CANADIAN PHYSIQUE ALLIANCE FALL ISSUE SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER | Page 63

Where do you live? I live in Calgary, Alberta. Are you a student or do you work? I work at Savers as a Front End Supervisor. What got you interested in competing? I always have had a competitive nature. Once I started bodybuilding people always commented on how good I looked and asked “Why don’t you compete?” So i picked my first show, I did it and I won. I was bit by the bug and will continue to compete. How many CPA shows have you competed in? Only one. I competed at the Alberta Winter Open in Calgary on March 16th. I won Overall Women’s Physique and was awarded the Spotkight Award at that show. How would you like to inspire others in the fitness industry? I am not trying to inspire anyone, but, at the same time, if I can get anyone interested in fitness or just being healthier, to me that is a win win. At the end of the day I am just me. What is you favorite workout routine? My favorite body part to train is whichever one is not aching or killing me at that time. Do you compete for fun or are you working towards a Pro Card? I am working towards a Pro Card. I do like to have some fun along the way because there is no point doing something you don’t like. What made you choose to compete “The CPA is the organization that could take my passion in the direction I want to go ” with the CPA? When I chose to compete with the CPA I looked at what they had to offer in regards to my long term goals. The CPA is the organization that could take my passion in the direction I want to go. If you had any advice for anyone thinking of competing what would it be? Don’t get in my way!!!(haha), but no seriously, if your heart is in it and you follow your passion you will do well. At the end of the day though, the person you need to impress most is YOU! LUCIE
