BIKINI or FIT MODEL?

ビキニとフィットモデルの違いって？

Fitness competitions are constantly evolving, and with the launch of the NPC Fit Model Division, we’ve been hearing from so many women who want to know: how does this new category compare to Bikini, and which one is right for me? These are great questions, and we love helping women figure out where their unique strengths and goals fit best. Let’s dive into the differences so you can feel confident choosing the division that aligns with your vision of your ideal physique.

What is the Bikini Division? ビキニ部門とは？

Bikini is a division of bodybuilding and fitness competitions that is known for its athletic yet feminine aesthetic, this division is highly competitive and requires a polished combination of muscle tone, symmetry, and stage presence.

Key Characteristics of the Bikini Division:　ビキニ部門の主な特徴：

Physique 体型: A toned and defined look with an emphasis on round glutes, tight abs, and an hourglass shape. Muscle development should be balanced without being overly muscular or striated.

Conditioning コンディション: Competitors are lean, but not to the extreme seen in Figure or Physique divisions. Visible tie-ins between the glutes and hamstrings are rewarded.

Suit 水着：Bikini suits are embellished with rhinestones and connectors, with minimal coverage bottoms that sit high on the hips to enhance the waist-to-hip ratio.

Posing ポージング：Outgoing, fluid, and even flirty posing that emphasizes personality and confidence. Poses showcase glutes, legs, and abs.
