Biography
Adopting A Fitness Lifestyle Gradually
Louise Rogers, like many athletes, grew up participating in competitive sports; her favorite events were sprinting and hurdling.
Louise started attending the gym with her sister once school was out, as she puts it: “Simply going along and spending time on the stepper while my sister did her routine.”
Louise’s interest in fitness grew as she observed her sister working out in the gym more frequently. She soon started living the lifestyle herself and enrolled in a training course.
Louise decided to pursue fitness full-time while she was still a student, taking it a step further. She started taking classes to become a fitness instructor, eventually earning credentials as a personal trainer and sports therapist.
Training In Strength
Soon after obtaining her credentials, Louise started working at a nearby weightlifting facility. There she met a coworker who competed in strongman events.
Louise’s coworker informed her she performed too much cardio and suggested she start strength training instead.
Louise Rogers was surprised to see changes in her appearance after engaging in a bodybuilding-style routine, despite her initial skepticism. She claims that after this, she nearly entirely stopped including cardio in her workouts.
Figure-Skating Contests
Louise put in a lot of effort in the gym during the ensuing years, gradually gaining a trim and attractive physique. Louise eventually had the “competitive bug” and felt it was time to enter figure fitness competitions.
A few months later, she competed in the Portsmouth UKBFF local regional qualifier, and much to her surprise, she won the competition. Louise was also given a chance to compete in the IFBB British Championships as a result of her success.
She then started working out consistently and keeping a close eye on her nutrition to get to the show in the best condition possible.
Louise’s perseverance was rewarded when, several months later, in October 2008, she took first place in the British Championships finals.
Obtaining A Pro Card
Louis was given entry into the 2009 IFBB World Championships, which were held in Lake Como, Italy, thanks to his victory at the British Championships.
Contests For Professionals
Louise started taking part in prestigious performances all over the world after she joined the professional circuit. including the 2015 Bodypower Pro, the IFBB New York Pro, the 2012 Arnold Classic Europe, and the 2015 Toronto Pro Supershow.
Her best finishes in those competitions were third at the Bodypower Pro in both 2014 and 2015.
“I hope to compete in the Miss Figure Olympia someday. Although I might pass out if this happened! For me, that would be the pinnacle of competition!
Training
Louise normally works out every day, performing cardio on the weekends and strength training five to six times each week.
On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, she works on her weaker body parts, while later in the week she concentrates on her stronger body parts, including her back and chest.
Louise claims that because the shoulders and arms are so big, she hardly ever exercises them.
Cardio Distance
Louise dislikes undertaking prolonged cardio workouts. Instead, she seeks to perform brief but intense exercises, like sprints.
As the show date approaches, she will up the frequency of the cardio workouts to four times weekly, performing longer, slower-paced cardio routines that last about 30 minutes.
She claims that even while lengthy cardio sessions can occasionally be tiresome, she loses the most weight during them.
“I switch up my cardio, doing everything from power walking to climbing to cross training to sprinting! I enjoy exercising outside as well.
Best Movements For Glutes
Louise was certain that there was only one exercise that would effectively strengthen her glutes: “The Hip Thrust. My butt has benefited greatly from it.
However, she thinks that this exercise shouldn’t be the only one used in glute training. To get the best results, Louise suggests mixing hip thrusts with other exercises like squats and lunges.
Nutrition
Seasonal Diet
Louis typically consumes a diet that is heavy in protein, moderate in carbs, and low in fat before a performance. She’s discovered that eating less fat during this time accelerates her weight loss.
She clarified that this only works for some people, though. When trying to reduce weight, she thinks that the majority of people respond better to low carb and moderate-to-high fat diets.
An Eating Day
Regarding the specific foods Louise consumes, she typically gets breakfast muffins or egg whites in the morning. She will eat a snack like a protein smoothie or some rice cakes before lunch.
After that, she’ll eat two brief lunches that are two to three hours apart. They both include the same meal, which is typically sweet potatoes and fish or lean meat.
Louise will have a protein smoothie post-workout and then, an hour later, a steak and a big salad. She will eat a casein protein shake or yogurt in the evening before going to bed if she is hungry.
Best Foods For Muscle Growth And Fat Loss
Louise claims that eating these foods aided her in getting in the best shape possible for her competitions;
- Egg Whites
- Beetroot
- Lean Poultry Meat
- Salmon
- Skimmed Milk
- Haddock
- Spinach and Green Salad
The First Three Supplements
Louise exclusively consumes whey protein, BCAAs, and a pre-workout supplement.
Favorite Snack Foods
Indian cuisine is Louise’s preferred cuisine. She claims that if she had to pick only one, a curry would be it.
A curry… Oh, please don’t even start me on how much I adore Indian cuisine! Lousie Rogers
“Winning my IFBB Pro card has to be the highlight of my career thus far. I still find it to be a truly amazing moment, and I don’t believe I will ever forget it.
