Fitness Athletes Network

Over the last few days, a nice discussion on Siouxcountry was created about the status of the fitness division. After thinking about it over the weekend, I decided to take it upon myself to create a simple but effective site for showcasing fitness routines. I present to you...Fitness Athletes Network, or FAN for short.

Part of the Save Women’s Fitness Now campaign, FAN is a site dedicated to showing videos and photos of fitness routines from all over the world from various organization such as the National Physique Comittee (NPC), International Federation of Bodybuilders (IFBB), Fitness Universe, and more. Fitness is regarded by many to be the most entertaining division of all the female physique competitions out there, but sadly, there are very few competitions and competitors, and one of the reasons for that is…there’s not that much promotion for the fitness athletes, unlike for those in figure and bikini. This site hopes to change that by providing this site for fitness athletes and fans to watch, view, and showcase their routines to the world. Hopefully this will be shared with those that are interested in fitness but need that extra motivation, as well as bring in some aspiring potential fitness competiors (high school/college cheerleaders, ex-dancers, gymnasts, etc.)

If you would like to contribute to this site by sending videos of your fitness routines (whether competition, guest posing, or practice), as well as videos demostrating some fitness moves, please email them to me at save_fitness@yahoo.com.

Jenny Worth Returns to Her Roots This Weekend!

For those attending the NPC Southern States Championships this weekend (July 8-9) are in for one heck of a treat. Jenny Worth will be guest performing at the show! For the first time since having her child, she will be back on stage to perform a fitness routine.

According to Jenny, she's doing it for the love of the sport that's made her a star in the first place, women's fitness, and with this performance, she hopes to put women's fitness back on the map and hope to get people talking about Jenny again. During her interview with FitGems Nation earlier this year, she mentioned that she wouldn't mind returning to compete when she felt the time was right. Could this guest appearance be the beginning of a comeback for the 2001 Fitness International champion? I wouldn't put it past her, as many people have said that she's among the best to never win the Fitness Olympia title. That will remain to be see whether she returns to competition, but it will be great for those attending the Southern States to see an IFBB Fitness legend on stage.

The show will start at 7PM Eastern time, with her appearance taking place around 9pm July 8th. Below is the location of the show and where and who to contact for tickets and more information about the Southern States:
