Nicole Gray -
Figure Competitor
My journey has been a long one. Ever since I
was a child I had body image issues and an
unhealthy relationship with food. Whether it
was under eating, binge eating or wasting
away doing hours of cardio, I was never
satisfied with the results. After years of
struggling and countless fitness failures, I
began reading about Body Builders and Figure
Competitors. I knew that was the physique I
wanted so I stepped off the treadmill and
into the weight room. I developed a passion
and love for the sport.
My training philosophy is pretty
simple...You get what you give! I always
exert maximum effort, push and challenge
myself to improve each workout. I keep my
workouts intense---It’s all about QUALITY
over quantity. You don’t have to spend hours
in the gym, but make good use of the time
you're there.
I keep my diet super clean all year round.
Sure, I indulge and treat myself to some
goodies on occasion but keeping the diet
consistently clean is the key to success. My
diet is a balance of lean proteins (ex: egg
whites, chicken, tuna) complex carbohydrates
(ex: oats, brown rice) and healthy fats (ex:
eevo, flax, omegas)....those are my favorite
staples. Of course veggies are a must and I
make sure to drink plenty of water. |
