Inside Kim Kardashian’s Fitness Journey: Weights, Pilates, and the Music That Keeps Her Going
A daily commitment to strength
At 44, Kim Kardashian has turned her fitness into a daily discipline. Speaking to Vogue, she revealed she trains for around 90 minutes each day, focusing mainly on strength training. “I’m a big weightlifter,” she said, explaining how weights form the foundation of her routine.
But she has had to adapt. Back issues have forced her to adjust certain exercises, lowering intensity while still targeting specific muscle groups. Often, she dedicates full sessions to the upper body or other areas, making her approach more focused and sustainable.
Pilates for balance and longevity
While lifting is her base, Kardashian swears by Pilates to keep her body balanced. She admits she feels the difference if she skips a weekly session, particularly in her back. The stretching and lengthening benefits complement her heavy lifting and help her stay flexible and injury-free.
For a mother of four balancing career, family, and health, this mix of strength and mobility is key to her long-term fitness.
A relatable flaw: phone in hand
Despite her dedication, Kardashian admits she has one habit that annoys her trainer. She constantly checks her phone mid-workout, replying to messages during sets. “I’m that annoying workout person who checks her phone,” she confessed, showing that even global celebrities struggle with distractions in the gym.

Music that fuels the grind
To keep her energy levels up, Kardashian leans on music, specifically Justin Bieber’s tracks. His beats set the pace for different parts of her workout, from warm-ups to heavy lifting. Songs like Sorry and What Do You Mean? drive her cardio, Peaches and Intentions keep her steady through weights, while Where Are Ü Now and Hold On give her bursts of intensity and motivation to finish strong.
More than just staying in shape
For Kardashian, fitness is more than aesthetics. It is about resilience, consistency, and finding what works for her body. From adapting workouts to protect her back to curating playlists that push her forward, her journey shows that even at the height of fame, staying fit takes discipline, personalisation and a little fun along the way.
