Ivanka Trumpformer President Donald Trump’s second child, shares details about her health and exercise regimen.

“Since moving to Miami, I’ve focused on weightlifting and strength training, and it’s helped me build muscle and change my body composition in ways I couldn’t imagine,” she also wrote.

Trump now devotes three to four days a week to strength training on his own or with one of his trainers. (Check out her fitness routine here.)

Her approach to strength training focuses on “basic, time-tested and simple movements,” which include squats, deadlifts, pull-ups, push-ups and pull-ups, as she detailed.

“These are the cornerstones of my training that emphasize functional strength throughout life,” said Trump, who was her father’s top assistant during his presidency.

When working with a trainer, Trump said she prioritized her shape first, then added weight.

“This ensures a safe and stable progression while maintaining the integrity of each movement,” she wrote. “I incorporate mobility into my classes to increase my range of motion.”

Trump wrote that weightlifting has built her strength, as well as her overall athleticism and resilience.

“I switched my focus to weightlifting and strength training and it made a difference.”

Nutrition was also key to her stronger physique.

“Also new to me, but critical to my progress, is increasing my protein consumption sharply,” Trump wrote in the post.

“Now I consume 30 to 50 grams of protein per meal. It works… I’ve never been stronger!”

When she’s not at the gym, Trump said she practices yoga every week and is active with her children, including surfing, swimming, hiking, walking and golfing.

To improve her cardiovascular fitness, she also does short, high-intensity interval training each week.

“This balanced approach gave me new energy fitness routine and produced great results,” Trump wrote, adding that each person’s routine is “very personal” and that “what works is what you’re actually going to do all the time.”

“Her emphasis on strength training is the ‘secret recipe’ that everyone is looking for,” he told Fox News Digital.

When Padgett trains women over 50 years oldit focuses on low-weight, high-rep compound movements, such as the TRX row, using only body weight for 15 reps.

He also mixes in heavy, medium-rep compound movements, such as the barbell deadlift, using 85 pounds for eight reps, for an “overall sculpted look.”

“The most important factors in terms of exercise and nutrition are proper form to ensure targeted muscle activation and a high-protein lifestyle” said Pagett, who is a certified personal trainer and strength coach.
