Physique Transformation Contests - How to Decide Whether to Enter

When a famous weight loss and fitness program is running a transformation contest for its users, it can serve as motivation for you to stick to the program and transform yourself - and perhaps win prizes too. In this article I'll examine what you should check before deciding to enter such a contest.

1. Check how much you have to spend on the program. If the contest is for the users of that program only, it's obvious you'd have to purchase it and use it.
2. Check what the prizes are. Prizes could be cash, goods, prizes that are associated with the program (free membership, etc.), or any combination of these. However, keep in mind the final point I raise at the end of this article.
3. Check whether the transformation contest is safe from cheating. For example, make sure contestants have to provide a proof of date on their "before" picture, in order to prove that the picture was not taken on an earlier date in order to get an unfair advantage.
4. Check what the criteria of the contest are. For example, whether they demand fitness model looks or anything like that. If the contest has had previous editions, I suggest you take a look at the pictures of the winners and get an idea what the guidelines are - model looks, or actual physical transformation for regular people like you and me.
5. Check how the contest is judged, and decide whether or not it can be judged objectively. Again, results of previous editions of the contest can help you with that.

Before you make the decision whether to enter or not, keep that in mind, though: Winning cash prizes and getting free membership to stuff is very nice. None of us would object to receiving a cash prize that could go as high as thousands of dollars. But the most important thing is that you will have transformed yourself, and perhaps realized a dream you had. That is worth more than any cash prize. So even if you don't win a cash or membership prize, you could still win. And that's more important than anything.
