When Tosca Reno turned 40-years old, she was over weight and unhappy. Determined to change her life, she joined the local gym, hopped on a treadmill and took control. Over the next two years, she shed the pounds and developed a physique she was proud of, a physique that placed 5th in the open class at her first show. Her transformation was drastic and so were the changes she made in her life. Tosca wanted to share her journey to help others regain control and reach their dreams. She began writing a column in Oxygen magazine and authored a 10-book series, The Eat-Clean diet.
Now at 49-years-old, she is staring in a documentary/soap, Tosca: Flexing at 49, that has been described as:
An exhilarating and intimate eight-part half-hour series that captures her highs and lows as she struggles to balance her commitment to her family, her work and another cook-book launch with rigorous training and an extreme diet in preparation for the big competition. There will be pain, gain, highs and lows. Will it be all worth it in the end?
