13 moves Kendall Jenner does to get the body she has now
It should come as no surprise that Kendall Jenner actually works out to maintain her figure, but a telling post on her app suggests her at-home fitness routine is even simpler than you'd expect - you know, when she's not working out with her personal trainer Gunnar Peterson to ready her body for the Victoria's Secret catwalk.
Here's the workout Jenner performs when she doesn't feel like leaving her house or finds herself someplace fancy without access to a gym. Warning: Every move will make your abs want to cry.
Oh, and in case you need to emotionally prepare yourself for torture, know that it won't last long: The model says it only takes her a reasonable 11 minutes to knock out the entire circuit.
