Kate Middleton has the kind of slender figure many women would kill to have -- and considering how fantastic she looks just a few weeks after giving birth to her second baby, we're even more impressed than usual. But the Duchess of Cambridge has her own personal body and fitness goals -- and has reportedly hired her sister Pippa as her personal trainer because she wants to tone up and gain muscle.
Kate, 33, has her pick when it comes to fitness trainers. She could get on the phone and dial any one of the many celeb trainers out there — from Tracy Anderson to Mary Helen Bowers — and I bet they'd be at her doorstep in a heartbeat. Which makes it even more amazing to hear she wants to keep fitness within her own family, and who better than 31-year-old Pippa, who is athletic and slim, to help her reach her body goals?
Apparently, Kate noticed how amazing Pippa looked while they were on a family vacation in Mustique in February. She was always slender, but Kate vowed she would work harder to gain muscle tone after baby Charlotte was born. She proved her commitment to fitness by employing her own sibling to help her out.

It should be noted that Kate reportedly already shelled out a lot of money to hire a high-profile trainer, but she is either opting instead for just Pippa or, maybe, planning to benefit from both of their expertise.
Anyway, it seems like Pippa is taking her role very seriously because she already has a killer plan. She will be spending more time at the royals' country estate Anmer Hall, where she has "mapped out a cross-country route for Kate around the grounds." The estate comes equipped with a gym and swimming pool, so it should be easy for her to get fit. Pippa is even reportedly taking control of her sister's diet by increasing her protein and carb intake so that she can handle the demands of her exercise program.
Pippa seems like the ideal trainer -- knowledgeable, fit, friendly, and someone who has her sister's best interests at heart.
