props may be used in this division. Contestants should demonstrate flexibility, creativity and showmanship. However, there are no specific athletic or strength moves required. Only the athletic skills in which a contestant has experience should be incorporated. Costumes will be judged as well during the Fitness Round, so special attention should be given. No G-string or thong-type costumes may be worn, and tennis shoes or athletic shoes must be worn. Props are allowed but must be approved by Pageant officials at least 2 weeks in advance of the performance. Routines may not exceed two minutes and once begun cannot be repeated. Music must be professionally recorded for maximum performance and audience & judges impression.

Sequenced bikinis and high heels for ladies, plain black hot pants for men (quarter turns will be done here to analyse body tone, shape and symmetry).

Judges will analyze body shape, tone, symmetry, complexion, poise, presentation and overall condition. Also, they will be looking for fit, toned bodies that display proper conditioning. However, the Fitness Universe
Pageant Series are not bodybuilding events or associated with any bodybuilding organization. Therefore, physical definition and excessive muscular development will be penalized. Contestants will be judged
individually and in group comparisons. G-string or thong type swimsuits are not allowed.

Contestants will be judged on overall symmetry and muscle definition. Contestants should have clean, tight lines and appear to have reasonable low levels of body fat. We do not want the muscle mass, ripped to the bone, striated look, or vascular look of a bodybuilder. Contestants should appear to have constructed their physiques through diet and fitness training, no drugs.
