Erica Cordie: Leading Fitness Model Reveals Her Workout & Diet Secrets

Ms. Namita Nayyar: You have done bold photo shoots. What advice you wish to give to the women of today to be body confident in order to do such bold modeling?

Ms. Erica Cordie: So how do you get to the level of doing photoshoots in bikini’s or at least the confidence to do one. It really depends on where you are currently at. For women who have never worked out, the gym can be very intimidating. If you don’t know anything about working out, you should hire a personal trainer for your first month or two at the gym to learn how to properly workout. I personally believe in hiring a person who looks like they use their own advice. If you can’t afford a trainer, their are a million “how to” videos on youtube. I actually have some workout videos on my Youtube channel EricaCordieFitness.

My videos are not really tutorials, but there are plenty out there. Mine are mostly for entertainment, although I do plan on making more tutorials for people because of the high demand of questions and request I get. My youtube channel is fairly new.

Ms. Namita Nayyar: Advice and motivational words for our inspiring and budding fitness models who all are your fans, what should they do for their climb to the ladder of success in field of fitness modeling?

Ms. Erica Cordie: When I first started working out, I had a poster of Timea Majorova hanging up that I inspired to have a physique like. I think if you see it, believe it, you can achieve it. But if you don’t have a goal or a road map, how will you know when you have arrived.

Destroying my knee helped my realize a life long passion in bodybuilding. I recommend if your goal is to become a fitness model or just have a more muscular physique, find a picture of the type of physique you want and hang it up some where that you can see it daily. Maybe hang is up on the refrigerator, so when you go to get that late night snack and you see your goal, you choose something healthy or simply just close the door back.

My late night snack is usually string cheese of maybe some nuts or peanut butter. I was raised by a mother who didn’t let us eat junk food or drink pop. So I don’t really have bad habits to break. She taught me to eat healthy and organic fruits and vegetables. We always had a bowl of fresh fruit on the table instead of candy. The bottom line is you are what you eat. I know its and old cliché, but it can’t be more true.
