Over the years, I've had the incredible fortune to work with many high performing celebrities. I've always thought it was odd that being a "celebrity trainer" came with great value. As if I'm a better trainer than those who haven’t trained someone famous?

There is one consideration I now understand better, and that is…

Celebrities have their pick of the litter, so to speak. They can work with pretty much anyone they want, and they tend to work with the best.

I have a long history of training celebrities that dates back to the 1990’s when I was a baby in New York City. On a regular basis, I worked with major celebrities, many of whom you know. My favorites were Howard Stern, Natasha Richardson, Tuesday Weld, and Courtney Love. In later years, I worked with Adrian Grenier, Petra Ecclestone, Billy Crystal, and even went on the campaign trail with a presidential candidate during the Iowa caucuses. I worked with Heidi Klum during a photo shoot to make sure her moves look technically accurate. That one was super cool.

I thought it would be fun to share with you a workout that I taught Karlie Kloss. Being a good trainer, I always plan out my workouts before I show up to train a client. Recently I was reviewing my files and found this workout. (And PS, yes, she is as amazing as she seems on television. She is warm and genuine, and works hard in the gym – a trainer’s dream)

If this workout is good enough for a supermodel, it’s perfect for you too!

This workout is a combination of single set circuit training paired with high intensity cardio intervals. It can be done at home with some bands and a set of dumbbells, or at the gym.
