After their monumental breakups, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian have done nothing but show us how to get the proper revenge body via Snapchat — and I must say I love every minute of it. Is it weird that the Kardashians actually inspired me? For the past few months, my friends and I have taken a passion in group workouts trying to meet the goals of the Kardashian workout duo. Most of our new workout ideas come from the Kardashian sisters’ snaps, and without even really trying we’ve seen results while having fun learning their new challenging workouts to keep it interesting. With that being said, here are five of the most snapped Kardashian workouts so you, too, can work out like a Kardashian!
1. Always do a slight cardio warmup! 20-30 minutes is ideal to burn a steady amount of calories throughout the rest of your workout. As Kourtney Kardashian’s snap would tell you, start with the stair climbers. Stair climbers — Boy did I underestimate those the first time I used them, but after making them a consistent part of my workout I’ve seen great results in my leg muscle definition and glutes. Now I feel more than accomplished when it’s time to hit that cool down button.

2. As a Kardashian, the Bosu Ball is a girl’s best friend. With the many ab sequences they do, the consistent favorite is what I call the “In-and-Out.”
- Beginning in a seated position on the Bosu Ball (round side up) with legs tucked in and hands right behind your butt for support.
- Then push the legs straight out, continuing this motion for 25-30 reps.
- Now, turning the Bosu Ball on with the flat side up, you’ll need a flat weight of either 10 or 25-pounds for this exercise:
- Place your feet hip width a part on the flat side of the Bosu Ball, elevating your hips and back flat on your mat, placing the weight of your choice on your pelvis.
- Once the weight is comfortably placed, press up like you’re pressing up into a bridge then press back down. Repeat this for 25 reps.

- Now, turn the Bosu Ball back over with the round side facing up, you’ll need two dumbbells of whatever weight you are comfortable with for this exercise. (I personally use five- or 10-pound weights)
- Place the weights in front of the Bosu Ball an arm’s width apart.
- You will get into a push-up position with your stomach supported by the tip of the ball and instead of putting your arms on the floor they will be supported by the weights.
- You will then push up, bringing up a weight then placing it back down for another full pushup. Do 10 pushups total, evenly working each arm five times.

3. Lastly, another well-known Kardashian workout is The Rope. The rope is easier to use then it looks…trust me, I was very intimidated by it whenever I saw the gym bros aggressively using it.
- Simply grab both ends of the rope with both hands, starting in a squatted positon.
- At your preferred pace, alternate swinging the rope.

- Do this for a minute straight, three times through. (three minutes total)
That’s my quick Kardashian workout briefing. For more interesting workout sequences you may want to add on top of these be sure to add Kourtney, Khloe or myself on Snapchat (@ajaerin)!
