Australian model, singer and presenter Erin Holland is celebrating the launch of her new health and fitness app, Shift with Erin.
The 32-year-old told Daily Mail Australia this week that it took almost two years to develop the app, which centres on personalised training and goals for each user.
Erin told Daily Mail Australia about her own approach to health and fitness and said that while she can’t give our specific tips and tricks because everyone is different, she eats clean, exercises almost daily but will always indulge her sweet tooth.

Erin said that if she’s got a busy day ahead, she will skip the gym and focus on resting.
‘For me, I keep alcohol to a bare minimum, exercise everyday I am physically able to,’ she said.
‘But if I have a massive day, I’m not going to get up at 3am to get up and exercise,’ she said.

‘I try and make good and healthy choices based on what my metabolism is like. But hey, if I feel like chocolate, I’m going to eat it.’
She added: ‘I know what happens if I restrict myself from the chocolate, I’ll eat like three blocks!’
Erin said that sugar is her vice and said that she always keeps a packet of red frogs in her handbag for a sugar hit.
‘I have the sweetest tooth in the world,’ she said.
‘Sugar is my vice 100 per cent. I always have a bag of red frogs in my bag. But rather than depriving myself, [for example] it was Easter, I had some Easter eggs.’

‘I try and make good and healthy choices based on what my metabolism is like. But hey, if I feel like chocolate, I’m going to eat it,’ she said
She added: ‘I had Thai the other night… you can always make good choices wherever you go and shouldn’t deprive yourself of anything.’
Erin’s new ‘healthy lifestyle’ app is personalised to each user, with users taking a quiz to help determine their body type and health and fitness goals.
With the help of experts, the app features unique recipes, grocery lists and workouts that change every week.
Users can subscribe to the app for approximately $40 per month, or $10 per week.
‘I went to college at Sydney University with one of the app developers,’ Erin said.
‘They came up with this concept I agree with. One size doesn’t fit all with health and fitness, it’s impossible, we’re all different body types… this focusses on understanding what somebody’s metabolic makeup is,’ she said.
‘Some people can eat anything and not put on weight, there’s people who can look at a carb and blow out, others who love Keto… everyone is so different.’
She added: ‘I’ve learned over the years, diets down work, restricting yourself doesn’t work.’
She said the app contains all the information anyone will need on their health and fitness journey.
‘Because I’m not a qualified health or nutrition expert, I wasn’t comfortable giving people advice because it may not work for you at home. So now, having a resource I can direct people to instead which will be more beneficial for them is a much better way to do it.’
