MISS WELLNESS DEFINITION:

The Wellness Division is designed for women who exhibit a physique characterised by a limited muscle separation, more athleticism, and aesthetic appeal, featuring a fuller muscle belly compared to the Bikini Division. Situated between bikini and physique categories, Wellness competitors are evaluated based on overall body tone. Desired attributes include a firm appearance of body parts with reduced body fat, akin to the bikini category, avoiding excessive muscularity or leanness, and ensuring freedom from muscle separation
and striations.

NOTE:

Physiques excessively muscular will receive lower marks.

Judging criteria and competitor rounds mirror those of the women’s bikini division, involving quarter turns and an individual ‘I’ walk presentation. Key considerations include vertical proportions (legs to upper body length) and horizontal proportions (hips and waist to shoulder width). Women with slightly larger hips, quads, and glutes may have an advantage in this division.
