Slimmers World International: Mr. & Ms. Great Bodies Pre-Judging Activity

Wazzup Pilipinas!

EDSA Shangri-La hotel was filled with amazing bodies from 24 individuals who personify great bodies that can be considered almost perfect. The candidates strutted and flexed their lean body and muscles to show off to the audience their amazing physical beauty. Fit, trim and muscle-bounded, these are just some traits that you'll find from the men and women who frequent gyms and fitness centers to keep their body to the most pleasant and healthy condition.

I am amazed of the discipline and patience of these individuals on how they can manage to keep their bodies to the optimum condition and appearance. It is no easy task to maintain such physical prowess. It takes a considerable amount of time to regularly visits gyms and fitness centers and a lot of fighting power to keep away from the temptations of eating fatty and cholesterol-laden foods. I envy these individuals who can resist indulging on the many sugary treats out there enabling them to keep their superb abs.

Slimmers World International, Asia’s foremost name in fitness, health and beauty recently held a media presentation and pre-judging of candidates as an initial activity to their search for the 2014 Mr. & Ms. Great Bodies on December 2, 2014 at the UP Theatre. Members of the media were at awe seeing these incredibly fit and muscled individuals from many age brackets and genders.
There were some older candidates but still with unbelievable bodies, and some members of the LGBT community but with well-sculptured bodies that straight ones would envy.
