer targets abs, legs and rear end. The muscles are about being strong, but also looking more ladylike in appearance. I called the gym and they do told me my friend should go at least many times a week. This is quite a drive and not an easy commitment for her. I am debating on doing the fitness program as a kind of moral support for my friend. After school I could load her in the vehicle and we could head off for the gym together. I am not a pageant competitor and never have been, but I would be willing to take the fitness class too.
