Well here are the @npcnewsonline2015 stage shots from North Americans over the weekend. Although I wish I had placed higher, because really who doesn't? I'm pleased with first call outs, placing 6th out of about 25 incredible girls, and the slow but steady changes in my shape and posing- nothing to do from here but improve 😋 #figure #northamericans #NPC #IFBB #girlswithmuscle #fitfam #EPathlete #compositionID #teampromera #teamironcladphysique

"You've got to believe that something different can happen. He who says he can and he who says he can't are both usually right." #transformationtuesday three years in the making 2012-> 2015. Each time I step on stage I look to improve from my previous show- whether it's size, conditioning, posing or confidence. As I get ready to step on stage for the 12th time next weekend there are a few specific areas I'm honing in on and can't wait to see the final product at North Americans! #progress #improvement #fitfam #DCfit #figure #figureprep #mevsme #girlswithmuscle #11daysout @girlswithmuscle #teampromera #compositionID #EPathlete #teamironcladphysique (at Equinox Sports Club Washington DC)
So what is a DEXA Scan?
If you follow me on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook- I’m sure you’ve seen multiple posts about Composition ID and DEXA Scans. With minimal space for an explanation on social media, posts become rather arbitrary. Here is a more detailed breakdown of what exactly a DEXA Scan, and the results, entail.
Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) is a low dosage X Ray scan that can determine tissue types and quantities in the body: Fat Mass, Lean Mass and Bone Mass. What that means is the reports can generate specific information, for specific body parts to provide insight into how much of each tissue that body part is comprised of. For an initial scan the DEXA will give baseline information, which is informative; however, the most fascinating piece of the DEXA is the follow up. The reports generated will track progress and changes over time- as a graph, pictures and numerically. With this information you can determine whether or not your program: diet & workout, is yielding the desired results. If it is, then that’s great...science can support your system. If not, then it’s time for a change before too much time is spent going down a path that isn’t supporting your goals!
So here is a little more breakdown of the DEXA Scan:
Each scan lasts ~6-11 minutes. During the scan you’ll lay on the table, still, and the top arm will gradually move from your head, down your body, to your toes. Simultaneously your scan will be generated on the computer screen. With a DEXA scan, you can wear whatever clothes are comfortable- work clothes, workout clothes, dresses, pants, shorts...whatever!
Here are some of the reports generated by the software:
This is the first page which will provide a general summary: This is my most recent DEXA scan results- and tracks my progress from my initial scan 2/8/15 and all the subsequent scans between.
a pictorial of the DEXA Scan which serves as an easy visual (white is bone, blue is lean mass, pink is fat mass)
a graph charting changes in % body fat, and another tracking ebbs and flows of fat mass and lean mass scan after scan
numerical information including full body % body fat, total body mass, tissue mass, fat mass, lean mass, bone mineral content and fat free mass. The numbers will also show the change from the previous scans
information on android (belly) and gynoid (hip and butt) regions which go beyond aesthetics and can serve as indicators of potential health risks
This picture shows a close-up version of some of the changes tracked over time.
This data tracks both the images of the scan serving as a powerful visual for those who are making drastic changes, as well as total body mass, total body fat mass, and total body lean mass and how those numbers have changed both from the baseline scan and from the most recent scan.
Here are some of my comparisons as I prep for my next show. I can compare and contrast to see exactly how I’m shaping up 5 weeks out. Based off the numbers, I have `1 lb more lean mas and 0.2 lbs less fat mass than I had for my last show- I’ll take those changes!
This information allows me to evaluate whether or not I’m on pace to step on stage at my ideal body fat.
Here are a majority of the reports printed out. Not only do the reports generate information on a full body basis- it can hone in in right vs. left balances and imbalances, as well as certain body parts (arms, legs, trunk, android, gynoid) and provide specifics of exactly how much fat mass, lean mass and bone mineral content are in each of those areas...as well as track changes over time!
Both as a competitor and a fitness professional I use this data to track progress. A scale will not give adequate information regarding exactly what is happening in the body. It is time we step away from the scale and don’t allow that to dictate progress! There are much more effective tools available to track results, and if you are serious about making changes to your physique, I highly recommend a DEXA Scan.

There are a few different aspects of my upbringing that have molded my passion for fitness, both as a competitor and a fitness professional. One of the biggest factors was being immersed in fitness at Westboro Tennis and Swim Club. As a kid I would spend all day every day here during the summers, playing and swimming. When I was 12 I was finally old enough to enter the Junior Fitness Training program where I met with a trainer twice a week and learned the very basics of equipment, exercise selection and programming. From that moment on I've always been a gym rat, dabbling in various aspects of fitness and currently finding my home as a figure athlete and Personal Trainer. My parents are moving from our childhood home in Northboro MA to Albuquerque NM so this is the last weekend I'll be in our hometown and especially in the gym that started it all for me. It's bittersweet to think that for the last 17 years this was always my go to spot when I came home, and this is now my last weekend here 😥 #wtsc #fitness #figure #figureprep #fitfam #memories #homesweethome #back #chickswholift @girlswithmuscle #girlswithmuscle #compositionid #teampromera #EPathlete #teamironcladphysique (at Westboro Tennis and Swim Club)
