Amy Stankoven

Occupation: Lifeguard, while I'm waiting to finish my Dental Hygiene in Victoria :)

Favorite Sports Supplements: Maxx Essentials/ Magnum Quatro Protein Powders/ like mixing it up!

Being on the cover of Status: Would be AMAZING! I always dreamed of being on a cover some day, and to have that dream become a reality would be incredible.

Bio: I am 23 years old, grew up in the small city of Enderby in the Okanagan. I am training for the WBFF Fitness Modsel Competition in Vancouver at the moment. This is my 3rd year competing, the past two years I have entered the Figure Competition at the BCABBA Western Canadians in Kelowna, BC, and did bodybuilding for fun in 2008 as well ;) I love having a goal to strive for, and that is why it is fun for me to register for competitions. I am a big Goal-setter and have many things on the go usually! I am a lifeguard & Swim Instructor and a BCRPA Weight Training Instructor. My long term goal is to become a Dental Hygienist, and I'm half-way there! (another 2 years left) Besides being busy with work, I am planning my upcoming Wedding for this June and hitting the gym hard! 

Favorite Quote: "Be strong and courageous, Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you  nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6 

Nutrition: I eat clean. I am not perfect, but strive to eat clean at least 80% of the time. I like a good multivitamin, like Pro-Vit, and don't really take much supplements besides a good brand Protein powder and sometimes some Glutamine, etc. to help with muscle recovery.

Training: I train with weights 5x/ week, and do Cardio 6x/ week.

What separates Status from any other fitness magazine: It is STRONG and VIBRANT!
