INSPIRATION , MOTIVATION , PERSPIRATION , & TEAMWORK
We are so thrilled to publish the latest issue of NPAA Magazine . It has been a labour of love for the 2015 and 2016 seasons to summarize and capture all of the memorable moments that we were privileged to experience as a federation .
We are so proud of our last two issues , and sat and had to think hard about the theme of this issue ? How do you summarize such an incredible movement into a theme . Then it came to us at our most recent athletes meeting in Calgary .
What is our sport ? What is competing ? Some think it is a sport of vanity , and that the only reason someone steps on stage is for attention or perceived fame . We know differently , and this magazine is evidence of the powerful movement and community that competing is truly based on .
THIS IS A SPORT OF INSPIRATION , MOTIVATION AND PERSPIRATION . Hence these are the themes of this issue . Need more evidence or proof ? … Then kindly flip to the article written about Chuck Thompson , our bodybuilding iron man . Yes an iron man who has competed in over 100 competitions . Can you imagine the amount of motivation , and commitment it has taken to achieve such a feat ? Chuck also summarized his best 100 tips that he can recommend to anyone entering this physique sport .

Still not convinced ? Please read the inspiring stories provided by our transformation award winners . Each individual set a goal to compete as a means to help them conquer some of the largest obstacles a human could endure , inflammatory joint disease , heart disease and stroke , obesity , cancer and body image disorder to name a few . Many of these inspiring athletes learned to balance life as spouses , parents , caregivers , professionals and competitors with the difficult circumstances they endured prior to and during their contest prep . Our greatest motivation should come from “ within ”, but these exceptional athletes make us look outside of our own experiences to draw inspiration and motivation to our own lives .
Our NPAA athletes set excellent examples of putting in the daily grind , the dirty work , the sweaty , perspiration soaked gym sessions to achieve a natural bodybuilding physique . It can ’ t be denied that the calibre of natural competing on the NPAA stage is the gold standard in our nation . Want to know how some of our athletes build such fabulous natural physiques , then check out our fitness articles ; Building the physique of bikini model champion and Proper squat technique for athletes . Both of these fitness articles will have you motivated for your next gym session .
As a platform for health education , we were fortunate to have Dr . Aric Sudicky write about the need for natural training and competing . As a former competitor and fitness model , Dr . Sudicky eloquently entitled his article # lifetimedrugfree and outlines the serious health risks of performance enhancing drugs . As a federation we are proud to educate and support natural competing and love the content of our health editorial .
We believe that this latest issue of NPAA magazine will have our readers inspired , motivated and ready to conquer any goals they have set , whether it be small or large . We look forward to all future seasons of natural competing and wish our NPAA fitness family the best in Health and Wellness .
Sincerely ,
Dr . Wendy Carvalho-Ashby & Dr . Kevin Ashby NPAA Presidents
