The reality star is currently on tour for her cabaret show and has made it a priority to stay fit while on the road.
According to the mother of two, she begins her workout with a warm-up on the treadmill then uses free weights to strengthen her arms, legs and abs. "Money can't buy you abs," she previously said on Instagram.

“I do weights for the arms because I have to wear these dresses that are sleeveless, and then the legs and then the tummy so I have my routine that I do,” de Lesseps told Life & Style. “Then I do yoga. I have a gym in my apartment — it’s fabulous and overlooks Central Park. It’s gorgeous, and I’m busy, so I think that also helps keep you in shape when you’re running around.”
She is also leading a healthier lifestyle since limiting her drinking.

She also couldn't touch alcohol or drugs during that time, needed to complete 50 hours of community service and had to attend two AA meetings per week.

“I’ve always said my journey is day by day,” the countess added.
