Kim sticks to clean, healthy food. "I want her to eat real food that’s cooked every day," Alcantara told People. "Most likely if it comes out of a box, it’s not going to be good for you." She also makes sure to fuel up for workouts. "My trainer Mel always says that before and after you train, you should eat simple carbs, like sweet potatoes, and small amounts of fat and protein, like chicken. You should also have veggies with your meals, since you need them to help effectively break down and absorb your protein, fat, and carbs,” she wrote on her app in 2018, according to Harper's Bazaar.

2. Workout Prepping

Some people meal prep. Kim workout preps. “I will lay my clothes out the night before so when I sleep in, I’ll wake up at 5.53[am] instead of 5.45, and I just know my outfit is there,” she said. “I have a toothbrush and my toothpaste all ready to go, laid out by my sink. I just have to brush my teeth and go to the gym.”

3. Daily Workouts

“I work out about an hour-and-a-half every single day,” Kim told E! News. She added to Vogue that she sleeps for just five hours, waking up at 5:30 am to hit the gym. "Just like anybody else, there are days where Kim's not really feeling it, but she will do it," Alcantara trainer told People in 2020. "Then there are a lot of days when she's killing it! She never questions the stuff that I make her do, she's just like, 'Okay,' and I love that."

4. LISS Workouts

Kim is also into steady state cardio, aka LISS. "Two days out of the week we’ll do steady-state cardio," Alcantara explained to WH, "so just walking at a steady pace on the treadmill for usually around 20 minutes. Nothing getting the heart rate too high."

5. Strength Training

Kim started doing “really hardcore” weight training and bodybuilding workouts with Melissa Alcantara in 2017, which transformed her body. At the same Alcantara told Women’s Health that 85% of their training was done with weights and just 15% was devoted to cardio. She currently trains with Senada Greca.

6. Sprinting

Kim relies on short and fast sprints. "Been sprinting every day!" she wrote in one of her Instagram Stories in 2021. "I've been seeing changes!" According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Kim Kardashian has an amazing body. And she works hard to keep it that way. The reality star shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. Recently, she shared a photo of herself in the gym on her Instagram story. Kardashian captioned the photo, “Getting it in today! 2 hours in the gym is good for the mental," tagging trainer Senada Greca. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Kim Kardashian stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Eats Simple Carbs

Kardashian makes sure to eat a healthy diet. One thing she incorporates into it is simple carbs. Kardashian talked about this on her app. “There’s a myth that eating carbs is bad, but this isn’t true,” she said. “My trainer Mel [Alcantara] always says that before and after you train, you should eat simple carbs, like sweet potatoes, and small amounts of fat and protein, like chicken. You should also have veggies with your meals, since you need them to help effectively break down and absorb your protein, fat and carbs.”

2. She Works With A Trainer

Kardashian likes to work with trainers to help her stay in shape. ACE Fitness states that working with a personal trainer has a lot of benefits. “Most of us work harder in the presence of others. Having a trainer by your side can provide the encouragement, energy and motivation you need to jumpstart your routine. A trainer can also help you set goals, create a plan to accomplish them and celebrate the day you reach them.”

3. She Sets Goals

One of Kardashian’s trainers, Melissa Alcantara, talked about working with her to Women’s Health. Alcantara reveals that she has Kardashian set goals, as they help motivate her to accomplish them. "When I work with Kim, we like to set goals that we can feel good about reaching,” Alcantara said. “Once we have a goal set, we write it down. I’ve found that helps hold you accountable. And, it feels amazing when you do finally reach your goal!"

4. She Runs On The Treadmill

Kardashian likes to run on the treadmill to keep herself in shape. She shared a video of herself doing so on her Instagram story. "Been sprinting every day,” Kardashian said in the video. “I've been seeing changes! [It's] hard to video and sprint 😂." Healthy Talbot states that using a treadmill has a lot of benefits. “Treadmill working is an aerobic/ cardio exercise. Studies demonstrate that aerobic exercise can minimize the risk of heart diseases. Moreover, they can strengthen your heart muscles. This helps to lower blood pressure and allows the heart to pump blood more efficiently. Most doctors recommend aerobic exercise to people suffering from cardiovascular diseases. Cardiovascular exercises control cholesterol levels in the blood, preventing artery blockage. They increase high-density lipoprotein and reduce low-density lipoprotein in the blood.”

5. She Weight Trains

Kardashian does a lot of weight training to keep herself in shape. She talked about this in one of her Instagram posts. "We’re back in the gym heavy,” Kardashian wrote. “I would say every six months I take two weeks off from lifting. Sometimes you just need a break to recharge and chill but then I miss it so much and feel so good to be back at it."

Kim Kardashian makes sure to stay in shape. She shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. She recently shared a session with her trainer on her Instagram stories. In them, Kardashian does lower body exercises. She does RDLs, hamstring curls, and hip thrusts. Kardashian wore a two-piece workout set. How does she stay so fit?

Kardashian makes sure to take care of her skin, and shared one of her favorite products from the line with Harper’s Bazaar. “I'm obsessed with our SKKN by Kim Eye Cream. It reduces puffiness and fine lines around the eye, and instantly makes me look more well rested. The formula contains three peptides that work together to stimulate collagen production, and hyaluronic acid to alleviate dryness, so it's really moisturizing and preserves elasticity.”

2. She Works Out With Others

Kardashian shared some of her workout secrets with Harper’s Bazaar. She says that she likes working out with others. “I exercise most mornings with my trainer,” Kardashian says. “We really focus on weight training. I also love working out with my sisters, so we might be able to count that as a mini class!”

3. She Makes Time For Herself

No matter how busy she gets, Kardashian always makes time for herself. “I think it's so important to carve out time to do something nice for yourself,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “When I get busy, it can be easy to go months without taking the time for self-care. Now, I try to make sure I'm making time for those moments, whether it's a facial or a massage to relax, or taking a social media break to help clear my mind.”

4. She’s Finding Out What Works For Her Skin

Kardashian revealed to Refinery29 that she is trying different skincare products to see what works best for her. "It could be hormonal or a change in supplements. Every time I change the way that I eat or try different foods — I guess my skin has gotten really sensitive. It's been really interesting to try new products and figure out what works for different skin that I never thought I would experience in my 40s."

5. She Uses Oil

Kardashian has added a new thing to her skincare routine. She told Refinery29 that she’s started using oil. “It's a new thing for me; I used to like to be so matte before, so I never really used oil,” she explains. “If you get a spray tan, oils usually rub that off. I used to be so scared of oils and think, are oils going to give me oily skin or make me break out? None of the above. I use a little bit, mixed with moisturizer, you just look so glowy and it feels like the moisture holds.”
