Triple-A Fitness & Aerobics

Ms. Fitness & Mr. Fitness - Legacy
Regional Qualifier Rules

  Overview

The Triple-A Fitness & Aerobics, Ms. Fitness and Mr. Fitness Legacy events are held to determine who is the best overall fitness athlete, for each division. To make this determination, each participant is judged in three different areas of total fitness. Those areas are: Skill and Agility, which is judged in the Fitness Routine Round; Body Balance and Musculature, which is judged in the Comparisons or Physique Round; and Mind-Spirit, which is judged in the Spokesperson Round. Contestants may compete in the following categories and divisions: Adult, Juniors, and Masters. Junior Division is age 8 to 18. 17 and 18 year-olds may compete in an adult division. Masters Division is Age 40 plus. Masters may compete in the adult division. The scores are based on a total possible score of 45 points, and each round will count as 1/3 of the total score. Special Note: The Junior Division does not have a "Comparisons Round" so their total possible score will be 30 points, and each round will count as half of their total score.

  Fitness Routine Round

The Fitness Routine should demonstrate an overall balance of strength, flexibility, endurance, speed, aerobics, agility, and dance. The costume must be suitable for aerobic-fitness activity and suitable for all audiences. It can be a 1-piece or 2-piece costume, and both men and women should be properly supported and protected. Clean, white fitness shoes are preferred, along with white socks. Women and girls should wear tights (flesh-tone preferred, but not mandatory) if their costumes are cut higher than the mid-thigh range. All routines must be no shorter than 75 seconds, and no longer than 90 seconds. There is a plus or minus 5-second grace period. All routines at the District Qualifier level will be judged in the following areas: Execution (how well & safely the moves are done), Endurance (speed and agility, how strong the performance is), and Excitement (entertaining and engaging). Up to 15 points total.

  Comparisons Round

In this round, each athlete (juniors excluded) is judged on his or her fitness appearance. Except for the Masters Division, women must wear a 2-piece swimsuit and men should wear "Speedo-style" swimwear. In the Masters Division, although they retain the option to dress in the same manner as the Open Division, the women have the option of wearing a 1-piece swimsuit, Tankini or mid-thigh length unitard. The Master's men have the option of wearing a boxer or trunk-cut swimsuit, tank-top, or mid-thigh length unitard. Thong or string cut swim suits are strictly prohibited for all athletes. All women participating in this round should wear heels while the men may wear fitness shoes, sandals, or go with bare feet. The judges will be looking for body proportion not size, and a "reasonable amount of body fat". Posing or flexing can disqualify an athlete from this round. This is not a bodybuilding competition! The judges look for an even muscular balance throughout the entire body, and will be comparing each athlete's body in its relaxed state. Up to 15 points total.

  Spokesperson Round

The final round is used to determine which athlete is best suited to represent the fitness industry through Seminars, Lectures, Workshops, Print Work and Camera Readiness. In this round, each athlete must demonstrate their ability to Walk, Speak and Present themselves in formal attire, which is a tuxedo for Men & Junior boys, formal evening gown for women, and party dress or formal for Junior girls. Each speech should showcase mind, body and spirit connection to wellness as a whole. Wellness can relate to physical fitness, the fitness and wellness of a home, the community or world. The speech should not be shorter than 30 seconds, or longer than 75 seconds.

  Advancing After the District Qualifier

The top 5 winners will advance to the Ms. Fitness & Mr. Fitness, Legacy Crown Championships held at the annual Triple-A Fitness & Aerobics International Grand Finals. If there are fewer than ten (10) athletes in any division, the head judge will make the determination as to how many from each division will advance to the finals. The prizes awarded at each District Qualifier may vary from event to event, and may be different each year. Special Note: Ms. Fitness USA may invited the top three (3) athletes in the Women's Open Division to the Ms. Fitness USA/World event, held in Las Vegas each September.
