Simpson participated in netball, touch football, athletics, and swimming in high school but she only discovered her passion for fitness after she turned 25. According to Lauren, “It is important to not expect rapid changes overnight. Good things take time. If you put in the work, you will see results.”

Although she fell in love with working out, she didn’t know how to make the most of her training. Since she had no knowledge of training or nutrition, she was only doing cardio and eating around 1000 calories a day.

Since Simpson didn’t have the right knowledge, she couldn’t reach her goal of sculpting her dream physique. Even with all the motivation and drive in the world, she was let down by her poor diet and lack of knowledge.
