28-Days-to-Lean Meal Plan

With a structured plan and unwavering discipline, one can achieve significant leanness in a mere 28 days.

Read on: Lamborghini Super Trofeo North American racer Lindsay Brewer tells Muscle & Fitness (M&F) that prioritizing strength training has been pivotal to her on-track performance. Below, she details how she applies the same intensity to her gym regimen as she does to her racing, and why this workout framework is accessible for individuals of all fitness levels.

Lindsay Brewer has competed in motorsports since claiming her first karting victory at age 12, yet it is only within the past year that the professional racer has prioritized structured strength training. Brewer has frequently operated high-powered vehicles—including Indy NXT cars without power steering. Though her current Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo Evo is outfitted with advanced technology, the disciplined driver remains committed to physical development to sustain optimal posture and full control of her high-performance machine.

“Shoulder strength is a primary focus,” notes the toned athlete. “I also prioritize core stabilization to endure the G-forces experienced during races—Russian twists are a staple, as maintaining core engagement is non-negotiable behind the wheel. Leg strength is equally critical: the brake pressure required in high-performance racing demands exceptional lower-body power.” Brewer incorporates variety into her routine with exercises like goblet squats, rope climbs, and assault bike intervals to maintain engagement.

Given that racing demands simultaneous muscle activation, Brewer favors compound movements—such as a dumbbell squat-to-shoulder press—to mimic the multi-planar demands of driving. For foundational lifts like presses and squats, she emphasizes time under tension (TUT), as racing requires sustaining static postures for extended durations.

For cardiovascular training, Brewer adopts a full-body approach. “Most cardio equipment prioritizes lower-body engagement—like the stair climber—so integrating arm-based modalities, such as the arm bike, is vital to ensure balanced conditioning,” she explains. Full-body workouts align with general fitness goals: they are time-efficient and excellent for stamina development. To adapt this regimen to individual needs, adjust intensity by modifying sets, reps, or cardio duration.

Brewer performs full-body workouts three times weekly. However, unlike her professional racing career, fitness progression is not a sprint—consistency and gradual adaptation yield long-term success.
