Preparing for a bikini competition takes a lot of time and effort. If you’re serious about winning such a competition, you’ll be making some serious sacrifices in order to be a top competitor. Here are some often forgotten bikini competition prep steps that you’ll need to consider in order to win, it’s going to take more than your brain and good looks to win this competition so let’s get started.

Physical Fitness

Those bikini healthy bodies don’t come naturally, in fact, it takes many hours at the gym to get that bikini ready body. Sculpting the abs as well as the thighs and shoulders are all part of preparing for such competitions. Plan to rotate the parts of the body you’re working on so that each area gets an appropriate work out. You may wish to break this into an hour per area or a day per area, either way you look at it, you’re going to be hitting the gym on a daily basis and giving it your all.

Healthy Diet

A healthy diet is part of any competition. Preparing your body for the stamina of scrutiny that it’s going to receive via diet is an important part of preparation. It’s easy to get caught up in the latest diet fad but these don’t last and often leave the dieter feeling devoid of energy and stamina. Focus on healthy choices and smaller portion to ensure that the body is ready for competition. Avoid empty calorie foods and watch for those sneaky pesky calories that are lurking in foods you don’t expect them to be in just waiting to sabotage your diet plan.

It’s also important to avoid alcohol (laden with calories) as well as smoking (causes premature wrinkles and of course eventually cancer and death) when preparing for competition. Avoid foods that cause breakouts such as fried foods and dairy. Your skin and body will thank you.

Plan to stay as hydrated as possible with plenty of water. Water makes up a huge percentage of your body and will help to keep your skin looking supple and hydrated. It’s also a healthy option for you during this time. If you don’t care for water consider adding in some citrus fruits to your drink and sip it throughout the day to remain hydrated.

Appearance

In addition to eating right and following a physical fitness regimen, it’s important to consider your appearance. Start with a bikini that flatters your specific body. Not all bikini’s are good for all body types. You may need to try a few different ones on to get the one that gives you the right look. Next consider your hair style. Does it give the appearance of a bikini clad gal who is bikini ready? or does it need some work? Select a style that is quick, easy and bikini worthy.

Your makeup should reflect you not the makeup brand that is being worn. Select summer makeup styles that enhance the appearance while not being overwhelming. Opt for beach friendly tones as well as waterproof eye makeups that won’t run when wet.

Fingernails can show how you care for your body. If you suffer from jagged or ragged edged nails get a manicure. There are many natural looking manicures available on the market today so go out and get one that will give you a healthier appearance. You can even bling those nails.

Tanning

While having a healthy glow is important, it’s also important to recognize that the sun can also cause premature aging and wrinkles. Today’s healthy bodies are turning to alternative forms of tanning such as spray on tans and using tanning beds for short periods of time to give the look of a healthy tan without the damage of the sun rays. Remember to cover your face to avoid getting snake skin wrinkles.

Poise

There aren’t enough words to stress this point. Without poise, you have nothing. You need to be able to get up on that stage and shine. Your personality needs to show through and you need to exude confidence while you’re on stage. If you don’t have poise, learn to fake it in a hurry. Poise is like your charm, your charisma, your glow. Over do it is better than under doing it here…
