Every gym session adds up— even if you’re half asleep.
Kim Kardashianshared a relatable post on her Instagram story Wednesday, saying she had topush past her fatigueto squeeze in her daily workout.
“As I finish my morning workout, I’m thinking about how this week I have been tired and not as motivated,” she wrote over a picture of a stair climber. “BUT consistency wins and all of the early mornings in the gym will pay off.”
“Everything counts,” she added. “Motivation doesn’t build muscle. Dedication does.”
Kardashian Westcompletely revamped her workouts and dietover the last two years with the help oftrainer and former bodybuilder Melissa Alcantara, who relocated to Los Angeles to work with theKeeping Up with the Kardashiansstar full-time.

“Kim told me, ‘I love my body. I love the way it looks and I love my hips,’”Alcantara previously told PEOPLE. “She just wanted more muscle. She wanted bigger hamstrings, which accentuates the entire leg. And she wants those cut arms and abs!”
Alcantara continued: “She didn’t want to be skinny. She wanted to have muscle and feel strong. And she wanted to find something she can do for the rest of her life. I totally understood where she was coming from.”
The pair now train at Kardashian West’s home gym six days a week at 6 a.m., and theirworkouts target a different body part— shoulders, biceps, triceps, chest, back and legs — each day. Those workouts are primarily weightlifting, but they also do cardio workouts.

“She loves and hates leg days,” Alcantara said. “But she’s committed! She knows what it takes, but it’s also really grueling. It’s heavy, it’s killer, but she’ll be like, ‘Alright, let’s do it!’ She’s a workhorse.”
Kardashian West, who initially wanted to change up her workouts to lose weight after giving birth to sonSaint West, said in August that it took time for her body to tone up.
“I didn’t see results right away, but when you stick with something and you’re consistent, you will. So, I love it.”
And altering her diet also made a huge difference for Kardashian West,who went from 140 lbs. to 116.
