WOMEN'S ATHLETIC BEACHBODY CLASS (BIKINI)
WHAT ARE THE JUDGES LOOKING FOR?
The Women’s Athletic Beachbody (previously Athletic Bikini) is the next step up for competitors from the standard Beach Body look. We have added the new Masters Athletic Beachbody O35s to allow O35s competitors a category that they can compete in to celebrate the more mature physique while be putting into the same age bracket as there fellow competitors. Here the judges are looking for leaner condition while still showing an athletic shape that flows throughout. Added muscle will be scored but not looking over muscular.
