1. She Works Out
“I don’t know about you but working out has saved me during isolation,” she said, thanking coach Tom Brazier. She even developed her own home workout plan. “With strength training and cardio focused sessions, demonstrated to you by Laura and her personal trainer, you’ll feel fitter, stronger and look more toned.”
2. Strength Training and Cardio Really Work

Says the Mayo Clinic:
“For most healthy adults, the Department of Health and Human Services recommends these exercise guidelines
- Aerobic activity. Get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity a week, or an equal combination of moderate and vigorous aerobic activity. The guidelines suggest that you spread out this exercise during the course of a week.
- Strength training. Do strength training exercises for all major muscle groups at least two times a week. Aim to do a single set of each exercise using a weight or resistance level heavy enough to tire your muscles after about 12 to 15 repetitions.”
3. This is What She Says to Body Shamers

"Please don’t talk to me as if I’m promoting unhealthy eating because you think I look skinny in one picture,” she has said. "If any young girl follows me, watches my stories they’ll know I eat like a horse, sometimes I work out, sometimes I don’t and I’m a 32 year old woman- who will be teaching my kids about positive body image (which any mother or father on here should take responsibility for also) and please for the love of god note that body positivity includes all size frames equally. I’m so fed up of being spoken to like less of a woman because the worlds obsessed with woman’s weight. Who cares, I’m a person not a size."
4. She Uses Self-Tanner

Using a self-tanner is smart. “The safest way to tan is through sunless tanning,” says dermatologist Jennifer Lucas, MD to the Cleveland Clinic. “I recommend store-bought or professionally done spray tans or lotions/cream to get your healthy glow.” If you are in the sun: “Religious use of sunscreen is your number one tool to help prevent skin damage.”
5. She Takes Vitamins

Laura loves her vitamins. You can, too, if you are deficient but ideally you get yours from food; for example, “Whole foods are complex, containing a variety of the micronutrients your body needs — not just one. An orange, for example, provides vitamin C plus some beta carotene, calcium and other nutrients. It's likely these compounds work together to produce their beneficial effect,” says the Mayo Clinic. Before taking vitamins, "talk to your health care team and dietitian if you have questions or concerns,” says Anne Harguth, registered dietitian at Mayo Clinic Health System.
