Emily Simpson In Workout Gear Is “Over Here Living My Best Life”

1. Weights In the Bedroom

Simpson keeps weights in her bedroom so she’s always ready for a workout. “I keep a set of free weights and a kettlebell next to my bed… if you have time to watch Netflix, you have time to get in shape 🙌12-15 reps per exercise, three rounds. The kettlebell is 15 pounds, the free weights are 12 pounds. These three full body exercises are easy to do and are a great way to build muscle, tone up and they are good cardio. Three rounds of these and your heart rate will be way up. Do you prefer to work out at home, or at the gym?” she captioned an Instagram post.

2. Barbell At the Gym

Simpson uses a barbell when she works out at the gym. “Good Morning Friends and Haters! ❤️🙌 What do you think?! Workout skirts at the gym? 🤔 I say wear whatever you want as long as you’re there putting in the work who cares!” she captioned an Instagram post of herself working out in a white skirt and matching sports bra.

3. Consistency and Repetition

Simpson swears by consistency and repetition over motivation to build excellent habits. “I get up at the same time, eat the same things, repeat a lot of the same workouts (but consistently add weight). Committing to a routine has helped me build a strong, healthy body. What works for you?!” she captioned a video of herself using strength training equipment at the gym.

4. Movement Is Therapy

Simpson lifts weights at least three times a week, for benefits that go beyond the physical. “Lifting weights for me has been transformative, both physically and mentally. There’s something about lifting things that are heavy that heals your body and mind. It’s my own personal therapy 💪🏻,” she captioned an Instagram post.

5. Healthy Home Cooking

Simpson cooks at home as much as possible these days. “The biggest change I’ve made in this health journey is rewiring my brain to eat MOST meals at home… I’m not the greatest cook 🤷‍♀️ and I don’t have a lot of time so this is one of my favorite easy breezy dinners that I eat a couple times a week… Lots of protein and healthy carbs from the sweet potato, it’s quick, tasty and there’s no mixing or measuring! And I don’t count calories or macros so don’t ask what the calorie count is or how many Macros this meal has 💁‍♀️,” she captioned an Instagram post.

1. She Lost 30 Pounds

Emily has been very open with her weight struggles. In a November 2020 Instagram post she shared a before-and-after photo of herself after losing 30 pounds. “I never wanted to show these photos publicly because Im ashamed of where I let myself get, but here I am showing my transformation because I want to be transparent with you all. I worked my butt off to get here and Im so proud of how far Ive come and continue to go! I lost myself and my confidence through gaining 30 lbs. in one year in front of millions of people on a Reality TV Show. Here I am a year and a half later feeling sexy, confident in my own skin, and like the EMILY I am meant to be!” she wrote.

2. She Hired a Trainer

The first thing Emily did to lose the weight was hire a personal trainer, Paulina Taylor Hefferan, who she works out with at 6 a.m. three days per week. "Sometimes we become too overwhelmed with life, kids, depression, weight gain, hormones, relationships, illness etc ... but you have to start somewhere. Make today that day. A year from now will pass by regardless. Might as well make it your healthiest yet,” she captioned this Instagram post. "I have more work to do to get to my ultimate goal. "But I’m enjoying the journey and relishing in the successes."

3. She Doesn’t Weigh Herself

While she did admit to losing a lot of weight, Emily has revealed that she tries not to pay attention to the number of the scale. “Not only have I lost significant body fat and several inches, but I’ve gained a new found acceptance of my body. I don’t weigh myself very often because the number on the scale doesn’t define me as a person nor is it wholly indicative of progress. I measure my progress and Heath by other methods of measurement such as endurance, strength, how many times I can walk up the Salt Creek Hill in one day and how I look in my clothes. I’ve changed physically but most importantly I’ve changed mentally. I’ve learned that weight loss doesn’t have to be all in or nothing, you just have to do 1 thing better than the day before. The key to long term results is consistency and having someone in your corner cheering you on!” she revealed in this Instagram post.

Emily revealed her "best trick to help with losing weight” during an Ask Me Anything thread on Instagram. "[Don't] eat past 6 pm and drink lots of water," she said. "Try it for a week. You'll see a difference!"

5. She Doesn’t Count Calories

She also revealed in an Instagram Story (per Bravo) that there’s another number she doesn’t pay attention to. "I don't count calories...that's too much work for me. I just keep staples in my refrigerator at all times: ground turkey, spinach/lettuce, eggs, avocados, tomatoes, shredded carrots, black beans, corn tortillas, salsa [,] vegan cheese (I avoid dairy)...etc."

Singer Jessie J is spending time in paradise, and she’s looking fantastic doing it. Jessie posted a bright new photo on Instagram of herself at the beach at sunset.

Read on to see 5 ways Jessie J stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Says Fitness is "About the Work"

Jessie did a campaign with Propel Water to promote fitness. The campaign was called “Let’s Get Ugly,” and promoted people who looked sweaty and tired after a hard workout. Jessie told the Huffington Post that this was the reason she wanted to take part in this campaign. “The world now is driven by this perfection of fitness. What I loved about this campaign was they promoted the message about getting ugly and getting sweaty. It’s about the work. When I come out of the gym, I’m blotchy red and sweaty, but I feel good. It’s about the longevity of your life, not how you look in the morning.”

2. She’s Motivated By Endorphins

An important part of working out and being healthy is staying consistent. One of the ways to be consistent is to be motivated. Jessie says to Women’s Health that the post-workout feelings and endorphins are her ways of staying motivated to exercise. “I never really used to believe in that until I started working out. You do really get this sluggish feeling before a workout where you’re like, ‘Oh, I don’t want to do it,’ and you might feel a little low. But you do a workout, and it gives you that pickup. It makes me feel alive."

3. She Gave Up Sugar

Jessie told the Huffington Post that she decided to give up sugar. While she admitted it was difficult at first, she said it was extremely satisfying and rewarding. “I went through my wanting to punch anyone in the face for a few days and being really miserable, but now I am on the other side of it. It’s amazing. I would advise anyone to try it. It’s not easy, but it has been amazing. I am awake, I am sleeping better, my anxiety is better, I just feel brighter in myself. My skin has definitely improved. My cellulite has improved. There is no negative about quitting sugar.”

4. She Wants To Learn About Her Health

For Jessie, knowledge is an important factor in staying healthy. She tells the Huffington Post that she had health issues as a teenager, which caused her to start doing more research. She says that this knowledge helps her take care of herself. “I am a point where I want to be the healthiest I can be. So, I know that there has been a lot of recent discovery that sugar is attached to dementia and brain disease and heart disease. I have heart disease and had a stroke at 17, so I am always trying to be up on my health knowledge.”

5. She Mixes Up Her Workouts

Jessie talked about some of her favorite ways to workout in her interview with the Huffington Post. She says that she likes to do a lot of different exercises, that way she stays interested and invested. “I can do anything from SoulCycle to yoga to dancing. I love weight training because it means I gain weight, which is important for me. I do dumb bells and I do a little bit of Thai boxing, so I just kind of mix it up. I get bored easily since I am an Aries.”
