IFBB Bikini Pro Katrina Freds went from small town janitor to becoming a fitness model and winning the 2016 Bodybuilding.com Spokesmodel Contest. Sales & Specials ► http://bbcom.me/2mIJweU Supplements for Women ► http://bbcom.me/2mIN3Kx Katrina Freds never thought she'd find herself on stage. "I was always outside, playing in the woods or pond and getting yelled at for being muddy," she says, laughing. Katrina was a sprinter in high school, but tore one hamstring her sophomore year and the other one during her senior year. Sixteen weeks later, she found herself on stage at her first show where she won bikini overall. From there, things just progressed. Eventually, her tenacious spirit not only earner her a spot on stage at the Arnold, but got her a second-place win. Competitions helped Katrina gain back a sense of control. "After I injured my legs, I watched myself become more and more unhealthy," she says. "I remembered how active I was and how good that felt, so I started following people in the fitness industry. Competitions became a way to get more fit, look good for my husband, and challenge myself." It wasn't always an easy path, and ample support wasn't readily available. "I had people telling me I was setting myself up for failure," Katrina says. "It's hard to hear people say you're not going to amount to anything. It makes you feel awful, but I had to remember that I wasn't doing this for them—I was doing this for me." The glamour of the stage was a far cry from her day-to-day life. "When I first graduated high school, I went straight into working three jobs," she says. "I had a crazy schedule until I landed my job as a high school custodian. I cleaned all the bathrooms and hallways. "I didn't have any gym equipment at my house and couldn't afford a gym membership, but the high school had a gym. I worked out after second shift, so I'd be doing like midnight to 3 a.m. just to get my gym session in. I had to eat my meals in between cleaning bathrooms." Katrina's humble roots make her relatable, approachable, and an inspiration to "regular" girls everywhere. ========================================­===== | Recommended Supplements | Pro Jym Protein ► http://bbcom.me/2mItfqy - Blended Protein Supplement for Maximum Effectiveness* - Made with the Highest Quality Whey, Casein, and Egg Proteins Cellucor C4 Pre-Workout ► http://bbcom.me/2mIJxQ0 - Advanced Pre-Workout for Increased Energy and Focus* - Great Tasting Powder to Provide an Explosive Surge of Motivation* Kaged Muscle Pre-Kaged ► http://bbcom.me/2mILxbg - Revolutionary Pre-Workout Primer! - Supercharge your Adrenaline and Increase Workout Performance! ========================================­===== | Bodybuilding.com | Sales & Specials ► http://bbcom.me/2mIJweU Fitness Articles ► http://bbcom.me/2mIBhj9 #1 Online Supplement Store ► http://bbcom.me/2mIIEH6 Free Fitness Plans ► http://bbcom.me/2mIKwjj #1 Women's Fitness Site ► http://bbcom.me/2mIQArZ ========================================­===== | Follow Us | YouTube ► http://bit.ly/1RSJFa4 Facebook ► http://on.fb.me/1lomhpr Instagram ► http://bit.ly/1LzBxab Twitter ► http://bit.ly/1RSJQlL Google+ ► http://bit.ly/1NRe8qu Pinterest ► http://bit.ly/1OOZgY4 Spotify ► http://spoti.fi/1NRebm0 We are Bodybuilding.com.

Do your bikini bottom justice with this glute-and-hamstring-building workout from an IFBB pro bikini competitor. Stretch, contract, and expect to feel the burn! ► Get the Full Sets & Reps for this Workout: https://bbcom.me/2LsWvR6 ► Shop Bodybuilding Signature Supplements: https://bbcom.me/2Pjf5wl ► All Access 7-Day Free Trial: https://bbcom.me/38c5bVT ► Subscribe: http://bit.ly/2DK5lGD For me, leg day is the workout so nice, I do it twice: Once with a glute and hamstring focus, and once with a focus on quads. After all, as an IFBB bikini pro, I know that rocking my suit from just one side isn't an option. I find that my glutes and hamstrings respond well to volume and sets of 15 reps. Not only will this help build up those posterior muscles, it also burns lot of calories, all while getting you working on your balance with single-leg exercises. Nothing complicated here! You can bust this workout out in most commercial gyms and be out the door—maybe walking a bit gingerly—in an hour. | Sumo Squats and Curtsy Lunges | When I doing sumo squats, I focus on my form: making sure that my knees don't go over my toes, keeping a nice wide stance, and going down until I feel a nice stretch in the hamstrings. Then, I explode upward into a tight contraction. I like to focus on tucking my tailbone under to make sure I really squeeze the glutes. This applies to the curtsy lunge as well. I take a big step over so that I feel that stretch. Then, in the middle, I bring my tailbone under and really contract the glutes. Everything is a stretch and contraction. | Knee-Elevated Split Squat | Some people like to go heavy with these. Not me, especially when I'm going to be knocking out 15-rep sets. However, I still like to hold a weight, even just a 10-pound one, because it helps with balance without making the exercise any harder. The front foot is where a lot of people go wrong with this movement. Put your toe on the bench, then bring the foot out far enough that your knee won't extend over your toe when you go into the squat. If you're too close, you can't really push through the heel of your front foot like you should. | Bent-Knee and Straight-Leg Kick-Back | My supersets for these movements are almost more like a dropset. I like to do 15 reps with the bent-knee leg, then go right into 15 with the straight leg before I switch legs. This really exhausts the leg, because it's like you're doing 30 reps on each leg. I lean forward a little and hold on to a support with both hands to make sure I'm focusing on the glutes and hamstrings. Again, be sure to stretch out, pull the leg in, and push out by driving through the heel. Whenever you focus on glutes and hamstrings, you should feel like you're driving through the heel, whether your leg is on the ground or in the air. | Single-Leg Press | I start my single-leg leg presses with both feet on the platform in a high, fairly narrow-footed stance, then drop one leg down right before starting. Don't feel like you have to load the sled up heavily—or even at all, necessarily. The one I used in the video started out at 165 pounds, and for 60 total reps on a single leg, that's a good amount of weight. Instead of weight, focus on form. Be sure to bring your knee in close to your chest so you feel a nice stretch, and then push out through your heel. | Single-Leg Deadlift | The single-leg deadlift is one of the most difficult exercises I do, but it's also one of my favorites. It takes a little bit of practice because it demands a lot of balance. When you first start out, you can help balance yourself by holding the back of a chair or bench. If you've got the flexibility to bring your leg up behind you nice and straight, that will also help a lot with your balance. Another trick to help you keep your balance is to concentrate on one spot ahead of you. If you move all over the place or try to follow your form as you go, you'll probably lose your balance a bit. I find one spot on the wall and just keep my focus there, and it really helps me maintain balance throughout the entire exercise. ========================================­===== | Follow Us | ► Twitch: http://bit.ly/2q1dttE ► YouTube: http://bit.ly/1RSJFa4 ► Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1lomhpr ► Instagram: http://bit.ly/1LzBxab ► Twitter: http://bit.ly/1RSJQlL ► Google+: http://bit.ly/1NRe8qu ► Pinterest: http://bit.ly/1OOZgY4 ► Spotify: http://spoti.fi/1NRebm0 We are Bodybuilding.com.
