Lauralie Chapados is discussing hip hop – in her workout clothes. In a new social media post the model and influencer flaunts her incredibly fit figure in an exercise ensemble during a grueling workout. “Kendrick or Drake?” she asks her Instagram followers. How does the beauty approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
Lauralie relies on strength training to keep her body chiseled. She focuses on different body parts daily. “One of my shoulder/chest workout,” she captioned a post of herself doing flies, pulldowns, chest presses, and rowing exercises.
Lauralie recently shared, “Something I wish I knew when I first started” in regard to aesthetics and longevity. “Building and “sculpting a physique for any division in bodybuilding isn’t just building a ton of muscle, especially in bikini. When it comes to lower body development; appropriate movement patterns and resistance is crucial for the final display on stage. Squats, RDLs, Lunges and other glute and hamstring exercise biomechanics should stay true to the specific joints being targeted. Providing influence to other joints with opportunities to be used or even become the prime movers for the exercise and replace the original joint(s) instead can/is detrimental to the end goal/physique,” she writes.
“I believe training goes first, [not] diet,” Chapados explained during an appearance on The Mike O’Hearn Show. “I try to feed into my workouts.” On high-volume days she increases her caloric intake. She also makes sure to eat lots of healthy fat while cutting – at least 25 percent of her daily calorie intake from healthy fats. “If I’m not able to have [healthy fats] all the way through the prep, I’m not doing the show,” she says.
Here is everything Lauralie eats in a day:
Meal One: Oatmeal, egg whites
- Meal One: Oatmeal, egg whites
- Meal Two: Sweet potato, chicken

According to Lauralie, “the secret to a small midsection” starts with eating. “One, I would say checking digestion. Any type of food that makes you inflamed, bloated, try to stay away from them,” she told Muscle & Fitness. She recommends using only “clean ingredients” that make your body “feel good.”
The second secret? Hydration. “Drink a lot of water Keep yourself hydrated in all possible ways. If you don’t like water, just squeeze it piece of lemon in it. They also have little single crystal light. Just drink a lot of water. I drink personally a gallon of water a day at least,” she says.
Third, and most important of all, sleep. “Sleep is as important for good health as diet and exercise. Good sleep improves your brain performance, mood, and health,” says the NIH. “Not getting enough quality sleep regularly raises the risk of many diseases and disorders. These range from heart disease and stroke to obesity and dementia.”
