Hi Guys,

I receive lot’s of emails for tips on fitness shoots & Stage prep.

So here is how I got myself and my body ready for this Fitness Shoot I did a couple of months ago in Singapore with Blackwater Photography.

The day of the Photo shoot I drank little water maybe 1/2 litre were I usually would of had 2 litres at least by that afternoon, just to dry out a little-not to extreme and I cut down sodium for 48 hrs before to help with bloat and water retention.

Video On Pumping Back Muscles for Photos-Singapore Fitness Model

The Photographer Kin wanted a rear toned look, so for extra definition I applied a Jan Tana Glaze which gives my muscles a shine for added Separation and Definition, then to pump my Lats, Rhomboids and bring in my core I performed a set of Plank Single rows to get the blood flowing and muscles popping with 10kgs dumbbells

As you can see Fitness Shoots are very different than the Beauty Shoots where make up and hair is the focus we Bikini and Figure competitors have to get a sweat on to get our body rocking which of course is the main focus.

And here’s a great tip! My meal the night before was grilled chicken and asparagus, Asparagus is a great diuretic-again to cut out bloating! As if you ate Broccoli which is fantastic and full of Fibre BUT this will bloat your tummy a little bit more on the photos so better meal for after the shoot.

Squats with Single Shoulder Press (Cleans)

If your like me and serious on your exercise routine (even on your travels!) and looking to replenish and recover straight after training, the coffee and juice bar offer not only a great place to hang out and cool down while surfing the free wifi but it also offers quality branded protein shakes made anyway you like.

Training Delts/Arnold Presses in Phi Phi Island

There is a daily membership to pay for going to the gym unless you are staying at the Phi Phi Banyan Villa is quite steep for island life but this is well worth the money.

While training to become a Raw Combat Instructor in Thailand, Bali, Malaysia and Japan last summer I was lucky enough to accompany Luke Holloway (Founder of Raw) to the children’s orphanage attached to the women’s prison in Phuket, which rely 100% on donations, and are not funded by the jail or government.

It was a amazing experience and for just 1 afternoon of not doing the usual Phuket ritual of shopping or hitting the beach I have instead memories that I will never forget and the warmth of the children’s smiles which will always stay with me
