Cavallari makes time for self-care. One of her go-to pastimes is getting massages. She tells Glamour that this helps her after a workout. “Massage all day, every day, because I lift weights four to five days a week, and I feel like a massage is almost part of the health protocol to help get my body back into place. I try to get one every two weeks.”

5. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Cavallari spilled some of her health and wellness secrets to Us Weekly. She says that she likes to do a bunch of different workouts to stay in shape. “Like everyone else, my workout and health routine has been up and down during quarantine, but I finally have gotten back on track,” she explained. “I lift weights, but I do circuit training to keep my heart rate up.

1. Consistency Is Key

In a recent interview with Us, Kristin revealed that when it comes to staying in shape, it’s all about consistency. “It’s important to give ourselves grace and not beat ourselves up,” she said. “For so many years in my early 20s, I was all or nothing. I have the best relationship I’ve ever had with food and health because I’ve let go of a lot of that control. It’s about consistency — just keep showing up.”

2. She Designs Her Own Workouts

Kristin no longer works out with a personal trainer. Instead, she has designed her own workout. “I lift weights, but I do circuit training to keep my heart rate up. I also started doing hot yoga every once in a while. I don’t do it as often as I would like, but I love it when I’m able to make it happen,” she told Us.

3. She Eats Dinner Early

Kristin eats her final meal of the day very early. “I eat with my kids every night at 5:15 p.m.,” she told Us. “I find that I sleep better when I eat early like that. And I eat enough so that I’m not hungry before I go to bed.”

4. Her Diet Is Very Healthy

Kristin told Us that she eats food “as close to as its natural state” as much as she can. “The way I eat is a lifestyle. Organic as often as possible, tons of veggies, meat, nuts and seeds, complex carbs like buckwheat soba noodles, berries, tons of fat — I even eat butter.” That means no processed foods. "We don't do anything white, so we don't do white flour, white sugar, or white salt," she explained to Women's Health. "We definitely are a meat family. I've never been vegan or vegetarian; I don't think I could be. We actually have a freezer full of meat with all kinds of wild game."

5. She Makes Most of Her Own Food

“I make dinner 90 percent of the time. I think that’s important because that’s the only way to truly know what’s in your food,” she told Us. However, when she does dine out she indulges. “When I go out to eat or go on vacation, I eat whatever I want and then I really enjoy it.”

6. Her Goal? Lean Muscles

“I like having some muscle definition without being bulky or looking ‘jacked,'” she told Us. “Seeing results makes me want to push harder and gets me excited in the gym. I can honestly say my butt has gotten a lot bigger from being consistent in the gym, working on it for the past year. These results don’t happen overnight. It’s important to be patient and stay the course.”

7. She Avoids Cardio

1. She’s Comfortable With Herself

Cavallari is all about accepting herself. She opened up about her journey to this in the caption of this Instagram post. “I’ve been sitting on this picture for a few days going back and forth on if I should post it or not. Ultimately I decided to bc I’ve come a long way from a few years ago and I’m really proud of the progress I’ve made. I don’t even recognize the girl in those other 2 photos..and no, I never had an eating disorder..that was purely stress. I work out really hard and am dedicated to a healthy lifestyle and I think just because I’m a mom doesn’t mean I can’t be proud of my body and be comfortable in my skin. So, here ya go.”

2. She Weight Trains

Cavallari shared some of her workout secrets with Us Weekly. She says that her trainer has helped her with weight training. “He kicks my ass. He pushes me really hard. He has me actually lifting really heavy weight, the heaviest weight I’ve ever lifted in my entire life. I feel the best I ever have. I feel like I’m the strongest I’ve ever been.”

3. She Uses A Stair Climber

Another workout Cavallari likes to do is use the stairclimber. “Usually, I’ll work out and maybe do 30 minutes of a VersaClimber [on a fourth day], which will also kick your butt, man,” she told Us Weekly. Duke Human Resources states that stair climbing has a lot of benefits. “Stair climbing requires about 8 - 11kcal of energy per minute, which is high compared to other moderate level physical activities.”

4. She Eats A Healthy Breakfast

Cavallari shared one of her favorite healthy breakfasts with Insider. "Sometimes I'll make a little egg bowl and I'll use scrambled eggs, avocado, soft goat cheese, and spinach, and maybe a little hot sauce. I sautée the spinach and then I throw everything together. It really doesn't take long and you can use the same pan for the spinach as the eggs to have less to clean up."

5. She Loves Healthy Drinks

Cavallari loves healthy beverages, and shared some of her favorites with StyleCaster. “I love kombucha, and actually make my own. I do green juices. There’s also this stuff called tiger nut milk. Tiger nut is a root vegetable, but you can make milk from it. I buy it from this juice place that puts vanilla, maple syrup, and all kinds of stuff in it—it’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever had in my entire life. And it’s supposed to be really good for you.”
