Could you be our Body of 2009?

Following the success of our body of 2008 competition, we are delighted to launch of our new, bigger and better Body of 2009 competition. Once again, we're looking for women who embody the Maxiwomen spirit; real, everyday women who have the dedication to train hard and consume the right nutrition needed to transform their bodies and achieve their goals.

And this year, we've improved the competition! We now have two categories - Inspire and Motivate - designed to inspire and motivate women to get incredible results from their training.

Inspire: if you've lost weight or overcome adversity to get your dream body, we want to hear your inspirational stories.

Motivate: have you changed your life to achieve a sporting goal? Or transformed yourself to achieve your sporting dreams? Then send us your motivational stories.

Both categories have a £2,500 first prize and our lucky winners will get the chance to become a cover model for our magazine, enjoy a professional photoshoot in the Maximuscle studio, and receive free Maximuscle products and lots more.
