The Duchess is said to enjoy CrossFit, a form of high-intensity interval training that exerts enough energy to burn up to 15 calories per minute.
Many workouts feature variations of squats and weightlifting, known to help build endurance and muscles, with squats key in achieving a peachy posterior.

"Squats are a great exercise for working your lower body, and whilst typically associated with strength training, can also be a great addition to cardio training," explains Barrecore trainer Amber Johnson.
Pippa too has spoken in the past about how she maintains her fit physique, telling Waitrose Magazine that she performs four key exercises: ladders, plié squats, wall pushes and the 'classic plank', which are "quick and great for toning all over".
