Favorite Sports Supplements: VPX Meltdown

Being on the cover of Status: It would be an amazing honor to be featured on the cover of Status Fitness and be recognized as a face of women's fitness.

Bio: I'm an athlete at heart - I grew up swimming and have recently started competing in Figure Competitions.  I won the novice class at my first show and am looking forward to competing in my first open class this summer. In

2009 I ran my first full marathon and am using the training to stay motivated and lean in my off-season.  I am always setting new goals and the sky is the limit. I love the confidence that working out provides - knowing that I can set any goal and with the proper training and nutrition reach it.

Favorite Quote(s): "Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength."

Nutrition / Supplements: I love VPX Meltdown as well as RTN's whey protein & women's meal replacement. I also use MHP Activite Sport Multi-Vitamin, probiotics & digestive enzymes every day.

Training: I lift four days a week while doing am cardio 6-7 days a week.  My favorite day is quads - noting feels better than leaving the gym after hitting heavy weights!

What separates Status from any other fitness magazine: Status Fitness provides a forum for women who don't subscribe to being scary skinny and aren't afraid to lift heavy.  It also offers fantastic nutritional advice, training tips and supplement reviews.
