Julie Rene is trying to motivate her followers to get in shape – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the bodybuilder flaunts her amazing figure in a two-piece set. “GIRL, I was SO FED UP WITH MY OWN BS that I made a change 👇🏼When I started my fitness journey I tried EVERYTHING but I ALWAYS ended up right back where I DIDN’T WANT TO BE,” she said, revealing the list of things she used to do. “And…. LADY it’s your turn.” How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
1. These Are the Mistakes She Made
In the post Julia explains that every time she “thought” she committed to making changes in my life she actually did the following.
"❌ talked myself out of it because the goal seemed “too big”
❌ negotiated with myself on my commitments
❌ didn’t keep the promises I made to myself
❌ blamed my circumstances for why I didn’t succeed
❌ let peer pressure from friends and family interfere with my goals."
“FINALLY I was so FED UP with my own BS I made a CHOICE to…🎀STOP getting in my own way, making excuses, playing the victim, and putting myself LAST. I needed to LOVE MYSELF ENOUGH to do something about it,” she added.
2. This Is Her Pre-Gym Routine
Julia recently shared her “pre gym routine” with her followers. First, she eats a “high carb plus lean protein meal one hour before training. you’ll have the energy you need to train + enough time to digest so you don’t workout on a full tummy,” she says. She also brings a full water bottle to the gym to avoid dehydration. She then mixes “pre-workout, pump and salt to drink while lifting. this gives me sustained energy throughout my lifts + helps replenish electrolytes,” she says.
3. Protein Coffee
Julia drinks Buff Coffee, which allows her to enjoy the perks of caffeine while also getting protein. “With 18g of #protein and 125mg of caffeine, it’s meant to complement your days and help you reach your goals. Start your mornings with a boost, or treat yourself in the afternoon, no matter where you are,” she says in a post.
4. Tips on How to Shave Calories From Your Diet
In a recent post, Julia shared some “pro tips” on how to shave calories from your diet. She says to start by using an olive oil spray to cook with “so you’re not dousing your food in tons of calories from olive oil,” she says. Next, “swap your full calorie sodas for propel zero, 0 sugar soda of choice, MIO, or Gatorade zero.” Also, “don’t be afraid to use sauces just check the nutrition label before covering your food with it you could be adding tons of additional calories without even knowing it,” she writes. Lastly, “if you’re too busy order your protein in bulk!”
