CANADIAN PHYSIQUE ALLIANCE FEBRUARY 2019 | Page 50

Where do you live? I live in Harriston, ON Are you a student or do you work? I am a co-owner in Epworth Contracting, an agricultural equipment installation company. What got you interested in competing? I have always chosen to live a healthy lifestyle and entering a competition took my motivation to the next level of commitment to continue to build and strengthen my physique. How many CPA shows have you competed in? One show! I competed in the Oktoberfest Natural Classic in Kitchener/Waterloo. This was my first show and I was fortunate to win the Spotlight Award. How would you like to inspire others in the fitness industry? I would like to inspire all the working mothers out there. It is possible to make time, working together as a family, on your health and fitness goals to achieve great results. A little bit each day goes a long way and if you keep it up it becomes a lifestyle. “A little bit each day goes along way and if you stick with it becomes a lifestyle” What is your favourite workout routine? My favourite routines have to be working on my abs and building my glutes. Do you compete for fun or are you working towards a Pro Card? Next year it would be nice to work towards my pro card but I’m in it for the fun and learning experience. If you had any advice for anyone thinking of competing what would it be? If you are thinking of competing, I say go for it! You only have one life! It is an amazing learning experience and it builds character, motivation and mental discipline. A fitness lifestyle is very healthy and rewarding, at the end of each day you look and feel great! SAMANTHA
