Simone de la Rue is sharing a new workout video in her exercise clothes. In a new social media post the fitness trainer and influencer flaunts her amazing figure –including her flat abs – in a two-piece exercise set while demonstrating a variety of exercises. “FULL BODY BLAST 💥,” she captioned the workout video shared to her Instagram account. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

“I think fitness is 80 per cent diet, 20 per cent exercise,” Simone told Net-a-Porter. “My meals are predominantly protein-rich with a lot of vegetables – for me, the Paleo diet works best. I don’t eat many carbs, so dinner is usually turkey and greens like kale – I’m obsessed with kale.”

Simone gets her zen on. “I meditate as soon as I wake up,” she said. “I light a candle to set my intention for the day, then meditate for 10 minutes on that intention or one of my favorite mantras.” Meditation helps you “clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes to your stress,” says the Mayo Clinic. Benefits include:

• Gaining a new perspective on stressful situations
• Building skills to manage your stress
• Increasing self-awareness
• Focusing on the present
• Reducing negative emotions
• Increasing imagination and creativity
• Increasing patience and tolerance
• Lowering resting heart rate
• Lowering resting blood pressure
• Improving sleep quality

“I exercise to energize,” she added. “I find just 10 minutes of cardio every morning boosts my metabolism and fires off good endorphins that put me in a happy mood. My schedule is always busy, but when I’m working towards a goal, I exercise five to six times a week for one hour. For maintenance, three times a week is enough.”

Simone has a few nighttime habits that help keep her healthy. “I always have room-temperature water and a candle on my bedside table…The candle is for meditation and setting a morning and evening intention, and the water is to make sure I’m always hydrated,” she says. And, stretching before bed is “non-negotiable,” she adds. “I do a 20-minute yoga cool-down sequence, which helps to relax and center me. I also use a foam roller to ease fatigued and tight muscles.” “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints,” says Harvard Health. “Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”

“I am using a 10 pound weighted ball,” she says, adding that she recommends doing three sets of 12 reps on each side.

• Weighted march
• Overhead press to static plank
• Deep squat to frontal raise
• Hinge to bent over row
