‘I’m really petite. I have no hips. I’m just small,’ she explained.

‘And so if I don’t work out for like a week or two, I feel like all my muscle goes away. So it is about consistency for me.’

In addition to adhering to a consistent fitness regimen, Kristen told the outlet that she maintains a healthy diet and rarely drinks alcohol.
‘I think it’s kind of everything in a healthy lifestyle, it all works together’, Kristin said.
‘I feel like I’m only doing the things that I really love right now and that feels really good,’ she concluded.
‘My work-life balance right now is at a perfect place and I’m really thankful for that.’
Change of perspective: The Hills veteran, who shares sons Camden, nine and Jaxon, seven, and daughter Saylor, nine, with ex-husband Jay Cutler, 39, has previously said that pregnancy changed her outlook on body image and dieting
The Hills veteran, who shares sons Camden, nine and Jaxon, seven, and daughter Saylor, nine, with ex-husband Jay Cutler, 39, has previously said that pregnancy changed her outlook on body image and dieting.
In her 2016 autobiography Balancing in Heels, Kristin wrote, ‘Becoming pregnant made me get serious about my health. Before pregnancy, I thought zero-calorie food was good for you and every calorie was equal.
‘Deep down, I knew that my eating habits weren’t truly healthful, but I put a lot of pressure on myself to be thin. I was my own worst critic: I hated the way I looked in certain pictures.
‘Everyone around me was tiny, and I felt like I had to be too. I thought counting calories gave me control over my body.’

She explained, ‘But when I became pregnant, I knew that everything I did, and especially what I ate, had a direct effect on my baby.’
Kristin explained that during her first pregnancy, she adopted a new approach toward nutrition which involved reading food labels as opposed to counting calories as well as consuming all-natural food.
‘For the first time in my life, I didn’t care if I gained a lot of weight,’ she wrote. ‘It was a time to eat well and eat smart, and even indulge in food that was forever off-limits in my pre-pregnancy life, including ‘fattening’ things like cheese and pasta.
‘I decided not to look at calories but instead to read ingredient labels and to reevaluate my ideas about avoiding so-called fattening foods.
‘ No matter what, I would eat only real food, no processed, chemical-laden junk. If it was good quality, real food, I would give in to cravings and enjoy every second.’
