How many times have you flipped through the pages of fitness magazines only to see beautifully sculpted models with little to no clothes on? It seems like every year the magazines get more risqu? on the image they are trying to portray to their readers. Are you one of those fitness buffs who would love to compete but are afraid of strutting across stage in the smallest of bikinis? Or have you been in the industry for a while and the only claim to fame is by bearing it all? If so, this article is for you.

I have been in the industry for over 14 years, and over the years the one common trend I have noticed is that the image of fitness models has turned to sexier and sexier images. I am not sure when they decided that fitness was about being naked, but to me being fit and healthy means you are healthy from the inside out. Just because I can look amazing in a bikini does not mean I need to bare all my assets for the whole world to see. In fact, I was steered in the wrong direction myself. I was told by many that the way to become well known in the industry was to pose nearly nude and in very sexy positions. Need I tell you that this is not the way to a long-term career. This may work for some people but if you have ever noticed that their careers are very short lived. I want to share with you that you can keep it clean and sassy and have long term success. In fact, returning to your innocence will help you have a promising career in other aspects of life.

When girls are first starting out in the industry, you will be approached by many people that if you do sexy photo shoots that you will be a star and be on the cover of magazines all over. For a very small percentage of girls, this may work but your career will be short lived. So you look the best you have ever looked and you want to do risqu? photo shoots? My suggestion is to save them for your significant other. I am sure that he or she will absolutely love them. You can show off those great glutes and chiseled abs in other ways. When you keep it classy and sassy, you will be surprised at who?s heads turn. In fact, once I cleaned up my image I have had a ton of success in such a short time. I have been featured in over a dozen red carpet events in Hollywood, appeared as one of the featured celebrities in the USA Today, belong to a prestigious women?s group called Empowered Women and a trainer to Safe Passage women?s charity and a trainer to the celebrities. I do know that none of this success would of happened if I was parading around in hardly any clothes. It is up to you to decide whether or not your career is worth bearing it all but if you are looking at long term success, keep it classy and sassy.

Don?t get intimidated by all the sexy photos out there. Be proud of your body by showing it off in a classy way. Just remember who will be looking at those risqu? photos if you do decide to go that route. Just be sure to stand your ground and know that you can still have lots of success as a fitness model even though you kept it on.
