The INBF has done it again!!! The INBF has added a new division to its natural competitions worldwide. Beginning with the 2007 INBF MuscleTech World Bodybuilding and Figure Championships, women competitors were invited to compete in Ms. Fit Body - and more than 20 entered the first show!
This new division is called the INBF "Ms. Fit Body." What is this new classification, you ask? The new Ms. Fit Body division picks up on a trend popular in Europe and Australia. In these countries, women competitors have a division that combines the beauty and fit-looking body of Figure with a few poses borrowed from Bodybuilding, yet which are done with unique femininity.
The INBF has introduced this new specific division as "Ms. Fit Body," which uses some of the same rules, but with specific requirements of competitors.
