It took months of exhaustive daily workouts for Kim Kardashian to get her famously fit body back after giving birth to daughter North in 2013. That was because the 5’3″ Kim had put on a whopping 65 pounds—more than twice the 30 pounds most doctors agree is the most an expectant mother should gain during pregnancy.

"You can do most exercises that you would normally do while pregnant, you just can't do stuff on your back or too much abdominal work," Pasternak tells OK! "Kim often uses a Helix Lateral Trainer—it's like a lateral elliptical. It's popular with female clients because they can tone their butts and abductors and glutes in a lateral way."

Pasternak tries to accommodate Kim's busy lifestyle with bite-size workouts that don't require braving the paparazzi with a trip to the gym. "I'll send a video clip that says, 'Today you're going to do a reverse lunge... four sets of 25 repetitions.'"

To help Kim resist the urge to overeat, Pasternak reminds her that she needs only an extra 300 calories a day during pregnancy. And in the sweltering summer months in Calabasas, Calif., (or while she was on her vacay in St. Barts) he preaches the need for her to stay hydrated, which apparently isn't a problem. As Pasternak explains, "Kim guzzles tons of water!" Bottoms up, KK!
