Khloé Kardashian loves working out for her “mind, body and soul” — not just to maintain her toned physique.
The founder of Good American revealed that he is a “fitness fan” and the muscles that come along with it.
“I like muscles. I know some girls who just want to be thin, but I like to be muscular,” the 38-year-old told People. “[I like to] strengthen my body I don’t just want to be skinny, I want to be really strong.”
The reality star continued: “Everyone has their own body aspirations and goals, but I love when I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’ve got new muscle definition,’ or I finally have those triceps I’ve always wanted.” “
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star – who often posts sultry gym selfies and workouts online – has had a rough year after learning her ex-fiancé Tristan Thompson fathered another woman’s baby.
During the season premiere of the hit Hulu series, Kardashian said she felt a “dark cloud hanging over me every single day” after being blindsided by Thompson’s infidelity.
However, the mother-of-two managed to get through the tough days by channeling her energy into her training.
“Fitness just goes hand in hand with mental health and when I’m just sitting in the gym I feel so accomplished,” she explained. “What you give to the gym, you get out of it.”
While Kardashian’s current focus is on building muscle, her sisters have expressed concern about her “very skinny” figure following the baby mama drama.
During an episode of the famous family’s reality show, Kim Kardashian revealed that Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner are worried about Khloé’s weight loss.
“You look very thin,” Kim, 42, said. “Not that I’m trying to kick them out, but they messaged me and said they were a little concerned about you because you’re really weak.”
Although Khloé ignored her family’s concerns, fans also began to question the reality star’s well-being when she called herself “fat” for eating two of Kourtney Kardashian’s Lemme gummy vitamins.
The ‘Revenge Body’ alum has been open about her body image issues over the past decade, which she says have worsened when her family was thrust into the spotlight.
“When the show started, I was very confident. Very sure,” she told Andy Cohen last year. “And then in the first couple of seasons I became insecure about the public’s opinion of me. Then I thought I had a good experience of being sure, and then I think lately I’ve become insecure again.’
Adding that “all the Perez Hiltons and all those blogs at the time” started calling her “ugly” or “all these crazy things.”
