Kylie Jenner’s workout routine, as far as she’s shown it, comes down to three things: walking (often on an incline treadmill), Pilates (mat and reformer), and strength training. She doesn’t publish a plan, so the sets-and-reps lists you’ll find online are reconstructions, not her actual schedule. The best-supported pattern is roughly three to four sessions a week, with walking and Pilates doing a lot of the work.
That’s a more useful starting point than it sounds. It’s also far more doable than the “twice a day, six days a week” versions floating around.
Below, we sort what’s sourced from what’s recycled, work out how often she really trains, and turn the pattern into a week a busy person can keep.
What do we actually know about Kylie Jenner’s workouts?
Most “Kylie Jenner workout” pages blend three kinds of information: things she’s posted herself, things an unnamed source told a magazine, and exercise lists that have been passed from site to site for years. Sorting them is the fastest way to see what’s worth borrowing.
| What’s claimed | Where it comes from | How much to trust it |
|---|---|---|
| Walking and Pilates are her favorite pairing | Her own Instagram Story, April 2022, shared while she was postpartum | High, though it’s a few years old |
| A steep incline treadmill walk of about 30 minutes, then the StairMaster, then abs | Her own videos from her home gym, March 2021 | High, but dated |
| Reformer Pilates at the ALO gym in Los Angeles, plus a Pilates session on an ALO yacht trip off Sardinia | Her own posts, September and June 2026 | High, but promotional (more on that below) |
| Working out every other day | Her own Story, 2020 | Medium: old, and she was talking about summer prep |
| At least three sessions a week in her home gym with a personal trainer | An unnamed source speaking to E! News, repeated in later coverage | Medium to low |
| Lunges, rows, ball throws and mountain climbers in sets of 12 to 15 | Fitness listicles attributing the circuit to celebrity trainer Gunnar Peterson | Low: we couldn’t trace it to Kylie or to Peterson |
| Daily or twice-daily training as her normal pattern | Tabloid coverage, plus one-off posts where she logged two sessions in a day | Low as a pattern |
Two things stand out in that table. First, the parts that come from Kylie herself are the simplest: walking, Pilates, some strength work. Second, the more detailed and more intense a claim gets, the weaker its sourcing tends to be.
How often does Kylie Jenner work out?
Not every day. Putting the sources together, three to four sessions a week is the most reasonable read. In 2020 she said she was training every other day, and the E! source described at least three sessions weekly. She has also posted days where she did two workouts, which is probably where the “twice a day” idea comes from. One doubled-up day doesn’t make a routine.
For comparison, the CDC’s adult guidelines ask for 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity a week, plus muscle-strengthening work on at least two days. Three or four sessions can meet that, as long as walking fills the gaps and some of those sessions involve real resistance.
Does Kylie Jenner do Pilates?
Yes, and it’s the part of her routine that’s most visible right now. She posted from a reformer bed at the ALO gym in early September 2026, and she did a Pilates session on an ALO yacht trip in June. She’s been photographed at reformer classes since at least 2023, so it predates the brand deal.
That deal matters for how you read her feed. In August 2026 ALO announced her as its newest ambassador, with a campaign shot by Mert & Marcus. Her gym photos from September are real workouts, but they’re also content for a partner. That doesn’t make them fake. It does mean a post tells you she trained, not how.
What does Pilates actually do for you? The research is encouraging but modest. A systematic review of randomized trials found emerging evidence that Pilates improves core muscle strength in people with chronic low back pain, and its authors were clear that the mechanisms aren’t well understood yet. Our read: Pilates is a good way to build trunk control, mobility and body awareness. It isn’t proven to replace progressive weight training if your goal is stronger legs or more muscle. The reformer’s springs add resistance, but keep two sessions a week where you can steadily add load.
What’s in the “Kylie Jenner workout” you see online?
The version that circulates most is a full-body circuit, usually listed as 3 sets of 12 to 15 reps:
- Lower body: dumbbell squats, reverse lunges, skater lunges, side lunges, stability ball leg curls
- Pull and arms: lat pulldowns, bent-over dumbbell rows, biceps curls
- Push (on a second day): dumbbell chest press, flyes, cable woodchops
- Core and finisher: crunches, reverse crunches, ball throws, mountain climbers, planks, then a short cardio interval
Treat it as a perfectly decent general strength template that happens to carry her name. It’s not confirmed as hers. If you try it, use light weights for the first week, and stop each set with a couple of reps left in the tank. The goal of week one is learning the movements.
How do you build a Kylie-style week you’ll actually keep?
Here’s the pattern we’d borrow: two strength days, one Pilates session, and walking most days. It follows the three things she’s actually said and shown, and it maps onto the CDC guidelines.
| Day | Session | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | Lower-body strength (squats, lunges, leg curls) | 35 min |
| Tuesday | Brisk walk, incline if you have a treadmill | 30 min |
| Wednesday | Pilates: mat video or a reformer class | 30 to 45 min |
| Thursday | Brisk walk | 30 min |
| Friday | Upper body and core strength (rows, presses, planks) | 35 min |
| Saturday | Long walk, ideally outside | 45 min |
| Sunday | Rest, or an easy 15-minute walk | 0 to 15 min |
That’s 105 minutes of walking before Sunday. Add three 15-minute walks on other days (after dinner works well) and you land on the CDC’s 150 minutes, while the two strength days cover the muscle-strengthening guideline. This template is ours, built from her pattern. It isn’t her schedule.
The version for a week that falls apart: one strength session, one Pilates session, one long walk. Three anchors. If you hit those, the week counted. Add the rest back when life calms down. If you’d rather fit this into a whole day, our daily routine template helps you slot the sessions around work and meals.
Reformer, mat, or at home: which kind of Pilates fits?
| Option | Best for | Skip if |
|---|---|---|
| Reformer class at a studio | Instructor cues, spring resistance, and a set appointment that gets you out the door | A class every week is hard on your budget or your schedule |
| Mat Pilates at a studio or gym | Learning the fundamentals with someone checking your form | You’d rather not leave the house |
| Mat Pilates from a video at home | Fitting 20 to 30 minutes in around everything else, at no cost | You know you won’t press play without someone expecting you |
If you’ve never tried it, one reformer class is the easiest way to find out whether you like Pilates, since the instructor does the setup and the explaining. After that, a home mat routine can fill the weeks in between.
Where does copying a celebrity routine go wrong?
Her setup isn’t yours. She has a home gym and, reportedly, a personal trainer. You have a lunch break and maybe a spare room.
A photo is a snapshot, not a month. Gym pictures show one good day, usually with lighting, styling and often a sponsor. They say little about the weeks she skipped.
And the volume is where people overreach. When a routine is described as two sessions a day, six days a week, almost nobody can keep that up without getting hurt or burned out. Copy the pattern, not the volume. Walking most days, Pilates once and two strength sessions is a pattern you can still be doing in March.
We’ve left her diet out on purpose. The reports vary widely, and a workout article is a poor place to start rebuilding how you eat.
More questions people ask about Kylie Jenner’s workouts
Who is Kylie Jenner’s trainer?
We couldn’t find a trainer she’s named recently. Over the years, coverage has linked the Kardashian-Jenner family to Gunnar Peterson, who has worked with Khloe Kardashian and Kendall Jenner, and several listicles attribute Kylie’s circuit to him. We couldn’t verify that for Kylie specifically.
Does Kylie Jenner do HIIT?
Older coverage says she likes high-intensity intervals and switching her workouts up often. Her recent public posts lean toward Pilates, walking and strength work, and editorial summaries describe her routine as a mix of high-intensity exercise, strength and Pilates.
Is a Kylie Jenner workout good for beginners?
The structure is. Walking, Pilates and two strength days suit most beginners. The volume isn’t, so start with the three-anchor version for two weeks before adding anything.
Your first week with this routine
The pattern is simple: walk most days, do Pilates once, lift twice. That’s what Kylie has actually shown, and it’s a pattern you can keep up without a trainer or a home gym.
Your next step: open your calendar and book two strength sessions and one Pilates session this week, in slots you already know are free. Don’t add anything else until those three have happened twice.
