My Vibram FiveFingers!  I found these up north while shopping in Nisswa!  These are a great choice if you are interested in the &#8220;barefoot&#8221; experience!</p>

<p>Why wear a cast on your foot when fitness training? Wearing FiveFingers during strength and fitness conditioning can increase your comfort, balance, performance and overall sense of control. That’s because many of the poses and exercises you perform during strength and fitness training rely on flexible yet stable support from your feet and legs.</p>
<p>FiveFingers footwear not only provide a sure-footed grip to enhance torque during power moves,<a href="http://taraathatcher.com/database/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DSCF0769.jpg" rel="lightbox[792]"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-795" title="Hercules and my Vibrams" src="http://taraathatcher.com/database/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DSCF0769-e1283263810269-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a> it’s ultrathin sole enhances feedback and lowers your center of gravity to improve balance and agility. FiveFingers will allow your foot to move naturally, flexing easily with every move you make. Its five individual toe slots lets your toes to separate gently, allowing you to use them as your natural stabilizers and providing unrivaled balance and increased muscle stimulation to your feet, ankles, and lower legs.</p>
<p>Whether you are cardio training, lifting weights, or powering through a CrossFit routine, FiveFingers will help you get the most out of your workout and your body.</p>
<p>5 Reasons to Wear or Train in Vibram FiveFingers:</p>

<p>2. Improves Range of Motion in Ankles, Feet and Toes – no longer ‘cast’ in a shoe, the foot and toes move more naturally.</p>
<p>3. Stimulates Neural Function Important to Balance and Agility &#8211; when wearing Vibram FiveFingers, thousands of neurological receptors in the feet send valuable information to the brain, improving balance and agility.</p>
<p>4. Eliminates Heel Lift to Align the Spine and Improve Posture – By lowering the heel, our bodyweight becomes evenly distributed across the footbed, promoting proper posture and spine alignment.</p>

I will be waiting until next year to compete again, as I have some work to do in my off season to bring my physique to where I want it.  I am working hard at Explosive Edge Athletics with my trainer, Shawn Myzska, to bring my best physique yet to the stage next season.</p>
<p>I am getting married to the most wonderful man ever, Ben,in<a href="http://taraathatcher.com/database/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DSCF06831.jpg" rel="lightbox[772]"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-774" title="DSCF0683" src="http://taraathatcher.com/database/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DSCF06831-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a> May of next year. I won&#8217;t be competing until after my wedding.  I am in the midst of wedding planning right now, bridesmaids dresses, flowers, cake, food, etc&#8230;. I do have my dress picked out and it is AMAZING! I can&#8217;t wait to celebrate our love, friendship and marriage, and look forward to creating many memories together!</p>
<p><a href="http://taraathatcher.com/database/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/EVA.eva_.img_0088web.jpg" rel="lightbox[772]"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-776" title="EVA.eva.img_0088web" src="http://taraathatcher.com/database/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/EVA.eva_.img_0088web-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a>So, I will be looking for my qualification for Nationals next year. I want to gain my PRO status in bikini. I am ready to put my nose to the grindstone and focus on what I need to do to get there.  Stay tuned for more info!</p>

Are you looking for your next figure or bikini suit?  I am selling my beautiful purple suit made by the one and only Tamee Marie!!!! I have been competing for 5 years, and this is by far my FAVORITE suit of all time!  Tamee and I worked on designing this suit and it is made for me! I am 5&#8242;8 and 135 lbs at contest weight.  The straps convert from an &#8220;x&#8221; in the back for figure, to straight across for bikini!  So it can be worn for both divisions. The fabric is a holographic purple and is STUNNING on stage! It is stoned with a beautiful pattern in pink, blue, green, and crystal ab Swarovski crystals.</p>
<p><a href="http://taraathatcher.com/database/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/IMG_3221.jpg" rel="lightbox[717]"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-720" title="IMG_3221" src="http://taraathatcher.com/database/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/IMG_3221-122x300.jpg" alt="" width="122" height="300" /></a>The suit is in excellent condition, and has been worn three times by me.  I cannot even tell you how many compliments I received on this suit! From competitors, judges, spectators, everyone! I am sad that I need to find a new suit for next year, but take advantage of this opportunity!!! I am asking $550.00 for the suit, which includes shipping in the US.  I accept either money order, or check as payment.</p>
