Ms. Namita Nayyar: You have an impeccable bodybuilder’s body. Share your exercise routine that you do to maintain such a perfect physique?
Ms. Erica Cordie: YOU DON’T HAVE TO GET READY IF YOU STAY READY. I’ve seen things on the internet about people asking if there are any “off season” pictures of me out there and the answer is no. I don’t have an “off season” like most bodybuilders. I look the same year around. How do I do it? Clean eating and healthy living.
My daily training regiment usually consist of doing an hour of cardio in the morning and an hour of weights and days that I can I will do another hour of cardio at night. I train on a 4 day split. Day 1 Back, Day 2, Shoulders, Day 3 Legs, Day 4 Arms. I don’t train chest because I don’t like the way chest muscles look on myself. I don’t have a set day off from the gym, it could be 1 day a month or it could be a week every few months. Just depends on if I fill I need it or maybe times if I’m on vacation. Although I just took a Bahama cruise and I worked out a couple of the days, so nothing is set in stone.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: What is your diet? Do you take a particular fixed regulated diet comprising of nutrients and vitamins to keep you in perfect health?
Ms. Erica Cordie: Do I love pizza and donuts? Absolutely I do! Eating is one my favorite thing to do next to training at the gym. But what I love more than pizza and donuts are the daily complements people give me about my arms or shoulders or physique in general , as well as just seeing myself strong and fit ,having the body I love to have. It’s what motivates me to not eat bad.
I will have my cheat days, maybe a few days a month or every couple of months, and a few times a year I’ll take a week or so off. My cheat days,{Splurge days } will consist of pizza, cinnamon rolls, caramel frappacino’s , some donuts, cheeseburger or two, and reese’s peanut butter cups, those are a few of the foods I enjoy having when I’m having a splurge day.
Every other day I stick to a high protein and fairly high fat diet. Now I’m starting to have a few more carbs than I use to, like sweet potatoes and oatmeal. Not everyday but maybe every other day or every couple of days. I have a Ninja blender which I use daily. In it I will blend spinach, carrots, apples, ginger, chia seeds, coconut oil, strawberries, blueberries, bananas, pears, raspberries and occasionally a few different things. I will eat chicken, fish, red meat, turkey or tuna fish on a daily basis. My diet does have of a lot of cheese in it, I have always been the biggest cheese eater:} I take a daily multivitamin along with flax or fish oil, psyllium husk (fiber) , a calcium vitamin D, a probiotic (healthy bacteria) and a extra B-12.
