In this episode we talk about the differences she faced when beginning bikini competitions. What was different about her training? What were the changes in her diet? What exercises in cheer helped her to build a good foundational physique? You will find out in this episode. Although Hope has a fantastic body, She really shares how much she used to train before she even started competing to build her physique to the level she wanted. She is a wonderful example of what can happen after years of consistency.   Key Takeaways A true test of character isn't how you are on your best days, but how you are on your worst days.
