Influencer Olivia Nevill in Two-Piece Workout Gear Says "Bodies are Meant to Change"

She’s Found Herself

Joan opened up about finding herself in the caption of her recent post. “In the past few months, so many of us have had our world shaken. My deepest ‘why’ has always been connection with my community. When this foundation was rattled… I felt the pain & the deep emotions so many of us share. For the first time in a long time, I felt lost. I felt uncertain. I second guessed everything about how to re-connect & rebuild. I retreated into myself. but I came to my mat every day. Creating THIS course reminded me (to borrow my own words from LAVA)… Who the F* I AM. I am a #Creator I am a #Force I am an #Empath I am a #GameChanger I am #Limitless ✨AND SO ARE YOU ✨I have FOUND myself again… and on a deeper, more powerful level.”

She Does Yoga

Joan is seen doing yoga poses in her Instagram reel. Yoga has a lot of benefits. Harvard Health says, “Yoga develops inner awareness. It focuses your attention on your body's abilities at the present moment. It helps develop breath and strength of mind and body. It's not about physical appearance. Yoga studios typically don't have mirrors. This is so people can focus their awareness inward rather than how a pose — or the people around them — looks. Surveys have found that those who practiced yoga were more aware of their bodies than people who didn't practice yoga. They were also more satisfied with and less critical of their bodies. For these reasons, yoga has become an integral part in the treatment of eating disorders and programs that promote positive body image and self-esteem.”

She Manages Her Stress

Joan makes sure to manage her stress. She talked about how she does so in the caption of this Instagram post. “One of the pillars of longevity is.. STRESS MANAGEMENT. I get this in under 30min a day with LAVA & Barre Blend + my 60 affirmation meditations. I ALSO get this in the simple moments of life that bring me joy. Walking my rescue dogs in the rain lets me habit stack so many things that contribute to my reverse aging. unconditional love & joy, grounding in nature, stepping away from my devices, getting fresh air into my lungs, a healthy dose of vitamin D, and time being present in the moment ♥️. I’d love to hear some of the ways YOU practice stress management ⬇️. Let me know in the comments. Happy Friday Friends! Xoxo E.”

She Swims

Joan likes to swim to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself swimming in Mallorca. Joan captioned them, “CURRENT MOOD✨. . .

Sometimes… the light & the tides change quickly. The key to happiness is how you respond. Create your OWN life 🫶🏻… I support you. #Retreat lessons ☀️🌊”

She Does HIIT

Joan likes to do HIIT workouts to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself doing them on Instagram. Joan captioned the post, “HIIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT 👊🏼@bodi LAVA HIIT training is unlike any other. I use intense strength training moves in sequence to elevate the heart rate WHILE building #POWER #STRENGTH & #EXPLOSIVITY without the joint-damaging impact. Whether you’re on week 1 or week3… how did you do in today’s HIIT? I needed a LOT of breaks, as the cardio interval time went up from week 1 (for me, the need for breaks came mostly from muscle fatigue before cardiovascular fatigue- though both were in play. *see facial expressions & boomers concern for my ‘panting’ 😆).”

Life Weights

Lauren “passionate” about exercise – especially strength training. “I made the switch from being a ‘cardio bunny’ to lifting heavy weights! During that time, I would go on social media to look at girls who competed in Fitness competitions,” she told Simply Shredded.

Don’t Waste Time Doing Lots of Cardio

Lauren maintains that doing too much cardio is a waste of time for her.“A workout routine focusing primarily on weight training with minimal to no cardio works best for me. My style of training is a cross between powerlifting and bodybuilding. I am an ectomorph body type and I find it quite hard to maintain muscle mass. Lifting heavy has really helped to stimulate my overall muscle growth, particularly with my lower body,” says Lauren.

Count Macros and Eat Clean

Diet is important, says Lauren. “I follow a blended approach between macros and clean eating,” says Lauren. “I know my exact macros and I have a clean meal plan to hit these macros. When planning my meals, I also keep things like nutrient timing in mind too especially around my workouts.”

Here Is What She Eats in a Day

Lauren shared a sample menu with Simply shredded. For her first meal she has 5 ounces Egg Whites, 3 ounces Oats and 1 tablespoon Honey. Next, 1 scoop Protein and 1 cup Blueberries. Meal 3, lunch, is 3 ½ ounces Barramundi and 9 ounces Sweet Potato. For her fourth meal she has 2 ½ ounces Chicken Breast, 5 ounces Mixed Vegetables and 1 ½ ounces Walnuts. Meal 5 is 3 ½ ounces Turkey Mince, 3 ½ ounces Pumpkin, ¼ cup Baby Spinach Leaves and 2 ounces Avocado. And, for her last meal, she has 1 scoop Protein and ¼ cup Almonds.

Don’t Believe There Are Shortcuts

“POV: doing this workout every single day will snatch your waist, build your glutes & get you losing 10kg…. 🤥 Claims like this are made all over social media. If you dive deeper into it…content creators all use the EXACT same wording on all their posts in a hope to go viral & it’s all just click bait for views🙄 spreading misinformation like wildfire!” she writes. Be careful who you take your advice from on here. Want to build your glutes? Lift heavy shit. Eat food to fuel your body. Don’t listen to morons 🤣,” Lauren captioned a recent post.
