Is this real life?  Krista and Lindsey had the dreamiest chat with two of their WCW’s and boss babe inspirations: Kelly LeVeque and Simone De La Rue. These two gurus are dominating the nutrition and fitness world, and have honestly changed Krista and Lindsey’s lives.  They chat about collaborating on the new Body By Simone (BBS) app, which has a nutrition component that Kelly created (including exclusive recipes!). Body By Simone Studios already offer some of the best, safest, and most FUN workouts for women, but now anyone can get that same amazing workout anywhere and anytime using the app. It’s like having your trainer + nutritionist in your pocket!

 

If you don’t already know who these women are, Simone De La Rue is a former dancer turned Hollywood fitness expert and owner of the Body By Simone empire, which includes studios, a book, an online streaming service, and now the app.

 

Kelly is an Almost 30 OG, the queen of nutrition, the creator of Be Well By Kelly, and the author of Body Love: Live in Balance, Weigh What You Want, and Free Yourself from Food Drama Forever. This is hands down one of the best books about nutrition and sustainable nourishment and it has some DE-LIC-IOUS recipes.

 

The girls talk about…

 

  • How Simone got into fitness + dancing
  • Why Simone left the dancing world to create something of her own
  • Becoming a Fab Four Smoothie junkie
  • Why food and diets can’t be so black and white
  • The relationship between exercise and diet
  • Eating to fuel your body
  • How Body By Simone challenges the body and brain – while having fun!
  • Cardio VS strength
  • Challenging your muscles without overtraining
  • What you can explore in the Body By Simone app
  • How the app constantly updates your personal workout based on your feedback
  • LIVE classes in the app!
  • How Kelly created recipes for the app, including her first vegetarian + vegan recommendations!
  • What alcohol does to your body + other questions from the Almost 30 Secret Facebook Group
  • Being straight hustlers in business
  • Trusting your gut + instinct
  • A surprise appearance by Chloe!
  • Kelly and Simone’s self-care routines
  • An EXCITING announcement from Kelly LeVeque!!

 

Good news, LA fam! On July 25th, Almost 30, Kelly LeVeque, and Charity Lighten from Silver Fern are teaming up for an event!
