Kim Kardashian Squat exercises

TV reality start and socialite Kim Kardashian, who recently married basketball player Kris Humphries has made fitness exercises part of her routine. At least she works out 3 times a week but depending on her schedule she works out 4 or 5 times a week, Kardashian told the site howcelebritiesloseweight.

When Kardashian goes to the gym she starts her routine by running on the treadmill for about 30 minutes (2 miles per work out), then she lifts weights for about 30 minutes and then does a bunch of stomach exercises and then stretch.

But Kardashian's likely favorite exercise?  Squats.

"An exercise that I’ve been doing every day that’s really been helping and no gym equipment is needed is… Get a chair or even go near your couch and make sure nothing is in front of it so you can stand right in front of it and act as if you are going to sit down but don’t actually sit! Just lightly touch your booty on it and come back up. Do that seven times!," Kardashian said according to the site.

"Then do the same thing but this time only half way, come back up and do that seven times. Then do it one more time but when you go to sit down and come back up, only come up about an inch up off the chair! So each time you go lower and lower!."

"Once you finished your lucky 21, take a break and try it again. I try to do that cycle four times," Kardashian added.
