RM: Madelen would you like to tell us how you got involved in bikini fitness?

MM: A freind of mine actually asked me if I was intersten in competing in a Bikini Fitness competition. Before I choose to compete I’ve been weight training since I was 21 years of age.

After my first competition one year ago, I was hooked and started taking weight training even more serious.

RM: What does your training schedule look like each week?

MM: Monday: Chest, biceps and front shoulder. Tuesday: Back, back leg, calves. Wednesday: Cardio or intervalls. Thursday: Front and back legs. Friday: Lats and back shoulder. Saturday: Intervalls. Sunday: Rest or intervalls.

RM: What is next ahead for you in the fitness career?

MM: I am thinking about competing in the Swedish Grand Prix, the European Championship and Arnold Amateur.

RM: If you could change anything about the fitness culture what would it be?

MM: The perception of Bikini Fitness not being taken as a serious sport with real athtletes. I would love the focus to be on the athletic side and not so much on the beauty.

RM: What is the hardest part of being a competetive bikini athlete?

MM: Not knowing exactly what the judges in different countries are looking for. Sometimes they look for a softer body tone and sometimes a more athletic body tone.
