Aussie fitness expert Michelle Bridges shared an epic throwback on Instagram this week, sharing photos from her body building days.

"Throw Back Tuesday! Ha!," Biggest Loser trainer captioned the pics.

"I've had a lot of people lately ask me about when I competed in Miss Figure, Miss Australia Fitness and Miss World Fitness in USA and are there any pics??"

Are there ever!

The 44-year-old uploaded a collage of herself onstage during a competition with her ultra-ripped body oiled-up and wearing an itsy-bitsy bikini.

"Here's a couple of snaps from back in the day....gawd that bikini was a bit small?!? I'm cringing but also quite chuffed. I won the Miss Oceania title and other bits and pieces. Hard training. Tough nutrition. Ticked the box. xxx #teamMB #changetrainer #fitness".

These days Michelle is much more relaxed about her fitness regime, and helps others transform their lives with her Michelle Bridges 12-week Body Transformation.

Speaking to Prevention magazine earlier this year, she revealed her tips for helping people achieve their fitness goals.

“My absolute number one tip is consistency" she said.

"Don’t overwhelm yourself with a list as long as your arm—it never works,” she added.

“Whether you want to write a book, change your career, run in a 100km event, or lose three kilos, pick just one thing and back it up.”
