Kristin Cavallari

Kristin Cavallari has been open about her health journey over the past few months. Back in June, she chatted with Us Weekly about how her body has recently transformed. “I’ve put on a lot of weight in the last few years, but in a good way,” she told the publication. Looking back at old photos, she now sees how thin she was, she explained, adding that her goal is to maintain the muscle she has now.



When they first started training together, Cavallari was used to doing 12 to 15 reps for each exercise. “There’s a time and place for that, but I wanted to give her something a little different,” says Klug. “We make sure we start every session trying to develop power by working in the one to five rep range by using fast twitch movements, such as plyometrics, medicine ball tosses, and sprints,” he explains. “This prepares her body to get ready to move heavier weight than what she is used to lifting.”

Although Cavallari dreads most of the exercises they do together "probably because the stuff she's doing isn't easy," admits Klug, "she's not afraid of it," he adds. It also helps that she's motivated by wanting to keep up with her three kids (all between the ages of five and 10), Klug shares.

If you’re interested in adding strength training to your fitness routine but don’t know where to start, Klug suggests finding “an accountability partner,” whether that means hiring a coach who’s within your budget or enlisting the help of a more experienced friend. “And aside from that, keep it simple! Doing four to five movements (that you know how to do) is likely the best program you can do,” he says.
