Are you feeling like you’re working twice as hard in the gym but things just aren’t working or looking the way they used to? Feeling frustrated about what to eat and what not to? What amounts of weights you should be lifting and how often? To Cardio or not to Cardio?

There’s no short of information and advice out there about how you can look different than you do now. BUT our guest today, Erin Oprea is here to tell you that you should only worry about being the best version of you and not aspiring to look like someone else.

I ask her all the questions about bodies and aging and how we need to adjust our workout and diet accordingly. Erin is here to tell you it’s not about how you look, it’s about how you feel and the daily activities you need to stay healthy for (like walking up a flight of stairs).

Her story of how she got where she is today is truly inspirational and her motivation is admirable. I can’t wait for you to hear her story and all the great heath and fitness tidbits she shares.
