OK, I hope this isn't a dumb question, but I noticed that when you were doing your shows, your body looked good when you started and it did not really change much over the duration. Most of the progress pics I see, thier body looks very different when they start. Sorry if I sound dumb, I have not competed, so I don't really know. But what is it you do differently when you compete and diet, because you look good when you start and good when you are at the end. So what do you do to your diet or training that is different. You look like you could compete right now.

Hi, Gina, I would find it useful to hear about what the local level judges look for. Some of the things they want to see are obvious but what about the more subtle things such as toenail polish or feet together. I know you are big on the details and you always showed a VERY put together package on stage, but I'm referring to the local level and someone who is a beginner. It takes show after show to figure out all of the details that need to be completed, maybe a discussion on this topic will save some of us from some silly mistakes :)

Hi Gina,
I just want to know more about your journey on becoming a Pro figure competitor. You are such an inspiration. What does it take to even get to that level. What are the key factors as there are so many ladies competing in the sport. It really obviously takes so much dedication and determination to do really well if you really want to make it.

Hi Gina
Ok this might seem like an obvious question to some but I can't seem to figure out what training schedule you follow. Do you just concentrate on say like shoulders one day, legs the next,then maybe back & abs the day after with some cardio everyday? I don't know. So maybe just a few pointers on a weeks routine & how to switch things up. My daughter & I did the shoulder workout today that you & Jess posted. It was killer!! Love every minute of it! Thanks!
Great questions ladies... I will get a podcast going soon and try to touch on as many questions I can and those I don't will tap into on the next one... :)

I am just listening to your podcast and you have such a great way of explaining everything! I am not sure if you are going to do another podcast but if you are I have a question.
Why is it after your competition diet is your appetite so big and you never feel full? You may never feel this way because you don't have issues with over eating but for someone like me who has been overweight and sometimes my eating gets out of control I just find since I did my competition I feel like I do not have the ability to feel full when I eat. Do you know what is going on physiologically and why this happens? I have heard of other people having this issue too.
Also, after hearing about when you first got into figure I was wondering if you have pictures from those days and if you would be willing to post some from the beginning of your figure career or even from your highschool days?
Thanks Gina!
Kerri!! So glad you enjoyed the podcast and found everything clear and easy to understand! Great question and I will definitely touch on that in another podcast soon! This thread can continue with podcast q&a 's so I have material to cover.. Ladies, bring on the questions... Kerri, great questions and stay posted! I will also definitely work on getting some of my childhood, high school photos posted too! May have to wait until I get back from Italy, as I need to find them, scan them, etc... But I definitely will do! :)
