Fitness Influencer Lauren Findley in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares “Leg Day” and “Protein Snacks”

Lauren Simpson is giving her followers a glimpse of her lower body workout – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the fitness influencer flaunts her amazing figure in an ab-baring pink exercise set, looking fit and fabulous. “Diary of a leg day,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps and clips. In them she shares a few of the exercises she did and reveals that pre-workout before the gym and a little post-workout sushi action is all part of her day. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Strength Training

Lauren, who is “passionate” about exercise, relies on 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.

2. Minimal Cardio

Lauren doesn’t do a lot of cardio. “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.

3. Paying Close Attention to Nutrition

Lauren doesn’t wing it when it comes to diet. “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.”

4. Here Is What She Eats in a Day

Here is what Lauren eats in a day:

• Meal 1: 5 ounces Egg Whites, 3 ounces Oats and 1 tablespoon Honey
• Meal 2: 1 scoop Protein and 1 cup Blueberries
• Meal 3: 3 ½ ounces Barramundi and 9 ounces Sweet Potato
• Meal 4: 2 ½ ounces Chicken Breast, 5 ounces Mixed Vegetables and 1 ½ ounces Walnuts
• Meal 5: 3 ½ ounces Turkey Mince, 3 ½ ounces Pumpkin, ¼ cup Baby Spinach Leaves and 2 ounces Avocado
• Meal 6: 1 scoop Protein and ¼ cup Almonds

5. There Is No Shortcut

In a recent post, Lauren gets real about what it takes to build your glutes. “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 🤣.”

Krissy Cela is showing off her baby bump in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the pregnant fitness influencer flaunts her amazing body during a leg day workout. “Not going to lie it’s hitting me hard now. 33 weeks pregnant and workouts are feeling HARD! time to slow it down but first let me just finish this leg workout,” she writes. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care and what is her intense leg routine? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. This Is Her Leg DayWorkout

Here is her leg day workout:

1. Squats: 5 sets 6/7 reps
2. Explosive step ups: headers when you’re carrying a pineapple 😭 4 sets 7-8 reps each leg
3. RDL: 4 sets 10-12 reps
4. Leg press: 4 sets failure.

2. Waking Up Early

Krissy gets up for the day “around half five or six,” she told Closer. “The reason I wake up so early, it sounds ridiculous, but it helps me do everything I need to do for myself before I can give myself to everybody else. I have this concept where it's all fair and well doing things for the people we love, but if we're not taking some time out for ourselves, to check in or be productive, we'll constantly feel bottom of the list. So I wake up, half five or six o'clock.”

3. Protein Shakes

Krissy makes sure to get enough protein. “So for me, every single day I have protein shakes, it's just convenient. It's a great way for me to up my protein intake, but it's something I don't rely on. Food is key. Protein shakes are a step up from what you already have, so if you don't have a healthy diet or consistent training routine, then you can't expect it to do what it's supposed to do,” she adds to Closer.

4. Workout and Meal Prep

Cela outlines some of her top health habits in an Instagram post. The first one? Workout and meal prep. “It’s a small win but one that’s helped me with mental fatigue. When you know what you’re wearing you don’t need to stress about it,” she says about choosing her outfit the night before. As for meal prep, she suggests planning for the week ahead. “I have to always meal prep it just sets me up to succeed and also it saves money,” she says in the post. In the clip, she makes a batch of food and separates it into glass containers.

5. Plan Workouts and Don’t Wing It

Another one of her top tips? “Having a set gym program and not doing random workouts,” she writes. “I can seriously bet my entire life… not even bantering that the moment you have a set gym program you will absolutely see your entire life change.”
