Lisa shares the highs, hurdles, and hacks prepping for her first Fit Model bodybuilding competition that is just five weeks away. From long road trips and surprise snack thieves to backyard workouts and new suits that show more cheek than comfort, she takes you behind the scenes of what training really looks like in midlife.
She dives into flexibility, finding joy when the unexpected happens and why showing up, even imperfectly, builds confidence and momentum. Lisa also opens up about recovery and how prioritizing sleep and self-care isn’t optional, it’s foundational.
