Alcantara broke down the fitness routine she crafted to Kardashian to Women’s Health. Alcantara described it as, “85 percent of our training is weight training, and the other 15 is made up of cardio. Kim loves to work the back of her legs—the hamstrings and the booty!" Doing two different workout styles is a great way to both keep yourself invested, but to also target multiple parts of your body.

"She’s super responsible, she never cancels—she’s the best client and athlete you can have," Alcantara told Women’s Health. "It’s just her drive. She's like, ‘I have to work out, this is part of my life.' It’s all about the mindset. Once [working out is] part of your daily routine and your life, then it's not something you have to think about, you just have to do it."

It’s not easy when you’re a mom and you’re exhausted at the end of the day or you’re in school, and I’m all of the above. I do my beauty treatments usually late at night.

Kim underwent a lot of scrutiny for her dramatic weight loss, but claims she did it the right way. “If I was starving and doing it really unhealthy, I would say that, of course, that’s not a good message. But I had a nutritionist, I had a trainer. I have never drunk more water in my life. I don’t see the criticism for other people when they lost weight for roles — they are [considered] geniuses for their craft,” she told Allure. “There are so many things out there that are so not accurate and not true.”

Kardashian, chief taste consultant for Beyond Meat, follows a plant-based diet. However, to lose the weight for the Met Gala she incorporated meat back into her diet. Then “psoriasis broke out over my body and I got psoriatic arthritis so I couldn’t really move my hands,” she told Allure. “It was really painful, and I had to go to a rheumatologist who put me on a steroid. I was freaking out. I cut out the meat again, and it’s calmed down.”

Kim is famous for her intense workout regiment. Her trainer, Melissa Alcantara dished on the details to Women’s Health. “Her schedule is crazy, and mine is also crazy, so we work out really early in the morning at 6 a.m,” she said, adding that "85 per cent of our training is weight training, and the other 15 is made up of cardio" and that Kim works out six days per week for 60-90 minutes each time. What exercises does she do? Ball slams, burpees, sprints, and ladder drills to get her heart rate up. "She’s super responsible, she never cancels – she’s the best client and athlete you can have," Alcantara shared. "It’s just her drive. She's like, ‘I have to work out, this is part of my life.' It’s all about the mindset." To get into shape for the Met, Kim added another element. “I would wear a sauna suit twice a day [and also] run on the treadmill,” she told US Vogue.
