I get more questions about my workouts than anything else, so here it is: my real weekly routine. Nothing extreme, just consistent. I’m not a trainer, so check with a pro before starting anything new. — Cami Del Toro
My weekly split
- Monday: glutes and legs (gym)
- Tuesday: reformer pilates
- Wednesday: upper body and core (gym)
- Thursday: reformer pilates
- Friday: glutes again, lighter, plus a long incline walk
- Saturday: hike or beach stairs with friends
- Sunday: rest, stretching and a long walk with my puppy
Glute and leg day
This is my favorite day and the reason for most of my gym mirror selfies. I warm up with ten minutes on the incline treadmill and some banded glute activation, then:
- Hip thrusts: 4 sets of 10
- Romanian deadlifts: 3 sets of 10
- Bulgarian split squats: 3 sets of 8 per leg
- Cable kickbacks: 3 sets of 12 per leg
- Abductor machine: 3 sets of 15 to finish
I focus on slow, controlled reps instead of lifting as heavy as possible.
Reformer pilates
Pilates is what keeps me strong, flexible and calm. I do two 50-minute classes a week. It’s amazing for posture, core strength and that long, toned look. Plus, the studio is my favorite place to catch up with friends.
Upper body and core
- Lat pulldowns: 3 sets of 10
- Seated rows: 3 sets of 10
- Dumbbell shoulder press: 3 sets of 10
- Lateral raises: 3 sets of 12
- Planks and dead bugs: 3 rounds
Hikes, beach stairs and long sunset walks
Weekends are for moving outside. Runyon Canyon, Griffith Park and the Santa Monica stairs are my go-tos. It doesn’t feel like a workout when the view is that good. It’s a big part of my LA routine.
What I eat around workouts
Before: a banana or toast with almond butter and a coffee. After: protein, always. A smoothie with protein powder, berries and spinach, or eggs and avocado toast. On weekends it’s brunch (see my LA brunch spots).
Recovery is part of the routine
- Seven to eight hours of sleep whenever I can
- Stretching or foam rolling for ten minutes after every workout
- Lots of water and electrolytes, especially in the LA heat
- One full rest day a week, no guilt
After a sweaty session my skin needs love too. My post-gym steps are in Cami Del Toro’s skincare routine.
What I wear to the gym (cute, a little flirty, always comfy)
Matching sets make me want to work out. I love seamless leggings or bike shorts with a crop top, white sneakers and my hair in a high pony. And yes, I bring a long coat for after, like in my fall outfit ideas.
My gym playlist

How I stay consistent
Motivation comes and goes, so I don’t rely on it. I schedule workouts like appointments, lay out my gym clothes the night before and book pilates classes a week ahead so I can’t talk myself out of them. I also keep it fun: new playlists, a workout buddy and a cute set I’m excited to wear. And I’m not perfect. Some weeks I only make it three times, and that’s fine. The goal is to keep showing up, not to be flawless. Progress in the gym, like everything else, is slow and then all at once. During the busy party season I switch to shorter sessions, and that version is in my holiday fitness plan.
Beginner version of my routine
Just starting? Try three days a week: one glute and leg day, one upper body day and one pilates or long walk. Use lighter weights, learn the form first and add a day once it feels easy.
