NIKQUISA'S THOUGHTS
"The sport of bodybuilding has provided an outlet for me to stay consistent with with my workouts and healthy eating habits. It’s also provided a family full of other people with whom I can stay connected and even cheer on!
It's important to remember: in bodybuilding one doesn’t necessarily have to compare him/herself to other people. You can do as much or as little as you please. It all depends on your reasons for participating. Personally, my motivation lies in challenging me to be my best self while inspiring others."
