How does Blake Lively stay fit as a mother of 4? Her fitness trainer spills the beans

Blake begins each session by talking through how she feels, and how she’s been sleeping. “When her body doesn’t feel right or she gets a really bad night’s sleep, we might go heavier on the steps or we might do more restorative work,” he said.

Saladino shared that he generally splits Blake’s workouts into “linear days” where she works on bilateral moves (working one limb), and “lateral days” where she does unilateral movements (working two limbs). On other days, he splits their workouts into upper and lower body days.

Blake Lively’s workout routine

According to Saladino, on Mondays, Lively does a whole body circuit, including nine different exercises – three to four sets of 20 repetitions of the following:

• Squats
  Bicep curls
  Shoulder presses
  Front kicks
  Swiss ball alternating dumbbell chest presses
• Superset with tricep extensions
  Weighted walking lunges with glute squeeze
  Band rows
  Stiff-arm press downs

Tuesdays are for legs and core:

Warm on a bicycle or elliptical
Diagonal walks with mini bands
Butterfly steps
Lifted heel squats
Standing leg rotations
Cross-back lunges with medicine ball pulse
Reverse lunges with dumbbell press
Side-to-side speed skater
T-push-ups

On Wednesdays, Lively may hit a cardio routine or allow herself to rest from the intense workouts from previous days. On Thursdays she does the Whole Body Circuit again along with abs. And during the weekend, that is, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, she takes rest.

Saladino added that Lively’s diet does not include processed meals such as sugar and wheat. Instead, she eats organic healthy foods, and her meals incorporate a lot of fats, such as grass-fed butter and avocado. She also takes supplements such as magnesium, omega-3, multivitamin, and probiotics to fuel her body.
