Get The Edge Pre-Competition Workshop Update Written By Lindy Olsen www.lindyolsen.com

It was so great to see so many future champions at the workshop on Saturday 15th at the Musashi Performance Centre in Notting Hill.  We were very lucky to have industry specialists, like Maria McCarter (ANB Vic promoter), Lindy Olsen Pro Figure and Fitness Model and 5 x Natural World Champion, Vicki Arief (choregrapher and posing coach), Greg Dolman (Master Trainer and Lindy's personal coach) amongst other special guests sharing their knowledge, passion and dedication to this lifestyle of ours that we all love so much.  The workshops are there for ANYONE from ANY federation who wants to get an insight into the life, training and nutrition of what it takes to get into the best shape of your life and KEEP it!  Even those who don't want to compete went away with so many tips and tricks to help them achieve the body they've only ever dreamed of. Everyone who attended contributed so freely and I was overwhelmed by everyones stories of tears and triumphs, I'm sure the best is yet to come from many of these fantastic people.

I for one had sore abs and a sore jaw from so many laughs and I must say that the more we continue to hold these workshops, the more inspired I am by everyday people who want to make a difference in this world of ours.

Special thanks must go to our awesome guests, Tony Haranas and Aaron Braithwaite for all their support.

So looking forward to the next one in Sydney on the 19th Feb!
Hope to see you all there!

PS:  Here's a message of thanks from one of the ladies who attended...

Hey lindy,
I just wanted to thankyou for yesterday..what a great day at the workshop, and the rest of the team!!!
Its been 8months of letting my emotions over take and binge eat:( (its like I became addicted to food) And when you shared your story and started talking about your first comp and getting on stage...it took me back to mine, and made me remember that feeling..my god I have never felt so high in my life running off that stage with a trophy!

It didn't matter what place it had written on the front of it, I had never had one in my life before and the overwhelming feeling of the highest happiness I have even felt to this day!!! And u took me back there yesterday and made me wake up and think what the heck have I done to my body (as I have put on 12+kg's) long story short I have my motivation back:) and I AM going to do it and will get back up on stage this year. And I guess I just wanted to thank you so, so much for trigging that spirit in me once again.

Another testimonial...
