How does your family respond to your competing? My family is incredibly supportive of my competition goals. They came to all my local shows and have even traveled to support me at national & pro shows. My relatives in other states stay in touch & support me via Facebook at IFBB Pro Nancy Bowlin.
What kind of goals have you set for yourself, short-term and long-term? My number one goal is always to improve myself from my previous show. It's important to me to improve both my physique and my stage presence for every show.
What's currently on your iPod? I listen to a wide variety of music depending on my mood I like oldies and current artists. I enjoy country, pop, and rock & roll. Sometimes when I'm doing long cardio sessions I entertain myself by making up new words to my favorite songs. Some of my favorite artists are The Rolling Stones, KC & the Sunshine Band, Cyndi Lauper, Katy Perry, Pink, Ke$ah, Big & Rich, Brooks & Dunn, Shania Twain, and Toby Keith.
What are your hobbies and interests outside of the bodybuilding world? I enjoy yoga during off season. We’re a very active family so our get togethers typically involve some type of physical activity. We enjoy skiing, snow mobiling, golf and going to the shooting range together. We also enjoy relaxing at home, cooking together and playing board games like Monopoly.
Do you have a favorite exercise? My all time favorite exercise is pull ups they make me feel invincible. Every time I do a set I'm like "Boom!! I'm such a BEAST!!" and I a
m always stronger the rest of my work out.
