Kristin Johns is headed to the gym in her workout gear. In a new social media post the influencer shows off her incredible figure in a yellow workout top and green leggings prior to an exercise session. “Off to the gym,” she captioned the Instagram Stories image. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
In a YouTube video about her diet and fitness habits, Kristin reveals what she eats in a day. For breakfast she starts with a Cliff Bar. “It’s kind of a sad breakfast,” she jokes. “It’s not like a full meal, but it’s good for when you’re in a rush. For lunch she opts for something “a little more hearty,” a sweet potato bowl with peanut butter, honey, some ground cinnamon, some plain Greek yogurt, some coconut flakes, chia seeds ,and also some granola. For dinner she has grilled shrimp, veggies and rice.
Kristin prioritizes hydration. She drinks multiple glasses of “lemon water” daily, she says. She adds that she tracks her water intake on an app, “which I love ’cause I’m so bad at drinking the right amount of water a day.” According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.
“Another thing that I have kind of discovered about myself and about working out and fitness and health is how important physical activity is not only for my physical health, I also think it’s equally as important for my mental health because I remember when I moved to LA, the first month, I didn’t really work out at all, or I was just doing something maybe like once every two weeks, just like a random workout,” she said in the same video. “And I was feeling so tired and sad and I was just feeling so blah, you know what I’m saying? And, once I started getting on a consistent workout routine, I just felt so much more energetic, so much happier, so much more driven to get things done. And I just think that that is the most important thing to remember about fitness is that yeah, it’s great to look good and strong and feel healthy, but also just getting out and being active just boosts your mental health so much.”
Kristin enjoys sweating al fresco. “My first favorite exercise is hiking. LA has amazing hiking trails and it’s a great workout. It really gets your heart rate up,” Kristin says.

Kristin is a big fan of using Class Plass, so she can mix up her workouts. “I usually like to go to spin classes, I go to Pilates, I do different circuit classes, boot camps, all these different things,” she says.

One of the Republican party‘s most influential members, Lara has demonstrated how she never really stopped challenging herself, even during her first pregnancy in 2017, when she continued to workout in the gym with her trainer Michael Maloney, setting fitness goals for expected moms. She may have drawn flak from a section of social media users for going overboard during this crucial phase in her life but also amazed many with her resolve and commitment towards fitness.
From cheerleading, horseback riding to running marathons, each of her fitness activities molded her into the person she is. Balancing her duties for her party and her commitment to fitness, no wonder Lara Trump is making headlines for setting the right goals for both her personal and work life.
Lara Trump’s favourite workouts that are inspiring the world
Lara in one of her podcasts The Right View talked about her favourite workouts and the story behind developing passion for each of the sport.
While growing up in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, Lara developed a liking for horseback riding when she tried her hands at it on her neighbour’s horses, as per her podcast The Right View. While she could convince her parents to give her horseback riding lessons, things didn’t always go smoothly during the training and she ended up suffering from an elbow injury. It was her love for the sport, then she broke both her wrists close to her wedding with Eric and had to wear casts during reception, she shared in the podcast.
Her passion for cheerleading
Lara didn’t let one single sport define her and there was a time when she was hooked to cheerleading. After failing to get into the “JV cheerleading team”, she didn’t lose her enthusiasm and after getting a pep talk from her father, she continued to practice and made it. If there is a lesson that one can grasp from failures, this definitely makes for an inspiring story.
Lara Trump’s love for running
During her cheer training in high school, a punishment turned into a blessing in disguise when Lara began to enjoy the task given by her coach to run 5 miles, she recalled in her podcast The Right View. She found out that she has it in her to be a runner and had endurance to run long-distance running. This is also Lara’s favourite activity to beat stress. Lara now aims to complete the Ironman triathlon in Kona, Hawaii where one has to complete a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride, and a 26.2-mile run.

Pregnancy to postpartum fitness: Here’s how to return to exercise after childbirth
![Pregnancy to postpartum fitness: Here’s how to return to exercise after childbirth Pregnancy to postpartum fitness: Here’s how to return to exercise after childbirth](https://images.hindustantimes.com/img/2024/07/19/1600x900/Postpartum_Care__Tips_for_the_Recovery_Process_1721396955763_1721396970049.jpg)
Giving birth to a new life is considered to be one of the most cherished event for a woman but how can we forget that pregnancy and childbirth brings so many changes in a woman’s body from these three aspects – anatomical, physiological and emotional. These three parameters are the pillars for every individual’s wellbeing.
In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Priya Singh, Women’s Health Physiotherapist and Lactation Consultant at Cloudnine Group of Hospitals in Vashi and Navi Mumbai, highlighted that the documented changes that occur during the course of pregnancy are:
- Changes in the hormonal secretions
- Overall increase in body fluid
- Laxity of joints and ligaments due to relaxin hormone
- Changes in the curvature of the lumbar spine
- Stretching of the abdominal muscles to accommodate the growing fetus.
- Changes in the skin
- The most important: weight gain
According to Priya Singh, there are many other changes that a woman’s body may go through but the above changes mentioned are the most common ones and visible ones.
Why are we discussing changes during pregnancy while we discuss ‘return to exercise after childbirth’?
Priya Singh explained, “That is for you to understand that the changes that have occurred during child birth would certainly require some time to return back to normal, as how it was! You can make your bounce back process a little easier by staying active during pregnancy as exercising would help you maintain your fitness level, the muscle strength, stamina and flexibility which in return helps you to combat the expected pregnancy discomforts and that allows you to start your post-partum fitness journey soon after you give birth.”
She elaborated, “The most common concerns that every women has after child birth are “why this belly still looks bigger after the baby is born, what can be done to have this belly go in, how much time will it take, what all activities can I do”, will wearing a belt help?. The uterus is made up of smooth muscles and it grows in size with progressing weeks of pregnancy and so the abdominal muscles also stretch to accommodate the growing fetus. After childbirth the uterus is still big in size. Which shrinks and reduces naturally on its own with time. This process is referred as Involution.”
Now let us discuss something that also causes the abdominal muscles to bulge is Diastasis recti; the separation of the rectus abdominal muscle that is more than more than 2 cm would require your attention. There are 4 types of Diastasis recti and that are:
- Open Diastasis
- Open below Naval
- Open Above Naval
- Completely Open
As per Priya Singh, 2-3 weeks after childbirth it is recommended to get checked from a physiotherapist so that they can prescribe exercises as per the assessment and type of Diastasis recti present.
What the role of abdominal belt to play here? Let’s discuss.
The criteria for wearing a belt are–
- Always consult your healthcare provider before using one for yourself.
- If you have a loose, saggy abdominal muscle and basic daily activities are affected without support.
- Less strength in core muscles
- Twin pregnancy
- If you are a Multiparous women.
Priya Singh suggested, “One may require to use a belt initially for about 6-12 weeks which is enough. An abdominal belt offers you a good posture and support but avoid prolonged usage as it will lead to muscle wasting, work on the muscle consistently with core exercises as per one’s existing muscle strength. A physiotherapist can help you with wearing the belt correctly and guide you with the right core exercises to begin with.”
The fitness expert advised, “The exercises that can be started soon after giving birth are abdominal muscles contraction or activation, Deep breathing exercises along with the core activation & other muscle activation exercises can be considered.”
She added a few suggestions that mothers may follow to avoid any injury, discomfort while they are returning to exercise after giving birth –
- Take it slow, allow your body to heal for about 4-6 weeks.
- One can start basic mobility and muscle activation exercises soon after childbirth as it allows the joints and muscles to retain its basic function.
- Intensity of the exercises can be increased and mild to moderate intensity exercises for upper body, back and abdomen can be started after 6 weeks.
- Moderate strength training can be started to strengthen upper and lower body with weights of up to 3-3.5 kg for beginners along with core activation exercises. Avoid lifting heavy weights during daily chores or as a part of exercise, weight training is an important part of the exercise routine but the weights must be increased in gradual manner to avoid any injury.
- Mild to moderate Cardio exercises like walking and brisk walking can be started after 6 weeks. Avoid HITT (high intensity interval training).
Priya Singh concluded, “I would recommend mothers to take professional advice on which exercise to begin with. Evaluation of muscles strength plays a vital role in forming an exercise program of an individual. The result of not having a good core strength is having multiple discomforts out of which the most common is backache. A Physiotherapist can help you with having a safe exercise routine post childbirth by keeping all the exercise guidelines in mind. The aim of your exercise program shall focus on building a strong system instead of weight loss. Weight loss is the byproduct of life style that we have, eating habits, consistency and patience.”
