The Real Housewives of Orange County star Emily Simpson is poking fun at criticism she gets for using Ozempic to kickstart her weight loss. Simpson, 48, shared a video of herself wearing black leggings and a matching sports bra, dancing in her living room. "Just over here livin' my best life ❤️❤️," she captioned the upbeat video, encouraging others to be positive and kind in the comments. Here's how Simpson continues to thrive in her 40s.
Simpson keeps weights in her bedroom so she's always ready for a workout. "I keep a set of free weights and a kettlebell next to my bed… if you have time to watch Netflix, you have time to get in shape 🙌12-15 reps per exercise, three rounds. The kettlebell is 15 pounds, the free weights are 12 pounds. These three full body exercises are easy to do and are a great way to build muscle, tone up and they are good cardio. Three rounds of these and your heart rate will be way up. Do you prefer to work out at home, or at the gym?" she captioned an Instagram post.
Simpson uses a barbell when she works out at the gym. "Good Morning Friends and Haters! ❤️🙌 What do you think?! Workout skirts at the gym? 🤔 I say wear whatever you want as long as you're there putting in the work who cares!" she captioned an Instagram post of herself working out in a white skirt and matching sports bra.
Simpson swears by consistency and repetition over motivation to build excellent habits. "I get up at the same time, eat the same things, repeat a lot of the same workouts (but consistently add weight). Committing to a routine has helped me build a strong, healthy body. What works for you?!" she captioned a video of herself using strength training equipment at the gym.
Simpson lifts weights at least three times a week, for benefits that go beyond the physical. "Lifting weights for me has been transformative, both physically and mentally. There's something about lifting things that are heavy that heals your body and mind. It's my own personal therapy 💪🏻," she captioned an Instagram post.
Simpson cooks at home as much as possible these days. "The biggest change I've made in this health journey is rewiring my brain to eat MOST meals at home… I'm not the greatest cook 🤷♀️ and I don't have a lot of time so this is one of my favorite easy breezy dinners that I eat a couple times a week… Lots of protein and healthy carbs from the sweet potato, it's quick, tasty and there's no mixing or measuring! And I don't count calories or macros so don't ask what the calorie count is or how many Macros this meal has 💁♀️," she captioned an Instagram post.
