Kim Kardashian’s trainer, Senada Greca, reveals her 5-minute fitness tip

Be thin like Kim.

Kim Kardashian’s personal trainer is revealing how you can transform your body and improve your mental health in just five minutes a day.

Senada Greca, whose clients also include Bebe Rexha and Miranda Kerr, shared her tips and tricks for building healthy habits and strong bodies last week on Jay Shetty’s On Purpose podcast.

Greca founded the WeRise app, a women’s empowerment platform that takes a holistic approach to health, wellness and personal development. She emphasizes the importance of consistency for those looking to start or reinvigorate their fitness journeys.

“I always say start small,” she told Shetty. “You want to climb that mountain one step at a time… Start with five minutes and then build that habit.”

Greca claims that we don’t need motivation, but commitment to create a daily habit.

“Start with what’s accessible,” she continued. “Five minutes a day for one week, 10 minutes the next week for a week, and then start building back up from there—it makes it more accessible.”

While you may not see drastic results from five minutes of effort, Greca insists that starting small and sticking to it will allow you to build a solid foundation for fitness.

“You’ll start to form a habit, and that’s what’s key to making fitness a lifelong activity,” she said on the podcast. “While in the immediate term, it doesn’t produce results, those five minutes will set you up for success.”

Greca points out that accessibility and routine are the twin principles of maintaining this success. She notes the importance of scheduling your workouts for the same time each day to stay on track.

“There is no specific time that is the ‘best time to exercise.’ When do you feel most energetic? What is the best time for your life and lifestyle? I would suggest beginners take it in the morning, so you can get it out of the way and not leave it up to chance,” she added.

Greca also suggests creating an environment that supports exercise, whether it’s dedicating a space in your home to fitness or laying out your gym clothes the night before. As she explains, “It eliminates another step.”

What can five minutes do for you? In addition to being a building block for a lifelong commitment, Greca says a few minutes of walking or jogging, followed by squats or deadlifts, is a powerful place to start.

“It’s going to target some of the bigger muscles in your body—maybe do a few rows and then you’ll have some movements covered,” she said.

If you’re working out at home, Greca says anything can become gym equipment: “Use your body weight—you can do hip thrusts with your shoulders on the couch.”

She jokes that even children can become fitness props: “Grab a child, put it on your hips and do hip thrusts. I’m a big believer that you can turn anything in your home into something to exercise. It’s doable.”

A fan of home workouts and the gym, Greca credits her meditation, journaling, and gratitude practices for helping support her body, mind, and spirit.

Greca says Kardashian, 43, is among her most dedicated clients and is always up for a challenge.

“She shows up on time and is ready to go, she never complains or backs down,” Greca said.

For Greca, training celebrity clients like Kardashian is less about accolades and more about influence. Struggling with an eating disorder and “exercising for all the wrong reasons,” it’s important for Greca to spread her message of balance, nutrition and strength.

“I believe in working with these people who have such a high impact because of the impact they will have on the larger population,” she confessed.

“Through them, I can send a message of strength to women; strength is beautiful, strength is faith,” she continued. “If I can send that message, especially to young women, then my goal is accomplished.”
