WHETHER you’ve binged every series of The Kardashian’s or admire the reality star from the realms of Instagram, it’s safe to say that Khloe Kardashian is in the best shape of her life.
A quick scroll of her social media accounts and you’ll see the blonde bombshell flaunting her strong physique on red carpets, outstretched on white sandy beaches or hanging out at her family home in Calabasas, California.
But somewhere in between her hectic schedule, Khloe is a devotee to the gym.
When her marriage was on the rocks with former professional basketball player Lamar Odom, the mum-of-two sought refuge in the gym, where she soon became addicted to the results and famously gained her ‘revenge body’.
And with hard work comes immense reward. From her toned abs and sculpted arms to lean legs and taut bum, Khloe is now a fitness inspiration to so many.

As the third Kardashian sister turns 40 on June 27, we’ve enlisted the help of Charbel Ghossain, a personal trainer at Third Space Marylebone, to tell us how she got there.
“Looking good at 40 is not easy to get or maintain, and Khloe’s dedication to fitness is a reminder that investing in oneself pays off, regardless of age,” he says.
Hot Ones interview, the now-40-year-old said: “I like muscle, I don't just like to be thin.
“I think it's really empowering and I feel a sense of accomplishment after my workouts.”

In response, Charbel said: “For Khloe, the process of building muscle is not just physical, but also a boost in confidence.
“The release of hormones during her workouts amplifies this sense of empowerment, contributing to her overall feelings of accomplishment and wellbeing.”
Above all, working out serves as a mental health booster for Khloe, who said that she needs the gym for her psyche and loves what it does to her soul.
“There are numerous mental health benefits [to exercise], such as gaining confidence, a sense of accomplishment, fulfilment and self pride,” states Charbel.
“All these feelings are essential for mental health development as it makes you feel better about yourself.”

What does Khloe Kardashian eat every day?
Like the rest of her family, Khloe eats super clean around 90 per cent of the time.
A day in the life on her plate looks like a protein shake with almond butter and a piece of fruit for breakfast, a chicken salad for lunch, and fish and fresh vegetables for dinner.
Snacks are also on the table, so she’ll have apples and peanut butter or fruits and veggies if she’s hungry.
Khloe’s diet is lean, simple, high in protein, and it includes variety, which is great to build muscle and keep body fat low, according to Charbel.
“Her breakfast is made up of a protein shake, which is great for recovery, almond butter for essential fats, and fruit as fast-releasing carbs for fuel,” he adds.
Lunch and dinner are both high protein, low carb options – something which Charbel advises for his clients who are wanting to build muscle and keep their body fat low.
“You need to be able to take in around 1.8 to 2.2g of protein per kilogram of bodyweight in order to build a good amount of muscle, so it's essential to have high protein meals for lunch and dinner,” he adds.
“Her snacks are made up of natural sugars, so she’s still able to satisfy her sweet tooth cravings she may have in a controlled way, as well as getting all the nutrients.
“She also includes peanut butter to fulfil her daily fat intake.”

Despite her challenging workouts and healthy diet, Khloe certainly doesn’t deprive herself of treats every now and again.
“Whether it's a dessert or a favourite snack, these small indulgences can add joy to life” says Charbel.
“The key is to find a balance by compensating with additional gym sessions or increased physical activity, ensuring that treats remain just that – occasional pleasures, rather than sources of guilt or stress.”
As far as supplements go, Khloe is a huge advocate for skin health, which is why she regularly takes Beauty Collagen from Dose & Co. Collagen to help maintain skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles and fine lines.
It’s also a great recovery supplement where post-workout soreness is concerned, according to Charbel.
“Collagen’s joint-nourishing properties could reduce any discomfort from intense workouts, maintaining mobility and flexibility,” he explains.
Plus, collagen contributes to better sleep enabling Khloe to perform at her best in the gym and beyond, he adds.
So there you have it. Between hitting the gym regularly, eating a high protein, low carb diet – with a treat every once in a while – it’s no surprise why Khloe looks so damn good at 40.
