Staying focused and committed is key to being successful

– says sensational Miss Bikini champion Rosanna Fung

By Timothy Jaikarran

Rosanna Fung is by no means a name any man can forget. Avid fans of bodybuilding have that name etched in their minds, since the utterly sensational Rosanna Fung is one of the most dominant figures in the Miss Bikini category of the sport of bodybuilding.

Many ladies have competed in the Miss Bikini category, but, unarguably, none has come that close as to contemplate overthrowing Fung for that particular title.
Among the accolades this statuesque athlete has won in the Miss Bikini category are: The Miss Bikini Novice 2019 Championship, the Seniors 2019 Championship, placing 2nd at the Stage of Champions 2019 event, and her most recent accomplishment: the 2020 edition of the Resilience Bodybuilding Championship.
Fung sat down with this publication to answer a series of questions pertaining to her accomplishments, and what she does to constantly produce the best version of herself when it’s competition time.
The question-and-answer conversation is captured below.
Q: What was it like preparing for this competition, with gyms closed?
A: Having to deal with gyms being closed and maintaining my title, I ended up collecting some equipment and taking it to my location in town, and I opened up a little personal studio…where I did all of my training. I have a spin bike and Land Ranger machine, so I got all of my training and cardio sessions done right under my roof. So, it was quite convenient for me, and it really helped me with my preparation for this show.
Q: What were some of the difficulties faced in your preparation?
A: This most recent preparation was not as taxing as the last shows, because I did do those shows consecutively, as it was three shows in one year. Nevertheless, I managed to maintain a fairly lean physique, up until I heard that they were doing the Resilience show. But, mentally, since I opened my personal home studio, my schedule has been kind of hectic, as I would have to have training sessions and an hour of cardio every morning into my client schedule. It was really tight. I would have to stretch myself very thin to get at least six hours of sleep, then awake and do cardio, and then train my clients. So that is what I would say is one of my most difficult challenges to deal with.
Q: What were some of the positives that you took away from this competition?
A: I think one of the positives that I drew from this show was being able to maintain such a lean physique, which made it so easy for me to focus on the areas of my body that needed to be picked up on, or the areas I was lagging in, such as my back and hamstrings. So, having about 15 percent body fat, it was so much easier to focus on that, and not have to worry to lose this fat and get things done.
Q: What’s next for you?
A: For me, that would be the Seniors Bodybuilding Championships 2021, followed by, or preceding, the CAC Championships, of which they haven’t announced a date or time; but I’m super excited to prepare for that.
Fung disclosed that, for her, the key to success is being “committed and focused”, as one must have clear and achievable goals, and stay motivated at all times. She asserted that that is what works for her, as she knows what she wants and all she needs to be is commit to bringing out the best version of herself.
