A fitness coach has revealed her morning pre-gym routine, that sees her getting up at 4am and cooking a meal before working out.
Lauren Simpson, 32, from Sydney, who has racked up more than two million followers sharing her healthy living tips, revealed she wakes up before dawn and starts her day with a cup of coffee.
She then showers and does her makeup, before cooking up an egg scramble and heading to the gym.
‘I start off by making a big cup of coffee, I have Before You Speak coffee,’ she explains.
‘Then I shower to wipe off the fake tan I slept in and do my makeup’.
After that, she whips up a veggie scramble with egg whites, chicken, spinach, capsicum and mushrooms, which she enjoys with an English muffin and some butter.
‘While I’m having that I’ll check my emails, and set up some social media posts,’ she explained.

Lauren, who is also an award-winning bikini competitor, has created her own workout tutorials to allow others to learn from her mistakes and build a ‘strong body’.
Her favorite glute workout is a combination of low repetitions and heavier lifting followed by higher repetitions and lighter weight work.
The fitness enthusiast begins her workout with hip thrusts using a Smith Machine.
Here she will do four reps consisting of 10 full range thrusts and 10 pulse reps.
Next, still using a Smith Machine, she will change position for what she calls her reverse hack squat. This involves four reps of 12 squats.
Following this Lauren uses a booty band to do four reps of 15 angled step outs.
Returning to the Smith Machine will see her add in curtsy lunges. She will do four reps consisting of 12 lunges.
To finish, she will do rounded back extensions. This activity involves rounding the upper or lower back or both. This exercise not only targets the mid back but also the glutes and hamstrings.
Having finally been able to make fitness ‘a part of her life and not her entire life’ is what has made Lauren such a popular fixture on social media.
The blonde bombshell has more than two million followers on Instagram and she regularly posts some of her favorite meals.
When she’s ‘shredding’ for a bikini competition, breakfast will be a two egg omelet with cauliflower rice, baby spinach, roasted cashew nuts and tomatoes.
Before she works out she’ll have rice cakes with chilli tuna and tomatoes, alongside a protein shake.
Lunch is a slice of protein, like fish, with sweet potato wedges, mushrooms and green beans.
Her mid-afternoon coffee will be followed with a piece of fruit for energy.
