How does one of the Top 10 Female Leaders of 2020 recover from her workout?  Eri Anton uses cryotherapy to boost her workout recovery. As an entrepreneur, business owner, social media influencer, and fitness model, Eri lives a busy life.  Cryotherapy helps her keep her fitness at an elite level, and she recently spoke with Cryo Innovations about her love for cryotherapy in sunny Costa Mesa, California.

When did you begin using whole body cryotherapy as part of your self-care routine? Eri: I had my first cryo about two weeks ago at 6th Sense Fitness in Costa Mesa.  It's a new boutique gym with an amazing amount of high-tech equipment. I was instantly a fan of cryo.

Why cryotherapy of all things? Eri: I am a busy woman!  I am a business owner, blogger, designer, and a fitness model.  My daily schedule is always full. I am currently preparing for a fitness competition so my workouts are increasing in intensity.  Cryo is 3 minutes and done! Afterward I feel so refreshed, more alert, and my body and skin feel tight.

You write about metabolism and the Basal Metabolic Rate in your blogs and how exercise can induce the caloric deficit needed for weight loss.  Can you talk about how cryotherapy's caloric burn helps with your weight management? For starters the most important thing is a balanced diet, not a starvation diet.  That's not healthy. Losing weight is hard for everyone but a healthy diet, regular exercise, and consistency are the three pillars that I write about on my website.  I know that cryo burns calories but I don't count that in as part of my diet and meal planning. Instead I see it as an upside to my workouts. 

Some athletes think that cryotherapy is too expensive per session.  As someone who competes in fitness competitions what are your thoughts about spending money on fitness? There is a cost value relationship in all purchases we make.  Your health is the most important investment you can make. Some gyms offer Groupons, others offer package deals.  It's about priorities.

Have you ever tried using cryotherapy for jet lag? (Laughs) No, I haven't!  But I travel a lot so if it will help I am in!

What can the world expect from Eri Anton in the next year?  Two years? Most people know me for my modeling work for Bang Energy as an Elite Athlete and my Instagram, and those are still growing.  I am also competing in fitness competitions in 2020 and beyond. But I'm most excited about my new fashion line Inspire by Eri Anton.  I personally designed everything for every outfit: the material, patterns, colors, all the way down to the stitching and I am excited about what the future holds.
