1. Her Pool Workout Is Tough

According to Bruno, Kate’s pool workout is nothing to scoff at. “The pool workouts look easy, but they’re actually really tough. Here’s a clip of the hand weight circuit and the bar circuit, but we also do a bunch of lower body stuff, and sometimes we’ll bring the KBox or some dumbbells out by the pool and do a mix of weights and pool stuff,” he wrote.

Bruno previously told Cosmopolitan that Kate bangs out a workout five days a week, for one to two hours per day. Her workouts are strength-based circuit training, working her full body every time. Exercises include a mix of dead lifts, hip thrusts, lunges, rows, and sled pulls. "A lot of girls are scared to do strength training because they fear that they're going to bulk up, but if you do the right stuff and focus on the right exercises, it actually helps tighten everything up. Kate has really tightened up her physique noticeably as she's gotten stronger,” he explained.

3. Her Diet Is Clean

Bruno maintains that"nutrition is more than half the battle,” when it comes to Kate’s success. “She committed to both the training and the eating right from the get-go, and that's why she's seeing such great results." Kate consumes lean protein at every meal along with veggies. She also avoids added sugars and processed foods. "That's been key," Bruno explained. "If you limit sugar and processed food, that takes care of most of the problems." Smoothies are one of her go-to drinks.

4. Chelsea Handler Serves As Friendly Competition

Bruno also trains Chelsea Handler, who serves as Kate’s friendly competition when it comes to exercise. The girls are constantly tagging each other in workout videos, trying to one-up each other.

5. She Gets to Cheat

Bruno reveals that Kate loves wine and does drink occasionally in moderation. " I don't want it to feel like an unbearable diet. There's not a set cheat day or anything like that, but she does have treats here and there."

6. She Is Active

1. She Focuses on Her Overall Health

Not to get skinny, 'cause that couldn't motivate me anymore. Because I was just dead inside on that subject.” As a result, Upton launched a beauty line in partnership with Found Active.

"Everybody was oohing and ahhing and taking secret photos of me and being like, 'You love this attention, don't you?'" she said on the Skimm podcast about her first Sports Illustrated Swimsuit pary at age 19. "That was my last pool party. I never would get in any kind of bikini in front of people [again] because it was just too overwhelming."

3. She Does Strength-Based Circuit Training

“A typical circuit training workout includes about 8-10 exercise stations. After completing a station, instead of resting, you move quickly to the next station. A muscular strength and endurance circuit alternates muscle groups, such as upper body, lower body and core, so little or no rest is needed in between stations,” says ACE Fitness.

4. She De-Stressed with Exercise

"Depending on where they were shooting, we did five to seven days a week, usually pretty late at night for 60 to 90 minutes. I would have to get a babysitter to watch my girls and train her. It was very, very intense. It served two purposes: de-stressing and toning,” Upton's trainer, David Kirsch, told Elle Australia.

5. She Was There for Her Husband

Upton’s partner Justin Verlander revealed to the Bleacher Report that “I was depressed and kind of just upset at the world and trying to hide my own” stuff.” And Upton? “She was what I needed,” he said. “I don’t like to talk to people about being hurt. As athletes, you’re not supposed to. It’s an excuse,” he said. "But she was someone I could talk to. I mean, basically a therapist. Somebody I could trust with…worries about my career. Worries about, can I make it? Worries about what I’m going through to get back. And just the overall” badness “of it all.”

Benefits include improved longevity, decreased risk of developing heart disease or suffering a stroke, good mental health, and improved strength and balance.

2. She Wake Surfs

Katie recently started wake surfing, also called wake boarding. She captioned this post: “teach me how to wake surf.” According to the Australian government’s Better Health, surfing, which is similar to wake boarding minus the paddling, provides many health benefits including cardiovascular fitness, and leg and core strength. “Once you’re standing up on the board, strong legs and a strong core will keep you up,” they say.

3. She Jet Skis

5. She Snow Boards

Katie also enjoys snow boarding. “Learned my lesson from last year,” she joked in this photo, wearing a swimsuit while on the slopes. According to the University of Rochester, snowboarding, like skiing, is a great cardiovascular workout. “Because they are also weight-bearing exercises, they strengthen your bones as they tone your muscles,” they say. “Cardiovascular or aerobic exercises also work to reduce your risk for chronic diseases, and lower blood pressure. They also help you maintain a healthy body weight. Through regular aerobic exercise like skiing and snowboarding, you lower your risk of developing conditions like diabetes and heart disease, having a stroke, and perhaps even getting cancer.”

6. She Works Out

Katie also relies on good old-fashioned exercise to keep her in shape. Physical activity is anything that gets your body moving. Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.
