Speaking on Reddit, she admitted: "My guilty confession is that there isn't [a routine]! In my mind, there is absolutely one. I think I stay in shape with an active (read, exhausting!) lifestyle. My fitness is really sporadic. I have to thank my mum for good genes as I am tiny, just like her."

Given that Kylie likes to be low-key with her workouts and doesn't overdo it, Pilates is a great choice.
