Kim has not often talked about doing yoga, usually preferring weight lifting and repeтιтion workouts, but she seems to have taken a new interest in it.
The former DASH owner has credited her trainer Alcantara with getting her in top shape.
‘Shout out to my trainer @fitgurlmel who really changed my body. When I wasn’t happy with what I saw back in the mirror I spent a whole year training so hard 5 or 6 days a week putting in a lot of work and changed the way that I eat and there’s such a noticeable difference,’ Kim said earlier this year.
‘I am firm and less cellulite and so much more confident. SO THANK YOU for waking up at 5am to do crazy body building workouts & sprints that I hate & putting me on to this lifestyle.’
Earlier this year Melissa talked about working with the KKW Beauty owner.
She loves and hates leg days,’ Alcantara told People. ‘But she’s committed! She knows what it takes, but it’s also really grueling. It’s heavy, it’s killer, but she’ll be like, Alright, let’s do it! She’s a workhorse.’
So far the trainer thinks Kim is doing a great job.
Kim has been getting some really nice results, like with her triceps! She can’t believe how much has changed over the last few months. And when you’re in this deep, it’s hard to go back. She just keeps it up. She’s focused and she has a goal in mind.’
Alcantara was also seen on a November episode of KUWTK; Kim found her in 2017 on Instagram.
‘I’m going to start a really crazy diet. I was looking on Instagram and this body builder popped up on my page and she had gained 70 pounds in her pregnancy. Her kid’s like 6 now. She is like ripped,’ Kim said.
‘Melissa is a trainer I found. She’s super inspiring to me and I really want to meet up with her and she if she could train me. She could help direct my food and really get me on an amazing path … If I was 10 percent like her it would be life-changing. Like my whole arms and back. It’s mostly food. I gotta have this lifestyle. I gotta try.’
Alcantara is big on ‘making food simple,’ and eating ‘fresh and good.’
And she keeps workouts fun.
‘It’s a mix. I like low-intensity interval training. I have high-intensity and then weight training.’ she noted.
