Khloe Kardashian thinks a good workout is better than therapy! The new Shape magazine cover girl opened up about the hardship of the last few years and how she’s turned her turmoil into a healthy lifestyle.
“When Lamar [Odom] and I broke up, I had all these emotions that I didn’t know what to do with,” she told the magazine. “Some people suggested therapy, but instead I joined my local Equinox gym, where I’d get on an elliptical and watch bad reality TV. As a result, I started losing weight.”
And the reality star’s weight loss journey
continued until her ex was hospitalized last fall after being found
unconscious in a Nevada brothel. She stayed by his side throughout, but
admitted that her stress from the situation contributed to a relapse of
her former unhealthy routines.
“When Lamar was in the hospital, I stopped doing
the one thing I really needed: exercise,” she said. “The gym takes all
the anxiety away when I’m overwhelmed or stressed out.”
These days, the Strong Looks Better Naked author is back to her regular workouts, even doing “sister” days with Kim and Kourtney Kardashian for some extra motivation.
The fitness pro dished on the importance of giving
yourself some extra incentive before hitting the gym. She noted that
buying a “cute outfit” to workout in can help get that “extra squat or
an extra lunge.”
She also feels it’s key to look your best in order to feel your best.
“I also always wear hoop earrings; they’re like my
security blanket,” she said. “I’m inspired to do an extra squat or an
extra lunge. People laugh at me, but why not? They make me feel more
dressed up. I also wear makeup when I work out. I put on a tinted
moisturizer, mascara, and cherry lip balm, and fill in my eyebrows. If I
feel cuter with a little lip color and mascara, why should anybody else
care?”
