Lara Trump’s fitness philosophy is to always keep things fresh. “I like to change up my workout as often as possible so that I don’t get bored and my body doesn’t stop responding,” she told The Trump Organization. In addition to training for triathlons and working out at the gym, her workout repertoire includes Pilates classes. She’s also competed in extreme obstacle course events such as Tough Mudder and Spartan races.
While Trump’s love of a difficult physical challenge might make CrossFit training seem like her ideal workout, she was hesitant to join a CrossFit gym. “I didn’t want to be one of those CrossFit people. I was like, ‘Those CrossFit people are a little intense and a little crazy. It’s a little cult-like,” she said on “The Right View.” However, she got hooked when a friend invited her to work out at a CrossFit gym without telling her that it was a CrossFit gym.
Now, Trump often posts videos on Instagram of her high-intensity workouts with her coach, who is a professional CrossFit athlete and UFC combat instructor. Her followers can watch her flipping a heavy bag end-over-end and running downstairs while holding a mace over her head. In one post, she broke down one of her brutal workouts: “1-mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 air squats, and a 1-mile run … with a weighted vest (for most of it).”
