Sandy Brockman, a trainer based in Texas, shared with Page Six that Ivanka lifts weights 4 times a week and includes a yoga session occasionally.
The daughter of Donald Trump consistently performs these 5 exercises during her training sessions, adjusting the weights based on her fitness objectives.
Although individual strength varies, Brockman recommends aiming to lift one's body weight. Her strength goals for clients are: 5 strict push-ups, two strict pull-ups, one bodyweight barbell back squat, one bodyweight barbell deadlift, and a 45-pound barbell overhead press.

Effects of the 5 core exercises:
Deadlifts: A compound movement that enhances multi-joint strength, starting with the weight on the ground and lifting it up before returning it to the floor, as outlined by USA Today and Stronglifts.
Back Squats: Ideal for beginners and those looking to boost power, back squats focus on the lower back, glutes, and hamstrings, contributing to strength and speed, according to Healthline.
Pull-ups: Recognized as a comprehensive upper-body workout, pull-ups engage all muscle groups, enhancing core strength, as noted by Shape.
Push-ups: A fundamental bodyweight exercise that strengthens core and muscle functions, as reported by Men’s Health.
Press: Overhead presses test strength and are effective for improving functional performance and correcting posture, particularly targeting the shoulders and upper back.
