Fitness Magazine Cover Model Search 2015 - Post 1

-
Lately I have been addicted to watching America's next Top Model (ANTP)
I have come to the conclusion that, each of the applicant for the USN Face of Fitness should also star in a 10 episode programme. Where we tell our story, and we are coached by various professionals in the industry and then the best female wins. However this is only for the cover but I am taking ideas from Tyra Banks.  

This year i am entering the USN Face of Fitness Competition. 


Over the next few weeks I will be sharing my story and giving reasons as to why I believe i would make an amazing and inspiring Fitness Model. More importantly why i would be a great ambassador for USN as well as Fitness magazine. 

First Letter for Fitness: .... F.... 
Fun.... Fit ... Fabulous... Fighter ... Freedom  

I was glued to the television when Miss South Africa or Miss Universe was on. 
I always wanted to enter Miss Tinkerbell, but never had the opportunity. I wanted to be a beauty princess, but my height did not allow me to, and then a gained quite a bit of extra fat. 

If you have followed me on Facebook (Inspired by May or Maylene Kim May), Twitter(@inspirebymay) or Instagram (inspirebymay); you would have noticed my transformation. 

I may not have the height to enter Miss South Africa, but my sister reminded me a long time ago that I could still step on stage and become Miss Bikini, and then go onto enter Worlds.

I have stepped on stage, and I love this new world of fitness i have found. I love more so the fact that i receive a lot of positive feedback from many woman locally and internationally (this is the power of social media and the pleasure of having internet). 


My goal is to use this is a platform to inspire more females to live a happier, healthier, fitter and more fulfilled life. 
I am also an image consultant, personal trainer, yoga instructor, make up artist and completed my diploma in communications.

What does having all this education mean if i cannot share my knowledge and experience with the world? 


I have already posted my first view which was:

1. Yes you need to have an amazing physique, but there has to be more substance to the person on the cover i believe. 
I say "amazing" physique but i am realistic in the sense that as a Fitness cover model, I want you to love the body you have, and train hard and eat correctly so you will always "love", "appreciate", and strive to improve on your physique. 

I would not push you to stand on stage, nor force anyone to do any exercise they hate, but I will encourage and inspire you to find a form or exercise you do enjoy. As a qualified personal trainer, i will take the time out to work with you, put a programme and eating plan together that will make you happy. 

Living a fit lifestyle is not about what you have to give up, it is more about what you gain, and that is how you need to see your lifestyle changes. 

Fitness should be Fun... you need freedom of choice when it comes to the activity you choose... you need to have a fighting spirit to succeed... as a female you should always look fabulous (like confidence it is a state of mind...) 


Next letter .... Fitness... Letter I ....

10 Keys to Happiness as a Freelancer or work bitch

-
It simply dawned on me now sitting at The Common Room ... as a freelancer we can be seen as the whores of work places. The only difference being we do not get paid for any sexual favours, but we do get paid to do a job using the talents and skill sets we have. In my mind, that means make me your work bitch, I will work for you but no strings attached. I will satisfy you in ways no one else can because I love what I do and that is what makes me great! I am a personal trainer, yoga teacher and an image consultant, so people pay for me, my time and services I offer. You are either reading this as a freelancer wanting advice, or you are playing with the idea of being a freelancer. Either way, you are looking for what we all crave; Freedom. As William Wallace in the movie Braveheart said " Your heart is free... have the courage to follow it." Do not misunderstand living as a freelancer you work five times harder, you crave knowledge, you are competitive with everyone an...

Fitness Females are friendly and supportive!

Good Morning … What a beautiful #FitnessFriday this is going to be! Totally kicked ass at the gym, loved it… Until I had one more exercise to do… This is what happened: A happy friendly Maylene: “Hi, could you please tell me how many sets you have left? Or if I can use the machine in between your sets?” Chick on the machine, gets off and replies, loudly and quite rudely: “Why can you use an other machine, I am very busy and now you want to disturb my workout, there are other machines in the gym!” Ahem… if there was another machine I would use it. AND PEOPLE SAY FITNESS CHICKS WHO COMPETE ARE BITCHY AND THINK A LOT OF THEMSELVES???? Every female I have met who loves fitness have been kind, caring, understanding and supportive of each other. Even if we all step on stage together, we are friendly. When we compete, the other girls support from the audience side. WHY? Because: We are confident and comfortable in our skin. We have all been through our own journey and...
