II. Kevin Quinn’s Journey into Personal Training

Kevin begins by sharing his background, revealing that his initial aspiration was to become an NFL scout. However, circumstances led him to the fitness industry when he moved to Nashville in 2011 to support his identical twin brother, Carl, who was drafted by the Titans.

Kevin Quinn [01:08]: "I moved to Nashville in 2011. I actually wanted to be an NFL scout... but then he [the GM] suggested I check out a sports-specific gym, and that's how my journey as a personal trainer started."

His passion for personal training was fueled by positive mentorships and a desire to help others become better both physically and mentally.

III. Transition to Celebrity Training

Kristin expresses curiosity about how Kevin transitioned into training celebrities. Kevin recounts his experience working with prominent artists like Lady Antebellum, Moot Combs, and Sam Hines.

Kevin Quinn [02:12]: "I worked at the gym for four years in Franklin, Tennessee. A friend from the music industry invited me to tour with Lady Antebellum for nine months and 150 shows."

Despite the demanding schedule, Kevin highlights the importance of surrounding oneself with greatness, which not only elevates his professional skills but also enriches his personal growth.

IV. Evolution of Klug Fitness: Mobile Training Model

After seven years on the road, Kevin decided to innovate his training approach by launching Klug Fitness, a mobile personal training service. Inspired by his experiences with high-profile clientele, he invested in a van equipped with comprehensive workout gear, allowing trainers to bring the gym to clients' homes.

Kevin Quinn [04:03]: "I bought a van loaded with 700 pounds of equipment. Now, we have six vans and seven coaches, enabling us to train clients anywhere without the need for a traditional gym."

Kristin admires this model, appreciating how it eliminates the need for a home gym and offers flexibility.

Kristin Cavallari [05:09]: "So, for everyone listening, Kevin does have a really cool business model... trainers can come to your house."

V. Workout Routines for Summer Bod

Kevin outlines a typical workout session, emphasizing the importance of a dynamic warm-up followed by targeted strength training. He focuses on compound movements that engage multiple muscle groups, which are essential for building a balanced and toned physique.

Kevin Quinn [16:10]: "We start with a 10-minute dynamic warm-up, incorporating med ball tosses or sprinting to activate those fast-twitch muscles."

Kristin notes that her legs have always been her strong suit, and Kevin agrees, stressing the significance of working on the lower body.

---

VI. Building vs. Maintaining Muscle

A key discussion revolves around the differences between building and maintaining muscle. Kevin explains that while the foundational workouts remain similar, nutritional strategies adjust based on whether the goal is to gain muscle or maintain it.

Kevin Quinn [07:17]: "Gaining muscle requires a caloric surplus, whereas maintaining muscle involves staying at a calorie level that supports your current mass."

Kristin shares her personal experience with increasing protein intake and incorporating more carbs, which has significantly boosted her energy levels and workout performance.

Kristin Cavallari [24:25]: "Since we've been working out together, I've increased my weight, I've been eating more protein. I look and feel the best I ever have."

---

VII. Nutrition and Supplements

The conversation delves into the critical role of nutrition in achieving fitness goals. Kevin emphasizes the importance of adequate protein intake and introduces supplements like creatine, which aids in muscle recovery and cognitive function.

Kevin Quinn [22:58]: "Creatine helps promote lean muscle mass and improves recovery. I recommend 5 grams taken with a carb for better absorption."

Kristin admits to her struggles with consistent supplement intake but acknowledges the benefits when incorporated correctly.

---

VIII. Overcoming Gym Intimidation

Kristin opens up about the intimidation factor associated with gyms, a common concern among women. Kevin suggests mastering a few fundamental movements to build confidence.

Kevin Quinn [21:00]: "Having a set of six basic movements can make you feel more confident walking into a gym because you know what you're doing."

He encourages practicing these movements at home to establish a strong foundation before venturing into a public gym setting.

Kevin Quinn [21:09]: "Practice at home, get comfortable with six movements, and then you'll be more confident in the gym."

Kristin concurs, sharing her own fears and how focusing on basic exercises has helped her navigate gym environments more comfortably.

---

IX. Consistency and Active Lifestyle

A recurring theme is the importance of consistency in workouts and maintaining an active lifestyle beyond the gym. Kevin advises that regular activity, such as daily walks, complements workout sessions and enhances overall fitness.

Kevin Quinn [33:20]: "Being active outside your workout hours is just as important. Walking, moving, and staying active all day contribute significantly to your fitness goals."

Kristin highlights her busy lifestyle with two kids, emphasizing how dynamic daily activities like running around and walking up her steep driveway serve as additional workouts.

Kristin Cavallari [35:03]: "I'm constantly moving—making dinner, cleaning, walking the dogs. Even walking up and down my driveway with my kids counts as a good workout."

---

X. Closing Thoughts and Final Recommendations

As the episode wraps up, Kristin asks Kevin for any final advice for listeners aiming to start their fitness journey. Kevin reinforces the message of simplicity and consistency, encouraging beginners to start small and build upon their routines gradually.

Kevin Quinn [39:51]: "Start with walking, keep it simple, and learn as you go. Pick five fundamental movements and wear them out."

He also touches on the role of cardio, advocating for enjoyable forms of cardio to maintain engagement and sustainability in fitness routines.

Kevin Quinn [40:24]: "If you like cardio, do it. If not, find something you enjoy. The key is to keep moving."

Kristin and Kevin conclude by reiterating the significance of a balanced diet, consistent workouts, and an active lifestyle in achieving and maintaining a summer body.

Kristin Cavallari [38:51]: "It's give and take with diet and working out. If you enjoy the process and stay consistent, you'll see great results."

[Kristin Cavallari]

Happy Tuesday.

[Kevin Klug]

I hope everyone is doing amazing.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Today is gonna be a fun one because I have my trainer here in Nashville with me, Kevin Klug.

[Kevin Quinn]

What's up, guys?

[Kristin Cavallari]

Hey, Kristen Quinn. Get down. My dogs are obsessed with Kevin Quinn. Kick rocks.

[Kevin Quinn]

Kick rocks.

[Kristin Cavallari]

How you doing?

[Kevin Quinn]

I'm good. How you doing, Kevin?

[Kristin Cavallari]

I'm excited that you're here.

[Kevin Quinn]

Appreciate you having me.

[Kristin Cavallari]

So we've been working out together for about five years.

[Kevin Quinn]

Wow. Yeah, it's not crazy. That's come up pretty quick.

[Kristin Cavallari]

I know. And so I will say you've completely changed my body because preu. I did not understand how important heavy weight is. So we'll get to all of that, But I want to start with you. Tell everyone how you got into personal training to begin with.

[Kevin Quinn]

Well, I moved to Nashville in 2011. I actually wanted to be an NFL scout. I got done with college that year. My identical twin brother got drafted by the Titans, which is why I moved here. I was going to move wherever he went, and I wanted to watch him play football. So I actually sat down with the GM at the time and I said, hey, I want to be a scout. He's like, well, we can't hire you because, you know, the family thing. If we were to cut Carl, you know, would we cut you as a player? You know what I mean? But he's like, you should check out this gym. It's a sports specific gym, and I want to go knock on their door. And a month later, they hired me. And that's kind of how my journey as a personal trainer started.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Oh, my gosh. So from there, you just worked your way up?

[Kevin Quinn]

Yeah, pretty much. You know, and also being an athlete growing up, I had a lot of good mentors in the weight room and as a coach. So, you know, they were so good to me and maybe a better human being, not just on the football field, but as a better human being. And I think that's what drove me to want to pursue personal training as well. So.

[Kristin Cavallari]

So let's just name drop, because you are the opposite of name dropping, which I love so much about you. But my. My people do care. They want to know. And I am curious how you then broke into celebrity training.

[Kevin Quinn]

Yeah, so the question, so how did I get into The. Yeah, one of the name drops.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Let's name drop. Yeah, I can do it for you. Whatever you want.

[Kevin Quinn]

Well, yeah, so, I mean, I worked at the gym for four years. Local was Franklin, Tennessee. I had a buddy who worked in the music industry. We ended up being roommates. He came to me and he said, hey, do you want to go on a road with Lady Antebellum? I'm not a country music fan. I love them, but I had to Google them, like. Like, you know, and it was so funny because, you know, Hillary, she's like, do you know anything about this world? I'm like, not at all. I said, I don't know. You guys travel with, like, one semi. And she's like. She was laughing and she's like, try 14 semis and 14 trucks. And it was a nine months tour. 150 shows. My first tour ever.

[Kristin Cavallari]

And you went on the whole thing all nine months?

[Kevin Quinn]

Well, it was weekend warrior. So Wednesday, Wednesday to Sunday is when I would tour then. And, you know, I'd come home and work a condensed week.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Wow.

[Kevin Quinn]

I did that for seven years.

[Kristin Cavallari]

That's exhausting.

[Kevin Quinn]

Yes. I was very. That whole chapter of my life was needed, and I'm glad I did. So many layers to that. Yeah, I needed to do that because, honestly, being around people who are great at what they do, being around that only elevates you to be, you know, good at what you do. You know what I mean?

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah. Road life is really tough. So you did it with Lady A. You've been on the road with Moot Combs.

[Kevin Quinn]

Yeah.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Sam Hines.

[Kevin Quinn]

There's the name drop. Name drop, yeah. So I did two years with each of them.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Okay.

[Kevin Quinn]

And, yeah, they were all great. They. You know, the biggest thing is when my wife came on tour, they were all very supportive of that and just, like, very welcoming to that, because I think that's a big part of it, too, to where, if she comes out there, you know, you want that. You want the environment to be family, wealthy, and they all are so great people.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah, that's great. So you got burnt out on road life, so then you decided you're just gonna launch your own business here?

[Kevin Quinn]

Well, yeah. So in 2016, it was my last run with Lady A. I sat down with Hillary and Slim at lunch two different times. They're like, you need a. You need to buy a van and do this in Nashville. Basically how you train us. Like, we go to each city and just find a flat piece of concrete. Just buy a van and do it in Nashville. I thought they were crazy. But then I realized in myself, I'm like, I don't want to go back to the gym. I just. Being outside is terrific. You know, I'm able to do my kind of own thing. And that's how it did start, is I bought a van. It actually is my 2000 Buick century as a car. Loaded it up with weights, 700 pounds of equipment. It looked like it was gonna pop the tire.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Oh, my God.

[Kevin Quinn]

Yeah, I did three months of that, and I realized I need to buy a van so I could put a squat rack and heavier stuff to accommodate how we train.

[Kristin Cavallari]

So, okay, so for everyone listening, Kevin does have a really cool business model, because what you do is. Yeah. You have these vans. How many you have now? Six.

[Kevin Quinn]

Six vans, seven coaches. Yeah.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Okay. So. And what they do is all of these trainers with these vans of equipment can come to your house. So you don't need a gym in your house to work out with the Klug team, essentially, which is awesome.

[Kevin Quinn]

And I think the common question. I get number one of two things. Klug or Klug.

[Kristin Cavallari]

I know. Yeah. Am I saying it right?

[Kevin Quinn]

What is it?

[Kristin Cavallari]

Well, now I'm holding my back.

[Kevin Quinn]

No, it's. It's. It's clued.

[Kristin Cavallari]

I'm just saying it right. Rough shit.

[Kevin Quinn]

It's clued. Now, Justin said plug. I'm like, what?

[Kristin Cavallari]

Excuse. But that's like Cavalieri and Cavalieri. I feel your pain.

[Kevin Quinn]

I get it.

[Kristin Cavallari]

I feel your pain.

[Kevin Quinn]

I get it. No, but a lot of people, you know, with the van usage, they're always saying it's. I don't get it. Like, you go in the van, is this squat rack. Stay in there.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Oh, that's funny.

[Kevin Quinn]

We take everything out. So we're training outside in the elements.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah.

[Kevin Quinn]

You know, rain or shine, or at least in the garage if we need to. But, yeah.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Which sometimes can be a little tricky. In Nashville, it gets really cold sometimes in the winter and really hot in the summer.

[Kevin Quinn]

So I encourage you a few times. I know you had a nice home gym, you know, in the spring or fall time, like, hey, let's get outside and go do the thing.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Which is. It is nice to be outside and work out.

[Kevin Quinn]

I will say, well, it just takes a little mental strength, you know, when it's not so perfect out to actually get outside. But I know for a fact you'd never regret it when you have stepped outside and you come back and you're like, you know what? Empower.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Well, and give me some credit, because this past winter, with My workout equipment being in my barn.

[Kevin Quinn]

Yes.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Oh yeah, I would be in there. And a jacket and gloves and a beanie doing the damn thing.

[Kevin Quinn]

That's right. And no excuses on your end. I appreciate that about you. To where you know, you came from. A nice state of the art home gym and now we're in like a dusty.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah, my horn is just coming. I did leaf blow it. I just want you to know, last time you were giving me shit.

[Kevin Quinn]

I'm good with whatever.

[Kristin Cavallari]

When shall you see it?

[Kevin Klug]

Thursday.

[Kristin Cavallari]

It's clean. It's immaculate.

[Kevin Quinn]

Yeah. No, I do tip my hat to you because it does take mental power to actually step out in the elements a little bit to get it done.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah, it does. But yeah, you're right. You always feel so good afterwards. You're happy, you get it done. Okay, let's talk about summer bodies because obviously summer is quickly approaching, which I'm very excited for. And everyone right now feels like it's hitting the gym harder, eating really well, trying to get everything tight for the summer. So I want to talk about leaning up and building muscle specifically. So is building muscle different than maintaining muscle? Do they look different?

[Kevin Quinn]

As far as the gym goes for nutrition wise, yes. In the weight room we still need to get stronger on the main lifts and we still need effort, we still need intensity no matter really what your goal is. So that's kind of the foundation is to keep it simple enough to where we can repeat some movements and get stronger at them. But as far as, you know, gaining muscle or maintaining that can kind of come down with the nutrition part of are you in a caloric surplus or are you, you know, staying level to maintain?

[Kristin Cavallari]

But oh, so okay, so no matter what you're doing, the gym essentially looks.

[Kevin Quinn]

The same for the most part. I mean, I might add some volume, I might do some more bodybuilding type of stuff if we need to or some people just like the athletic stuff. So really, you know, what's happening in the weight room a little bit is on the client of like what they enjoy as well because I try to accommodate that too. But yeah, as far as gain, it takes so much work to, to gain bulk up. Like immense work. Most people don't understand.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Well, I can tell you from experience of eating way too much food, that is what it takes is just upping the calories.

[Kevin Quinn]

Yeah. So I mean, yeah. But for the most part, whatever your goal is, we still need to get, you know, we're going to work on mobility, the core. But you know, there's got to be some Repeat exercises we do do to get stronger at it. I still am a huge believer of sprinting. Just the. The twitch muscles. I always say, look at a track athlete, like, why do we sprint? Look at a track athlete, like, what do they look like? They look twitchy. The wiry, lean and thin. Right.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah.

[Kevin Quinn]

Most people want that look. So we're going to implement plyometrics jumping and sprinting as well. So.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Okay. I was going to ask you about that because I had no idea before I started working out with you about this, the fast twitch stuff. So sprinting, is that like a box jumping, all that kind of stuff?

[Kevin Quinn]

Plyometrics jumping, yeah. They kind of go hand in hand, though, because for some people, they don't have the strength to actually create that velocity to actually sprint. Right. Some people are born with it, some people aren't. But. So if you're a good sprinter, it'll make you better in the weight room. If you are a strong athlete, you'll likely be able to sprint a little bit better than someone who's weak.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Okay, that makes sense.

[Kevin Quinn]

So I still like to have everybody, if they're able to taste all of.

[Kristin Cavallari]

It, you know, and the whole point of the sprinting and all that is because it creates lean muscle.

[Kevin Quinn]

Correct. You know, just tapping into that. The fast twitch muscles.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Right, right.

[Kevin Quinn]

And you know, because a lot of times, I'll be honest, and I'm not picking on you.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah.

[Kevin Quinn]

When I first had you, I noticed you were at a bit, I always told you, a very methodical pace.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah.

[Kevin Quinn]

We do like a set of 12. I'm like, can we move just a little bit fast? Like, yeah, time and place, want to move fast. But, like, there's times where I would ask you to move fast and you just really haven't tapped into that, to my knowledge at least.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Well, and I've worked with multiple trainers in my day. And yeah, it the difference between the other trainers, that and this, again, it's not a knock on them. It's just different working out with you where it is the heavier weight and. Yeah, like moving in the gym before, it's like a gab session, you know.

[Kevin Klug]

Like, let's just kind of shoot the.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Shit and hang out. Where you're like, no, we're hitting down to business. And that is the other thing with the heavy weight is. Okay, so for someone who is just at home and working out on their own every week, so let's say you're doing squats and rows, you know, should you be trying to increase the weight every Single week or what does that look like?

[Kevin Quinn]

Improvement or progress doesn't always mean heavier weight.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Okay.

[Kevin Quinn]

It can be maybe less rest time. It can be maybe adding another set. It could be maybe adding another rep or two. So sets and sets and reps, total volume. You could be angry or cutting rest time or a lot of times my eyes see that you're moving it faster. Good enough. I like that. Right. So there's some measurements I follow. That isn't only weight. You don't love lifting Heavy, heavy. Right. So I gotta microdose, like pick and choose when to do it. Right.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Okay. Right.

[Kevin Quinn]

And as you know, the whole session isn't heavy lifting.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Right?

[Kevin Quinn]

Right. So if we do a warm up and then the next block is maybe sprinting and then it's like next block is heavy lifting and then we start getting lighter.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah.

[Kevin Quinn]

So it's a quick dose of heavy lifting, not the whole thing. Because we don't want you moving slow either. Right.

[Kevin Klug]

[Kristin Cavallari]

Okay, so walk us through a typical workout that we do.

[Kevin Quinn]

What does that look like generically speaking? Right. Enable kind of using you for an example. It's a 10 minute dynamic warmup. We'll get into either some med ball tosses or some sort of sprinting. Something that, like that, that twitchiness. Right. After that I'll give you a main movement, single leg or. Or a back squat. Typically a leg movement. I like to see that just because it's the biggest muscle group and you know, most women want to work their lower half. Right?

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah.

[Kevin Quinn]

And it's going to be the hardest thing you do in the workout. So I want that at the beginning. Right. I need fresh. Okay with you. Likely I'll do a leg movement, a jumping movement and then a maybe like a back movement. So an upper body pull because you're fresh on that. The next block would be potentially a single leg movement that's lighter. So instead of working a set of five, we're maybe working a set of 12.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Okay.

[Kevin Quinn]

Something that's not so physically demanding, but you can still isolate and work the legs. Right.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Like a Bulgarian split squat.

[Kevin Quinn]

Yeah, yeah. Something along those lines. Single leg movement. And then, you know, I might throw in upper body and core movement so you still get three movements in that block. And then we'll.

[Kristin Cavallari]

And I do each four times.

[Kevin Quinn]

Three. Four. Yeah. It really depends where they're at. Like you know, some, some people might do five sets, but. And then if we have time, which we normally do, work on what we need to work on. Mobility or you know, work on shoulders, back, whatever. We gotta work. It's really dependent on the client side.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Okay. Okay. Well, you mentioned women like to work on their booties. I mean lower body. They can all just say booties. Booties and abs. Okay. So when it comes to abs though, you don't crush me with abs. Like we do them, but it's not as much as I think people would think.

[Kevin Quinn]

Correct. We don't do a ton of sit ups. We don't laying on the ground and flapping our l. You know.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah. Why is that?

[Kevin Quinn]

60 Minutes goes quick.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah.

[Kevin Quinn]

I want to work on the stuff that will change your body composition. Not saying that abs won't, but I mean let's work the biggest muscle groups while we have time for it. The stuff I like for working your core is, you know, a suitcase carrying hold a heavy weight.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Right.

[Kevin Quinn]

Instead of letting that weight take you here, now you're working here. Or a weighted plank. Right. We'll do some of that stuff where I move you a little bit. Bear crawling. I love that.

[Kristin Cavallari]

You love a bear.

[Kevin Quinn]

Oh yeah.

[Kristin Cavallari]

They're caring as.

[Kevin Quinn]

Cause you know that also works mobility. So you're getting the. The core strength and mobility at the same time. Yeah. I mean there, there's a lot more to do in a 60 minute period than.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Than just.

[Kevin Quinn]

Absolutely. Yeah.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah.

[Kevin Quinn]

Cause I know you can do that on your own time too.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Oh, is that kind of.

[Kevin Quinn]

Why A little bit, yeah.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Oh, okay.

[Kevin Quinn]

I want to create an environment to where you willing to do it on your own. Right?

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah.

[Kevin Quinn]

Working your legs hard.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah.

[Kevin Quinn]

You likely. I mean. Okay.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah. Well you trust me then. You do between my house.

[Kevin Quinn]

I do. I do give you props because you do work out on your own quite a bit.

[Kristin Cavallari]

And I push myself. Not as hard as you push me, but I do push myself.

[Kevin Quinn]

Right?

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah. Right. Yeah. Okay, that's interesting. And then what about for building a booty? What is. What are some of the best moves for building booties?

[Kevin Quinn]

Kind of same rules apply. You know, let's. Let's look at the, the lower, you know, the leg movements, back squat, front squat, gaba squat, single leg movements, Bulgarians just. You need the intensity and you need volume on that. Right.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Okay.

[Kevin Quinn]

I'm going to try to just disregard that. It depends because it depends for each client.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Of course.

[Kevin Quinn]

You know, I'm saying. But if I just speak freely here. Yeah. I'd say three to four main movements that you're good at and just wear those suckers out. Okay.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Right. I think because you're not on TikTok, which I love. But being on TikTok, it's like you see all these new workout moves.

[Kevin Quinn]

Yeah.

[Kristin Cavallari]

And what I love about you is, like, the basics will take you really far. You actually don't need all these fancy moves.

[Kevin Quinn]

Well, I try to give you the meat and potatoes for 45 minutes, and then I'll try to throw some cutesy, fartsy stuff back to you, just like keep you engaged. So we're not doing this. So, like, the little bit of novelty at the end of a workout or whenever is gives you excited a little bit.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah, it does. Yeah. Yeah. And I mean, I enjoy getting a new boo from time to time, but.

[Kevin Klug]

Like, even when I work out on.

[Kristin Cavallari]

My own, I have probably for. If we're thinking like lower body, probably four to five moves that are my go tos.

[Kevin Quinn]

Well, that's it. Because, you know, my thing with any client I work with, if they go to a gym, they all travel. If they go to a gym on their own, I want them to look forward to seeing a gym. And because we do keep it simple enough, you kind of know exactly what to go do when you get there. If I were to be all over the place with 80 different movements. Right. Well, Kevin's not here. I don't really know what to do, so I try to keep it simple enough. That way you can also get good at it.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Right, right.

[Kevin Quinn]

Yeah.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Well, going to a gym is intimidating. I don't. I haven't gone to an actual gym in years except for when I travel. And like, I was just in Miami with another one of your clients, Kaitlyn Bristow, and we went to the gym at the one hotel. It's huge. It's nice. It's always packed. Gyms are intimidating. I don't care what anybody says, and especially I work out and I still get intimidated. How can we sort of break that for women? Like, is that the key is just have six to seven moves you're really comfortable with so that you're confident walking into a gym knowing what you're doing, keeping it simple.

[Kevin Quinn]

Yes. But I also think you got to do it on your own a little bit before you just walk into there. Because, like, if something's never been in there, like, just do six movements, you know, so you got to have some sort of foundation before you get in it.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Like by practicing at your house. Yeah, okay.

[Kevin Quinn]

But yeah, I mean, you know, and for the ones that are at home, like, what should I do if I don't know what to do? Start with a movement. Like a Dynamic warmup. If you don't know what a dynamic, warm blizz like, you know, go Google it.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah, that's the thing. It's like with YouTube and stuff now, you can find pretty much anything. Yeah, it just. Well, and even your Instagram, you post workouts and stuff, which is.

[Kevin Quinn]

I could be better at it. Yeah. We have a. A team of guys and I try to get all of us involved in it. We all kind of don't really love doing it. We're not defined as the influencers of the world. But I mean, yeah, we'll share, you know, client workouts. If you take a feed at what they're doing, you could probably replicate some.

[Kristin Cavallari]

You kind of figure it out. What are some? Just basic moves that everyone can be doing.

[Kevin Quinn]

Like a back squat. I'll say a squat. Right. Because a back squat might not fit for everybody. A goblet squat, you know, people, tight hips and ankles. Goblet squat can keep you upright more. So I'll say a squat, a hinge. Right.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Which is like one.

[Kevin Quinn]

Which is an rdl.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Okay.

[Kevin Quinn]

Single leg rdl. A glute bridge. Single leg work.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Bulgarian sports.

[Kevin Quinn]

Yeah, I don't want to get too worried here, you know, but.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Well, and you guys can write these down and then Google them.

[Kevin Quinn]

Right on. Yeah. So then like. And then a press movement. A push movement. So it could be overhead, it could be bench press, or it could be a row movement.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Right, okay.

[Kevin Quinn]

Could be a horizontal row or it could be like a pull up vertical.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah. You know, so just doing full body. Oh, you love pull ups too.

[Kevin Quinn]

Yep.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Or. Or then you can start with a supported.

[Kevin Quinn]

That's right. You could throw a band. If you don't add your band, you can at least try to do a negative where you jump above the bar and slowly, slowly cut yourself down.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Those are all great ones for people to do. And then if you are trying to build, slash, maintain muscle, what are good supplements that can help with that? Creatine.

[Kevin Quinn]

Creatine. I'm a big believer in even women. Just helps promote lean muscle mass. It helps with recovery, cognitive function, all that stuff. So the 5 grams or milligrams. I forget what the.

[Kristin Cavallari]

I think I. I have a little pouch that's 5 milligrams.

[Kevin Quinn]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So really? And they want you to take it with a car because it just helps absorb a little bit more.

[Kristin Cavallari]

You've told me that so many times and I still don't do that. I do it after a workout. Is that okay?

[Kevin Quinn]

If you're doing it with a carb. To my knowledge, that's the best way to do it.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Okay. I need to.

[Kevin Quinn]

With a carb.

[Kristin Cavallari]

So it doesn't. Because I've heard before a workout, I've heard after. It doesn't really matter.

[Kevin Quinn]

The timing to me doesn't matter. It's more about doing it with the carbon so the absorption is better.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Okay, I need to start doing that.

[Kevin Quinn]

Yeah.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Okay. And then ample amounts of protein.

[Kevin Quinn]

Protein. If you can get it. You know, speaking to my clients. If I can get my clients on the. The meal prep train just to prep some sort of meal so they're not going out to eat. But, yeah, I think most of America's undereating on protein. You know, if you think you're. You're overeating on it, you're probably not.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah.

[Kevin Quinn]

So the safe bet is just really. And gas that protein.

[Kristin Cavallari]

So instead of two eggs in the morning, do three. Like, just easy little ways you can incorporate.

[Kevin Quinn]

And honestly, why not try four to five?

[Kristin Cavallari]

Like, I know I was doing that for a minute. It becomes a whopping no.

[Kevin Quinn]

It was a lot of them. Back off a little bit.

[Kristin Cavallari]

I was like, it's a lot of food. Also, what I love about you is. And you just said it, you're not afraid of carbs. You've actually encouraged me to eat more carbs. And I will tell you, I have way more energy in the gym. And you can get after it a lot more when you're incorporating carbs.

[Kevin Quinn]

And how do you. And how do you feel?

[Kristin Cavallari]

And I feel great. Yeah.

[Kevin Klug]

I mean, you really.

[Kristin Cavallari]

You've changed. So since we've been working out together, I've increased my weight, I've been eating more protein. I'm eating carbs again. I look and feel the best I ever have. You can smile, you can say whatever you want on this podcast. Coming kick ass.

[Kevin Quinn]

Hell yeah. I mean, but really, though, like, that's why we do it. I get excited when I hear all that because I get it as well. I don't get it because I'm not a female. But. But, you know, I think women, they're afraid to maybe overeat on the good stuff because they feel like they could get bald year. You know, they get so dialed in on the. The scale at the least. Right. But like, you know, muscle is a win.

[Kristin Cavallari]

You want muscle, and it weighs more than fat.

[Kevin Quinn]

Sure does. And we've all seen that picture floating around the Internet by now, right? The. Oh, was it the five pounds of muscle versus five pounds of fat? Whatever yeah, yeah. You tell me which one you want.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah, exactly. Oh, right. Like how big the fat is compared to. Yeah, exactly.

[Kevin Quinn]

So the scale might go up a little bit, but you know, you're probably losing some size.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, that's the thing. If you're consistent in the gym, you can eat a lot of food. If you are eating good quality food.

[Kevin Quinn]

Yeah.

[Kristin Cavallari]

And I think there's a misconception about that.

[Kevin Quinn]

Well, and back to the lifting part. You know, we talk about heavy lifting again, we're not going 45 minutes of heavy lift.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Right.

[Kevin Quinn]

We're going one block of heavy lifting, and then we find the intensity a little bit lighter weight. We true working.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Okay, that's true. The difference is, before you and I used to work out, I would do, let's say, a Bulgarian split squat. I don't know why I keep replicating this move.

[Kevin Quinn]

I do it a lot.

[Kristin Cavallari]

I've said it every time.

[Kevin Quinn]

Big, big guy.

[Kristin Cavallari]

But like, I would do 10 to 15 pounds.

[Kevin Quinn]

Yeah.

[Kevin Klug]

And then I think the first time.

[Kristin Cavallari]

You and I ever worked out, I think you gave me a 25 and I was like, what the fuck? But now, even when I work out on my own, I'm going 20, 25, 30, somewhere in there. And so to me, that is heavier.

[Kevin Klug]

Than I had ever done before.

[Kristin Cavallari]

It is pushing myself a lot of times.

[Kevin Quinn]

I see you weren't like the first time I ever worked out, trained you. I'd see you do a dynamic warm up and then the next, I forget what we did. But the next thing I did, I could tell your ability was at least a 20 to 25 out of the gap.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah. I wasn't pushing myself like I could have been. Yeah, yeah.

[Kevin Quinn]

And it was an organ, that methodical pace of 10 pound day.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah.

[Kevin Quinn]

So. So, you know, so. And you know, this isn't my plug to hire a trainer, but at the end of the day, you know, I hired a business coach because I wanted to find a different gear in business. So, you know, I think sometimes you just need to find a different gear with whatever you're doing.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah, right, exactly. Change it up a little bit.

[Kevin Klug]

Okay, let's talk about jolie. I can't even begin to imagine all of the money that I've spent on beauty products over the years to battle issues like acne, damaged hair, change in hair color, rashes. But I just recently realized that I was completely overlooking the most fundamental step. You guys, the water I shower in.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Well, and then to go back to kind of okay, if you're trying to lean up, build muscle, another thing is probably limiting or completely removing alcohol. We talk about this a lot. You're not a big drinker. I'm really not.

[Kevin Klug]

I mean I get after it from.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Time to time, but for the most part like neither one of us are drinking.

[Kevin Quinn]

Alcohol is poison, right? Yeah, it jacks up your sleep recovery building muscle. It jacks that up. I am not the one to necessarily. I don't attack the alcohol thing first with any client because we're all adults. You do what you want to do on that. What I typically my approach is try to find healthy habits to add because eventually if you start getting healthy habits throughout, you'll probably voluntarily get rid of alcohol because you don't like how it makes you feel. We are focused on other stuff that always has addressing alcohol. But to your point, yes, I don't drink much at all. I feel way better.

[Kristin Cavallari]

I mean and same with me. And then when I do drink, I'm like, God, I feel like shit. It's just not even worth it, really. It's not worth it. And then another thing, I was kind of surprised because I was always. Well, I'm probably because I wasn't working out as hard as I could have, but I was like, you have to work out five days a week. But I have gotten way more lax about that. And even you, you work out what, three times a week?

[Kevin Quinn]

Three times a week. There's some weeks being a business owner to end with it being a dad twice a week, St. John's in the car. But it's two to four times a week is what I.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Okay.

[Kevin Quinn]

I'm after typically.

[Kristin Cavallari]

And is that what you tell most of your clients to do?

[Kevin Quinn]

I think three is the magic number. If you're able to people who work directly with me, three, you know, because I'm coming to their house or an income to me, whichever it is. Yeah, we try to go three a week. I do two to four. But if you're in that neck of the woods. But here's the biggest thing is what are you doing outside of those hours? Right. I go on walks every, every night with my wife and kids. And how many steps, how many, how, how active are you outside of that workout matters just as much as what you're doing in that hour.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Okay, that makes sense, right? If you're sitting on your ass the whole day, every day, except for like the two hours that you work out, you're gonna.

[Kevin Quinn]

Yeah, it's gonna be tough to. To move the needle a little bit.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Is it okay to do full body every time you work out?

[Kevin Quinn]

Yeah. Really? Kind of client preference, Right.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Okay.

[Kevin Quinn]

I like full body because it just keeps me a little bit more engaged. I feel like I'm not just burning up. One bodyguard, right?

[Kristin Cavallari]

What is the point of just doing arm or. Well, it's not even arms. It's like chest and buys one day.

[Kevin Quinn]

Well, that's a little bit bodybuilding stuff, right?

[Kristin Cavallari]

Oh, is it?

[Kevin Quinn]

Okay, so and so if I were to do a four day program, it'd be likely lower upper Wednesdays off Thursday Fridays, lower upper again. Right.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Okay.

[Kevin Quinn]

But you know, the point of that is you can just get a little bit more volume on the body parts. Right. And maybe people just prefer that style.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Right, Got it.

[Kevin Quinn]

Because when you go four days a week, it can probably bring the intensity down a smidge at some part of that workout. But if you go three days a week, which I like is full body, you just kind of, you know, let it rip for.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah.

[Kevin Quinn]

And you're sitting everything.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Okay.

[Kevin Quinn]

I do like that for me, that makes sense.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah, yeah, I try to do. I say four to five times a week, but really, I usually only work out four. Four times a week, I would say.

[Kevin Quinn]

And then let me ask you because I think I know this, but outside of those four days a week, what are you doing? Are you walking or you, you know.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Well, I think I'm active. Just period, end of story. I don't know how to just sit on my couch. Like, I don't watch tv. I don't, you know, and with three kids, I mean, you've got two kids, you know, like, it's just busy. We're always running around. I would say I am in my car a lot though, with my kids. I'm basically just a fucking Uber driver at this age with my kids. So I am sitting, I guess in the car, but when I'm home, I'm like making dinner, I'm cleaning the kitchen. I'm like doing the laundry. Laundry. Like, I'm constantly moving. I do like to walk up and down my driveway too. Take the dogs.

[Kevin Quinn]

Yeah, nice driveway.

[Kristin Cavallari]

My driveway is really steep and really long, so that's a good workout.

[Kevin Quinn]

You ever throw a backpack on or just.

[Kristin Cavallari]

No, but I should. Hunter.

[Kevin Quinn]

I'd consider it.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah, good idea. Sometimes my off days, I'll just walk up and down it twice.

[Kevin Quinn]

Yeah, that's Good.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Takes me 30 minutes.

[Kevin Quinn]

Yeah, 30 minutes is great.

[Kristin Cavallari]

There you go.

[Kevin Quinn]

I'm in the 30 to probably 40 minute range for walks, depending if my boy wants to run off.

[Kristin Cavallari]

And I know, I know that's you're in that phase too, where it's like, let's just get out of the house and go for a walk.

[Kevin Quinn]

Me too.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Every night. Like, I just need something to do.

[Kevin Quinn]

Yeah, this one in a three year old, it feels. Tend to feel like a hamster wheel just repeating the same day, which is fine. I love it, you know.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah, it's that, it's that phase that you're in.

[Kevin Quinn]

Yeah.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Okay, let's talk. So I will periodically ask my Instagram followers just what they want to talk about. Questions. And a lot of people wanted to know about my body on my podcast tour and I, I saved it because I thought it would be good to talk about with you. So I was thinking we could talk about like the two months leading up to it. So January, I basically gave up alcohol, which, you know, we just talked about. That's always an important thing. But as far as the gym goes, let's talk about workouts the two months leading up to the podcast tour that we did.

[Kevin Quinn]

Yeah, I don't think really changed a whole lot.

[Kristin Cavallari]

We didn't.

[Kevin Quinn]

Yeah, he just. I think it was just the. No, alcohol is a huge thing. I think the protein went up a little bit. But the consistency of you being active outside of our sessions, you know, I wouldn't say you increase the intensity because when you do come in, you always.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Sometimes I bitch a little bit, but.

[Kevin Quinn]

But you kind of put that.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah, I do. Get it done.

[Kevin Quinn]

Do that for one minute and then you're off.

[Kristin Cavallari]

All right.

[Kevin Quinn]

I'm not gonna stay here forever and do that, you know, so. Yeah, I mean, yeah, we didn't really change a whole lot. You know, back to kind of what we do, that warm up and then we do, you know, some sprints, and then we just. We got really aggressive on the. The next three blocks of two leg movements and probably two upper movements. And.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah, it wasn't like we were like, let's really focus on my glutes and my hamstrings. It's just kind of what we always do. I would say my legs have always been, like, my best feature, so it's just like, enhancing that.

[Kevin Quinn]

Well, listen to. Because, you know, people ask me about you. Right.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah.

[Kevin Quinn]

And, you know, you had a great foundation before I started with you. I'm not going to take any credit for it.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Well, thanks. It's. My body's not a lot better.

[Kevin Quinn]

I'll get right here for that. I always tell people I'm just the steering wheel and you're the gas pedal. Right. I just lead the ship. And you. I verbally ask you to gas in. I don't need to know. But you do, though, you know, and that's. Yeah, that's. That's all us coaches can ever ask for is we steer and you just gas it.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Kevin Quinn]

Well.

[Kristin Cavallari]

And I think consistency is the most important thing when it comes to the gym.

[Kevin Quinn]

Couldn't agree more. Yeah, I know. You know, there's that thing saying of the intensity. Doesn't always have to be so peaked out, but if you are hitting the gym consistently two to four days a week, with being active outside, whether it's walking or whatever you enjoy doing, you're probably gonna be pretty happy with what you're doing.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah.

[Kevin Quinn]

As long as you're taking care of the protein.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah, right. No, exactly. Because I think, like, in my early 20s, if I had a bad week, like, if I only worked out one day a week, I'd be like, oh, whenever. Screw it. And then everything else falls, you know, so instead of having that mentality, it's like, okay, whatever. At least I worked out one time a week. But next week we'll get after it.

[Kevin Quinn]

You know, I've been guilty of that to where? You know, if I only worked out twice a week. That ice cream at night is a little bit more convincing.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Exactly. It's so true.

[Kevin Quinn]

But would you are even, let's say two to four days a week. If you can be consistent, it's kind of keeping you accountable at nighttime, not due to paying snaps all the time. Right?

[Kristin Cavallari]

It's so true. Yeah, it is very true. Well, and they both go hand in hand because even then, when it comes to your diet, like I have, I get these delivery croissants to my house every month.

[Kevin Quinn]

Nice.

[Kristin Cavallari]

I know. My kids love. I know. But occasionally I will have one. But it's not like, again, back in the day, if I had one, I'd be like, well, then fuck it.

[Kevin Klug]

Everything.

[Kristin Cavallari]

I'm eating everything. But it's more just. I look at it sort of like as a bank account or like, okay, if you have a croissant, that's fine. Then maybe you have a salad for lunch. You know what I mean? So it's like you give and take. It's give and take with diet and working out.

[Kevin Quinn]

I think it's important, you know, if you have a croissant not to. To just crucify yourself about and just, hey, if you enjoy the croissant, have.

[Kristin Cavallari]

It, that's worth it.

[Kevin Quinn]

But. But then if you back to like, if you are meal prepping or at least you're aware of the protein intake, have your croissant, but get on the protein track basically right after it, you.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Know, I will say I'll do it with breakfast, but I'll still eat eggs.

[Kevin Quinn]

Good. I mean, yeah, I'm all balanced. Yeah. I mean, if a croissant, like you don't do any alcohol, croissants, the worst thing on your menu.

[Kristin Cavallari]

And it brings me happiness.

[Kevin Quinn]

That's right. You gotta. You know, I gave up coffee. I think it was like two years ago for Lent. The 40 day thing, right?

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah.

[Kevin Quinn]

Yeah. I was brutal. I was kind of an a hole for about the first three days. And I'm like, you know what? Coffee makes me happy. I know I'm gonna find something else next year. I'm gonna keep coffee in my life.

[Kristin Cavallari]

You know, that's how I feel too. Coffee. I know. It brings me joy. Well, Kevin, this has been amazing. Is there anything else that you feel like you should tell my listeners for the gym supplements, diet?

[Kevin Quinn]

I think you Know for the. What should I do to get started? You know? Yeah, I would say just start with walking. Just keep it simple. If you are going to the weight room, you know, if you have to google a warm up, go do that, you know, but just a lot of times if you get into the. The gym and you do a warmup, you're not going to leave after the warmup. Just. That's the hardest part is getting there, so.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Right.

[Kevin Quinn]

But you can just stay consistent on that part. You'll be all right. It doesn't need being crazy, but just learn as you go. And for the beginners, just pick five movements and. Yeah, wear that up.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Okay.

[Kevin Quinn]

So keep it simple.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Oh, and then what do you think about cardio?

[Kevin Quinn]

If you like it, do it. If you don't still do it.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Right.

[Kevin Quinn]

Just mind find something you like. I mean, my cardio can come from a bike, an assault bike. I don't love doing it, but like, I'll do, I don't know, I mix it up quite a bit.

[Kristin Cavallari]

But how do you Stairmaster?

[Kevin Quinn]

Yeah. Yeah. I'll do a 10 second sprint on a bike and take a minute break. I'll be like, oh.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Which by the way, it's so hard.

[Kevin Quinn]

It is hard.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Your bike is.

[Kevin Quinn]

I want to fomo.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah, it's a minute. I want to die.

[Kevin Quinn]

Yeah. I like jumping rope. That's a pretty easy one for, you.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Know, unless you've got kids and then you pee in your pants. I'm always like, kevin, I'm gonna pee.

[Kevin Quinn]

I'm peeing across every end. Yeah, that's a. Whatever. Yeah.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Oh, yeah. It's such a real thing for moms. Okay, that helps. So how often should we be doing cardio then too?

[Kevin Quinn]

Let's classify. I hate putting the walking in as cardio, but it's a form of moving. Right. You know, it should. Walking should be every day.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Really?

[Kevin Quinn]

Walking should be every day. Yes. Use your legs. That's why God gave it to you know what I mean? Like using dang legs.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Right. I really want you to take the weekends off. The weekends. I get to be lazy.

[Kevin Quinn]

The thing is, if you, if you're not walking because you're doing something else, whatever. You know what I mean? Like, it doesn't have to be that serious. Yeah, I'm going to, you know, if you're working with me again, I'm going to, you know, ask that.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Yeah.

[Kevin Quinn]

So.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Okay. That makes sense. Yeah. Just having an active lifestyle.

[Kevin Quinn]

Yeah. And honestly, people don't get outside enough. I know that's a very blanket general statement, but like people don't get outside. Like, everyone's on their phones. That's why I'm a huge believer. At least walking.

[Kristin Cavallari]

Get outside and leave your phone inside.

[Kevin Quinn]

I never walk on my phone.

[Kristin Cavallari]

I love that.

[Kevin Quinn]

I think there was one time where I did it in the last, like, I don't know, year or something and I hated it because it just felt like it was, you know. Yep. It's just right there feeling.

[Kristin Cavallari]

I know. No, I love being able to sleeve my phone. Okay, amazing. Well, tell everyone where they can find you or the team.
