She Knows How to Get Back on Track
Simone emphasizes the importance of getting back on track after enjoying summer with her little one. She acknowledges the challenge of finding time to work out but stresses the importance of making health a priority. "You just need to make your health and wellness a priority," she says. Her latest program, featuring 12 x 20-minute workouts, helps build strength and endurance, perfect for getting back into a routine.
She Strength Trains
Strength training is an essential part of Simone's fitness routine, and she encourages her followers to give 20 minutes three times a week to see improvements. "Watch those (peri-)menopausal symptoms ease," she shares. Her strength training program includes lateral raises, Arnold presses, and bent-arm lateral raises, aiming for three sets of 10-12 reps.
She Trains Smarter
Simone emphasizes the importance of training smarter, not longer. She says, "Sometimes the thought of an hour-long workout can be overwhelming." Instead, she recommends starting with 20 minutes of focused movements that work your muscles to fatigue and build strength and endurance.
She Works Your Upper Body
For upper-body strength, Simone shares a series of exercises from her program. She suggests moves like bicep curls, single-arm presses, and rows in a knee hover, with three sets of 10-12 reps on each side.
Her Methods Help Ease Perimenopause
Simone is open about experiencing symptoms of perimenopause, such as low energy and brain fog. Her workouts have helped shift her mood and body. "I have experienced ALL of the symptoms of peri-menopause," she says, and her new program has helped her find relief.
She Doesn't Skip Leg Day
Simone encourages followers not to skip leg day, offering exercises like reverse lunges, Bulgarian split squats, and curtsy to reverse lunges. She suggests doing 12 reps on each side for four rounds, reminding us that consistency is key.
