Inside Ivanka Trump's grueling diet and fitness routine

Ivanka Trump has kept her summer style in the spotlight, repeatedly drawing attention to her fit figure during a season filled with high-profile getaways.

The 44-year-old First Daughter has spent recent months traveling to a string of picturesque destinations, including Iceland and the Bahamas.

Along the way, she has shared glimpses of her trips with millions of followers on social media, posting vacation photos in which the mother of three appeared in bikinis, fitted dresses and other figure-hugging looks.

Ivanka’s toned physique is the result of a disciplined routine, with the former White House adviser previously opening up about her strict diet and demanding fitness regimen.

Even while enjoying an indulgent summer abroad, she appears to have stayed committed to maintaining an active lifestyle.

Earlier this month, Ivanka posted striking images from a family trip to Iceland, including shots of herself swimming in the Blue Lagoon in an ice-blue bikini that highlighted her flat stomach and defined abs.

In another photo shared this week from the same Iceland getaway, she showed off her slim silhouette in a black one-piece swimsuit while relaxing in a spa.

The sleek swimsuit featured a dramatic low-cut back, leaving her toned arms and long legs clearly visible as she enjoyed the scenic retreat.

In June, after she attended her brother Donald Trump Jr’s wedding to Bettina Anderson in the Bahamas, she showed off her rock-solid abs once again, posing in a silky, see-through two-piece set over her navy blue bikini.

She has also been a big fan of strappy dresses this summer, showing off her long legs in various resort-inspired designs by Cara Cara and Donde Esteban. 

While attending Michael Rubin’s star-studded white party in the Hamptons this year, she opted for a figure-hugging, low-cut, white fringe gown.

So, how does the jet-setting mother-of-three achieve such an enviable figure while staying so busy?

Well, it appears that Ivanka still manages to stay active even while on vacation.

Shoehorned between photos of her enjoying beach trips, yacht rides and spa days, the blonde beauty has shared numerous snaps of herself participating in various sports.

She has posted pictures of her and her family swimming, hiking, playing golf, doing archery and even fishing.

In addition to participating in energetic activities, Ivanka has previously said that she works out four days a week, focusing on weight and strength training.

‘Something that I think has been a massive change for me since I moved to Miami, I started prioritizing exercise,’ Ivanka revealed during an appearance on the Skinny Confidential Him and Her podcast in January last year. 

‘Initially, that took the form of yoga and Pilates, these things that I had done at various points of my life, but now I had the ability, because I was on my own schedule, to make them more consistent and a more regular part of my life.

‘Gradually, I started doing more resistance and weight training, and that’s when I saw a massive difference.

‘That’s when I really noticed a massive change for me, and my body composition fundamentally changed.

‘I got stronger, I got leaner and I could kind of get away with it because I’m really tall, so I can look lean even if I wasn’t strong.’

She added: ‘Yoga and Pilates, while I enjoy them a lot more than resistance training, I was not able to develop muscle through them. I really needed this… It’s been life-changing.’

She said what really worked for her was the simple exercises, like ‘pushes,’ ‘pulls’ and ‘deadlifts.’

In addition, Ivanka and her whole family enjoy the practice of jiu-jitsu, a type of self-defense martial arts. 

She wrote: 'I believe in a strength training approach built on foundational, time-tested and simple movements - squats, deadlifts, hinges, pushes, and pulls'

In September 2024, she shared more insight into her daily workouts via Instagram.

‘I believe in a strength training approach built on foundational, time-tested and simple movements – squats, deadlifts, hinges, pushes, and pulls. These are the cornerstones of my workout, emphasizing functional strength for life,’ she wrote at the time. 

‘Weightlifting has enhanced not just my strength but my overall athleticism and resilience.’

Ivanka said that ‘prioritizing form’ was also ‘essential’ to her, adding: ‘Only then do I add weight.’

‘I also incorporate a couple of short (ten-minute), high-intensity interval training sessions (such as sprints) each week to keep my cardiovascular fitness sharp and dynamic,’ she continued.

In addition to working out, Ivanka also prioritizes her wellness routine, as she explained during her appearance on the Skinny Confidential podcast.

Before a workout, she said she always adds amino acids and electrolytes to her water, which can help to balance the fluids in your body. 

Before she goes to bed, she likes to take magnesium and uses the $35 Skinny Confidential Mouth Tape to ensure a good night’s sleep. 

As for her diet, Ivanka admitted in 2016 that before she became a mom, she didn’t focus on eating healthily at all.

Instead, she confessed to Shape magazine that she consumed food ‘like a teenager,’ feasting on ‘carbs three times a day, usually in the form of pasta or pizza.’

She also never cooked meals at home, as she once told Oprah: ‘Until I got married, the only pieces of cookware I owned were a couple of pots and a George Foreman grill from college.’

But after getting married and welcoming her daughter Arabella in 2011, all of that changed.

She began focusing on a protein-rich diet, and in October 2024, she revealed on Instagram that she ‘consumes between 30 to 50 grams of protein per meal.’

‘Slowly, I started to actually enjoy, if not crave, these healthier options. Now healthy eating is the norm for me, especially at breakfast and lunch,’ Ivanka told Shape in 2016.
