Ivanka Trump, the eldest daughter of former United States president Donald Trump, is often seen flaunting her flawless looks and she recently recently opened up about her fitness journey.
The 43-year-old mother of three, who is also a business executive, shared insights on social media, highlighting her transition to weight training.
Taking to her Instagram, Trump posted a video in which she can be seen working out in the gym, demonstrating five exercises that she follows to maintain her health.
In the caption of the post, the former White House advisor wrote: “Like many women, I used to focus primarily on cardio, yoga and Pilates,” Trump wrote in a post alongside a shared video.”
“Since moving to Miami, I have shifted my focus to weightlifting and resistance training, and it has been transformative in helping me build muscle and shift my body composition in ways I hadn’t imagined,” she also wrote.
In her post, she emphasised that she dedicates three to four days a week to workouts, either solo or with a personal trainer.
Her strength training approach focuses on “foundational, time-tested and simple movements” that include squats, deadlifts, hinges, pushes and pulls, she detailed.
Working with a trainer, Trump said she first prioritised her form and then added weight.
“This ensures a safe and steady progression while maintaining the integrity of each movement,” she wrote. “I incorporate mobility work within my sessions to enhance range of motion.”
Trump wrote that weightlifting has enhanced her strength as well as her overall athleticism and resilience.
“I have shifted my focus to weightlifting and resistance training, and it has been transformative.”
Nutrition has also been key to her stronger physique.
“Also new for me, but critical to my progress, has been increasing my protein intake dramatically,” Trump wrote in the post. “I now consume between 30 to 50 grams of protein a meal. It works … I’ve never been stronger!”
However, she also revealed that when she’s not in the gym, she does weekly yoga sessions and outdoor activities with her children, including surfing, swimming, hiking, walking and golf.
Additionally, to boost her cardiovascular fitness, she also incorporates some short, high-intensity interval training sessions each week.
“This balanced approach has infused new energy into my fitness routine and yielded great results,” she wrote, adding that each person’s routine is “highly personal,” and that “what works is what you will actually do consistently.”
