  • Hi, my name is margie marvelous.

  • I'm a two time world bodybuilding champion and this is how I work it.

  • I'm going to take you through 24 hours of my beauty and wellness routine.

  • I started in bodybuilding in 2013 I became a pro in 2014 And in 2015 I won my first bodybuilding championship.

  • People don't always associate bodybuilding with beauty and that is what I feel my platform is responsible for.

  • When people think about bodybuilding, they don't think about a beautiful woman, they think about this big, huge rough guy, but I'm here, I'm here to show that you can do both.

  • You can have the body, the brawn and the beauty that you want.

  • Good morning.

  • It's time to get up people 3 50.

  • I know I know this is the life that we lead.

  • Welcome to my room, my Lord.

  • The reason why I get before I am, I want to make sure that everything is put together when I meet and greet my clients.

  • It's really important for me to be able to come off as strong, beautiful and feminine when you're carrying around all this muscle.

  • One of the first things I like to do is get my super greens right packed energy boom boom.

  • Super greens, half bottle of water with little crystal light in a those greens sometimes can be a little strong, so welcome to my day.

  • People cheers as I staggered to the bathroom and I use my charcoal Colgate toothpaste and use my toothbrush brushing my teeth away, hoping that I could just get a couple more winks of sleep and then I look up and I'm just saying like what am I about to do to this face and it needs moisturizer.

  • What I do.

  • Immediately come out the shower.

  • I use my facial moisturizing lotion SPF by sarah.

  • They, this Vegas heat is no joke but you should always use a moisturizer with SPF.

  • The next thing is my palmer's cocoa butter formula skin therapy and I just spray this all over.

  • So after I get dressed and get on my shoes and I get ready I go into my kitchen and I make my egg white smoothie.

  • It's consists of 10 egg whites.

  • I have a scoop of protein, coconut oil for a little M.

  • C.

  • T.

  • Focus and a little bit of nuts.

  • I'm a laying salt to taste and a little bit of splendor as well.

  • It's blended for about 60 seconds in my ninja.

  • I put the top on.

  • I'm ready to go inside the car.

  • I'm chugging down my shake, I'm eating my almonds and it takes me about 30 minutes to get to the gym to meet my first client.

  • My first client is at five a.m. It's a lot of sacrifice that um embody building that you do the discipline and consistency of bodybuilding that it requires to look at an elite level.

  • There are pros and cons to it.

  • You know there's things where you can end up looking great, Your body looks awesome.

  • But then you also can feel really neglectful for the people in your life.

  • And so you can also think about, oh, I'm disciplined and I'm consistent with my body building, but you're missing out on the things that you know, could matter to your family.

  • Once I'm done with my first client around seven o'clock, that's when it's time for my next meal.

  • Okay guys, it's a little bit past seven o'clock and so now I'm home and so you know what that means?

  • It's coffee time.

  • Well that's making, I'm going to make my first meal and that is bison with a little bit of black bean and some eggs.

  • These are like my favorite fellows, beans, 13, 3 eggs.

  • The biggest thing about body building is your nutrition.

  • My nutrition consists of four meals and two snacks a day totaling about 25 to 3300 calories meal prep is the paramount of bodybuilding.

  • You have to get the food in.

  • I meal prep twice a week, a lot of fish, a lot of chicken, a lot of eggs and vegetables.

  • A lot of times.

  • People just think that we choose choke and swallow our food that you don't have to love your food.

  • The successful thing I've known make your food taste good.

  • I vacuum seal all my food.

  • My meal preps.

  • I've had it for probably 10 years and has never failed me.

  • So when I put it in, seal it up, open it, cut it and put it in the microwave.

  • It's just so fresh.

  • Around 10 a.m. Is the time for me to train myself.

  • I train about 20 hours a week, seven days a week.

  • It consists of 2 to 3 times, going back to the gym back and forth each day, depending on my energy levels.

  • Another thing that people think is that you have to stay in the gym for hours at a time when you really normally just have to give yourself Adequate 45 minutes of high intensity training to really get the job done.

  • Another tool for bodybuilding, as far as weight training goes, that I do is cryotherapy.

  • I do my cryo therapy once a week.

  • No.

  • Mhm.

  • The cryotherapy helps with joint pain or inflammation.

  • If you have a problem when it comes to the movement of your body or the functionality, try a little cryotherapy, you can see how cold I am.

  • Red light therapy is.

  • Uh something I use probably 4 to 5 times a week.

  • Uh It's something that makes you feel like you're just ready to go to the gym wherever you feel exhausted, You feel tired, you happen that red light bed for 15, 12 minutes and you feel like a new person underwear right there.

  • The basic, like you're just in a really forms get to the men By a 10 year old Children, it's blank.

  • Oh man, I'm reading this right like this.

  • I promise you, you feel amazing with red light therapy and your skin just looks, I mean I am 42.

  • My skin looks absolutely amazing.

  • Toot and horns here.

  • So, so here we are, right here at my favorite place to be to help keep my face looking super super nice and plump and full and feminine is my place at the do rows salon because when you're a body builder, you drive your body fat so so, so low and when you're dropping the body fat on the body, the fat on the face goes away first and then you're like, what do you need to do?

  • You need to see an aesthetician to re plump and put in those pillars so you can re feminized your face.

  • It's just gonna happen.

  • You drop body fat, the fat in your face is going to go to, here's the before, it's still gorgeous, but she's gonna make it better.

  • I go twice a year to reframe my face into a way in the shape that's similar to what it is before I start cutting for a bodybuilding competition.

  • One of the biggest things that I would say that contributes to bodybuilding success is making sure that you know how your body moves and how your body sits at rest and that means that you need a physical therapist or a chiropractor to look at you.

  • So I go to a chiropractor every two weeks or so to make sure that my body is still functioning and still moving and the way it should be.

  • So after I'm done with my cardio, my high intensity training I go back home and it's time for me to be able to take off all these dirty sweaty clothes and cap in the shower.

  • I'm going to first exfoliate, this is a little silicone scrubber and it's just to get the dead skin off just so my skin coat nice and vibrant shampoo, my hair once a week kicks oil shampoo by O.

  • G.

  • X.

  • I love and then of course the argon Morocco conditioner by O.

  • G.

  • X.

  • And this is my oil filet, avocado oil body wash.

  • I am off to take my shower and for a long time I didn't understand the importance of making sure that you had great hygiene that make sure that you moisturize your body correctly.

  • Because I broke out my first couple of years in bodybuilding, I didn't understand why my skin was acting the way it was.

  • It was because I wasn't given that the love and the attention that it needed.

  • So this is my lunch, it's um a curry chicken and I get this curry rub is very low in sugar.

  • I used to um cook my chicken and then when I cook it I package it and vacuum seal it in an individual package And so here it is how I really try to bring out the femininity and bodybuilding is really wanted to make sure that people get that.

  • I am a woman and I love girly girly stuff.

  • I am always in makeup.

  • It's just one of those things that I don't want someone to feel like they have to show, associate me with something hard and rough.

  • One of the things that I like to do is the kiss false Cara's the ones that go under the eyelash.

  • They are my go to because it's just something that you use, you put the mascara on, you put the little lashes under and you look so natural.

  • Please don't zoom in.

  • I'm not sure how good of a job I did but I am very quick at it and I do recommend it for everyone who doesn't want a big thick line strip on you.

  • This is light, it's airy and I get compliments all the time.

  • I am a wig biologist.

  • I have five different wigs that I can wear and the gym, they're already pre style.

  • Help me out in the morning.

  • I already have my clothes laid out you know late right there in the chair and I already have on my wigs pre style.

  • So this is already pre stolen the bun.

  • I'm gonna show you what I do and head band.

  • Okay flower.

  • Yeah, I love 20 foundation and the concealer.

  • Now we're going in with my foundation because this is just a really quick foundation by Fenty beauty.

  • Oh I love this foundation.

  • So I go along with my highlight by MAC, my MAC studio fix.

  • So I'm just going in there highlight.

  • A colors, high shine.

  • Shea butter lip gloss.

  • Yeah, I use a bill nye chestnut.

  • Yeah, this is my Sasha, butter and butter cup my T zone area.

  • It's been a little bit, I love to pull focus.

  • That's the point of having a physique this way is to pull focus to make people have a conversation, you know, to make people talk, I do love nails.

  • One thing I do not love about nails is when you go into a weight training room and you slam your nails on the weight and I broke two of them this weekend, slamming weight, hitting it and I just said, oh my God, I have to break it off.

  • But that's just me.

  • People say, well margie, why do you have long nails?

  • I said, you know what a sister has to do what she has to do?

  • The beauty is in its beauty is pain.

  • Sometimes I'll take this, this is warrior pain here.

  • Okay, so once it's time for me to actually do some real work and I get to be able to put on some girly clothes and everything else.

  • I can sit down at my computer and start working my nutrition and meal plan and work out plans for my clients that takes normally about the rest of my day, around 23 30 to 4 o'clock, Making sure I get to network with them and talk with them and do their body checks 3:00, I'm finished with my my work work, my like I have to sit down my office work and that's the time where I pick up my son and he comes with me to the gym to start filming my workout routines.

  • So the first thing I'm gonna do today and move your arms and I'm gonna start with chest three sets of best Around 45 65 and he loves to help me film for my social media um projects and things that I want to do for the future.

  • You know, there are so many stereotypes and misconceptions about women's bodybuilding one that were violent or angry were rough, we're hyper sexualized, were unable to have Children were incapable of nurturing.

  • So there's a lot of things that today's by builders are really able to show through social media that we are, we have families that we have love in our life that we can, you know, cherish and be help to people out there in different ways.

  • So I'm really, really thankful for the social media that we have today to be able to express that around 57 o'clock, I would say that we're still in their training, finishing up a couple of things, you know, the look and lollygagging I guess that you could say after our evening training we head home, watch a favorite show, probably say that bachelor on Mondays and different true crying.

  • My last meal is another egg white shake is another probably 10 egg whites depending on if I want to do something a little bit thicker, I'll stick a two tablespoons of peanut butter, maybe a little bit of a banana, something really, really kind of makes me feel like I'm having something good, A lot of ice splenda and Himalayan salt is after I ripped the wig off my head or whatever I'm wearing that day and I'm tossing in whatever clothes in the corner before I have to get to wash them.

  • I take my shower, I use a dove cleanser, I don't, when I normally rinse throughout the day, after a training session or my cardio session, I just do a normal rent.

  • But then at the evening time I normally like to use something a little bit stronger like a dove men's wash, you know, to really be able to power through all the funk throughout the day, scrubbing extra really, really hard.

  • Getting that, you know, fresh feeling, I use one of those body scrub rags.

  • I normally pulling a big, huge t shirt, my hair is, you know, up and nice and braid it down, still wet so it's still in the towel and then I am vegeta out and ready to do it at 9:00 for another day.

  • So now that I'm done with my nighttime mask and my face already looks so glowy, it's time to add the moisture bag.

  • So I use the shea moisture overnight um daily hydration overnight.

  • Face oil at this liberally.

  • Uh, this one so I shine All right, okay, we are almost time for bed.

  • The most challenging part of my career is not taking it personal removing the emotion out of your the work that you do because you have to love the sport for the evidence of what you put in it, not what, how someone else will judge you based off of it.

  • The most rewarding part is looking like me.

  • It's not the money.

  • I know a lot of times for women and women's body building.

  • The money Is really not equating to a lot right now for the men's championship, in the women's championship, it's 12 sent to the mail dollar.

  • So our competitions are at the same level.

  • So you really just have to be like, this is my body and this is the reward.

  • You really have to cherish the work that you put in the physique is the reward.

  • So now I've got my shaking my belly, my vitamins, my stomach and I have a mission tomorrow to be the best me I can be in my head and now it is 1030 and it is time to say good night, goodnight allure, Thank you guys.
