MURFREESBORO,
Tenn.-- A former Motlow State Community
College student is on a journey to compete in her first National Physique
Committee competition.
Alayna Brent, 22,
has begun her competition preparation for her NPC debute in the Women’s Bikini
Short category this year. The National Physique Committee sanctions local to
national level competitions for amateur bodybuilding. The NPC is the largest
bodybuilding organization in the United States. The bikini category requires
extremely low body fat accompanied by lean muscle.
Residing in
Murfreesboro, Brent regularly trains in popular gyms such as Olympus and Gold’s
gyms. This active pre-dental student has maintained a healthy lifestyle and
aspires to soon be show-ready.
“It’s a challenging process and definitely would put me out of my comfort zone,” said Brent. “It would be an accomplishment.”
“It’s a challenging process and definitely would put me out of my comfort zone,” said Brent. “It would be an accomplishment.”
Brent is working to
achieve this goal with challenging workouts and a consistent, strict diet. She
lifts heavy weights with short reps to sculpt muscle, then follows up with
light cardio to ensure her metabolism stays high. She trains six days a week,
allowing herself a rest day in addition to following a well-formulated diet.
“ I’m eating very clean at this point, no processed food
or anything unnatural,” Brent added.
Brent works in the
promotions department at the growing nutrition and supplement store Nutrishop
in Murfreesboro. She travels to different gyms across the county and gives gym-goers
advice on how to get the most potential out of their bodies through proper diet
and supplements.

“It’s motivating
being around people who have the same goals in mind,” said Brent. “The majority of people that come in are so
positive and always want to be supportive. It’s really reassuring to have
people on your team.”
Brent has yet to
decide on a show date. However, with Tennessee’s long list of competitions for
2014, she has ample time to decide. She is providing herself with the time to
effectively change her body without drastic measures and unhealthy methods.
“I want to give my body the proper training
and time to taper down,” she continued. “I’m looking at possibly the ‘Knox
Classic’ in August or the ‘Music City Muscle’ in early October.”
Brent can be found June 28 at Embassy Suites
Hotel in Murfreesboro for the “Flex Lewis Classic”, working promotions and
awarding athletes trophies during the event. For more information regarding “The
