I came across this group of women on my search for bikini competitions in the UK, it is the first all female contest! Most federations have 3 womens categories(bikini, figure and bodybuilder) and then the majority are male categories. Well it seems that way to me, with the men listed first and then the women are waaaaaay down at the bottom.
Miss Galaxy Universe even has a category for curvy women and yummy mummies! They have a group on Facebook that I briefly browsed and think I’ll join. I say think as Facebook seems to like telling everybody what you’re doing and I’d like to keep it private from people I went to school with. I guess there’s still some stigma against women and weights. Now Jodie Marsh has embraced her muscular physique it seems to have further divided camps. I for one find it inspirational and I’m impressed with her achievements, it takes a lot of hard work and discipline to achieve a toned look.
The Galaxy Universe has its next event mid October which I’m not even close to entering. I’ve looked at the competitors who all have flatter stomachs and generally more tone. I’d like to attend the event if anything for inspiration and focus, possibly ask questions too.
Galaxy Universe run camps where they coach people and I’d benefit from this, so I’ll join the group (hide the action from my wall) . I’d like to take part in one of the camps, hearing the opinions of my physique from a professional would really help my development. Hopefully have the opportunity to make friends. They have photographers at these camps so possibly have a few pictures taken also!
I’ll keep you updated with how this goes – wish me luck!
