She Avoids Gluten
One of Upton's personal trainers, David Kirsch, disclosed some of the model's diet and exercise secrets to ELLE. Kirsch says that when it comes to Upton's diet, she cuts out a few major foods, and is inspired by a gluten-free diet. "It's sugar, alcohol, and processed carbs that we avoid. I don't have her on a specifically gluten-free diet, but by the nature of what she eats, it is gluten free."
She Circuit Trains
Kirsch also broke down Upton's fitness routine to ELLE. "We do extreme, intense circuit training," he said. "We do three or four circuits and change them up a lot. There's lots of core, butt, and thigh shaping and toning. We work with resistance bands, stability balls, do lateral lunges for the inner thighs, and for arms we do boxing. She has her own pair of boxing gloves, and she will beat me up. She loves it! It's a very efficient way to work out and get your cardio in."
She Doesn't Own A Scale
While it may seem like Upton has the perfect body and weight, she says that she doesn't exercise to get to a certain number on the scale. In fact, she told Yahoo Style, that she doesn't even own a scale, and sets goals to where she is happy with her body. "I'm not trying to be fit for a number on a scale," she says. "Whenever I'm happiest, I try to maintain that. I don't need a number."
She Works Hard
Upton's other trainer, Ben Bruno, gushed over the model in an interview with E! News. He praised Upton's work ethic and persistence. "Her progress has been amazing. She trains harder than just about any client I've ever had. I've trained a lot of athletes and Kate trains as hard as anybody. She's very dedicated, works hard and the other part too that kind of goes hand in hand with what we do in the gym is that she's got her eating on track. She's very disciplined with her eating. She's been great about limiting sugar."
She Indulges Only Once In A While
Bruno said that while Upton eats healthy, she isn't afraid to indulge once in a while. He says that she does enjoy herself at times, but always goes back to eating healthy. "She eats very well most of the time. Sometimes she splurges and when she does she just picks back up and keeps going. She eats treats but it's just about moderation…I don't want people thinking it's a diet. I want them to think it's a lifestyle."
