Kim Kardashian Workout Routine



The Kim Kardashian workout routine has become quite popular since Kim slimmed down for Dancing With The Stars. Because of her body type, Kim will always struggle with keeping her lower body in shape.

Here are some workout moves inspired by Kim Kardashian's wedding workout routine:

Focusing On the Upper Body
"We do a modified push/pull resistance workout with cardio intervals," says Gunnar.

These are some examples of push/pull exercises...

Lat Pulldown


A:
*Sit down in a lat pulldown station and grab the bar with an overhand grip that's just beyond shoulder width.

B:
*Without moving your torso, pull the bar down to your chest as you continue to squeeze your shoulder blades
*Pause, then slowly return to the starting position.

Dumbbell Shoulder Press


A:
*Stand holding a pair of dumbbells just outside your shoulders, with your arms bent and palms facing each other
*Set your feet shoulder-width apart, and slightly bend your knees.

B:
*Press the weights upward until your arms are completely straight.
*Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.

According to Shape Magazine, anyone can do Kim’s favorite workout so long as they have a small 10-pound weighted medicine ball and a set of 5-8 pound dumb bells. She does 6-15 reps of Side Lunge Woodchops, Wide Ball Squats, Rebound Rotations, Ball Pushups, Bus Drivers, Skater’s Lunge With Kickbacks, Squat-Curl-Governor-Press Combos and 50 skips of Jump Rope. Ideally, she’ll do this routine two to three times a week, warming up with 5-10 minutes of cardio and closing with a stretching cool-down after four complete circuits.

Kim Kardashian works out at least three times every week, but she prefers to go five times a week because she “feels lazy” when she takes a day off. She buddies up with friends to hit the gym and stay motivated. On the weekends, Kim and her friends like to take cardio classes together, like Spinning and Tae Bo. Other times, she’ll run on the treadmill for 30 minute sprees, covering two miles, and combines her cardio with 30 minutes of weight lifting, alternating between arms and legs. Naturally, she closes with ab crunches and stretching.
