The Backstage Hacks with Aimee Delgado
In this episode of Fit Body Lifestyle, we pulled back the curtain on what really goes into preparing for show day with the amazing Aimee Delgado—Olympian, coach, and all-around supermom. We weren’t just talking about flexing on stage; we were talking about the systems and little hacks that make those precious backstage moments stress-free.
From packing the perfect bag to creating a calm corner in the chaos, Aimee shared her go-to routines and habits that keep her stage-ready without the last-minute panic. And yes—her secret weapon involves a butt pad and some trusty olive oil spray!
Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or just a “type A” traveler who loves a good system, these hacks are all about reducing stress, saving time, and stepping into your spotlight with confidence.
5 Key Takeaways from Aimee Delgado’s Backstage Routine
1. Create Detailed Checklists for Every Stage of Your Journey
Aimee swears by her categorized checklists—plane ride, check-in, backstage. Each list ensures she has everything from pump-up bands to her athlete number. Stress less by writing it all down instead of relying on memory.
2. Pack Smart and Double Up on Essentials
Two bikinis, two pairs of heels, and duplicates of your key items can save you if anything breaks, spills, or goes missing. A well-organized rolling carry-on is your best backstage buddy.
3. Protect Your Physique (and Your Sanity) Backstage
Small items like a butt pad, fuzzy slippers, and a blanket make a huge difference. They prevent glute marks, keep you clean and warm, and help you carve out a personal “zen zone” in the chaos.
4. Know Your Body and Products
Aimee opts for a light olive oil spray instead of heavy glaze to avoid pooling or creases under the stage lights. Understanding how products react on your skin is key to that perfect stage look.
5. Anticipate the Unexpected with a “Helper Kit”
Hand wipes, safety pins, tampons, Advil, and scissors—these little lifesavers can rescue you and your teammates from sticky situations (literally, in the case of honey-covered pump-up bands!).
Aimee’s message was crystal clear: preparation is power. Master your systems, expect the unexpected, and you’ll walk on stage calm, collected, and ready to shine.
