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

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 🤣.”
