Steph Claire Smith is a fitness influencer and trainer. She is the co-founder of the fitness app, Kic, and she hosts the KIC podcast. Smith shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. In a recent video, she shared her favorite lower and upper body exercises. Smith captioned the post, "Round 1: 10x reverse db lunge L. 10x reverse db lunge R. 15x db goblet squat. 20x wall hip raises ^ x3. Round 2: 5x chin ups. 10x db push press. 15x single arm row L. 15x single arm row R ^ x3. Round 3: 10x hanging leg raises ^ x2."
As you can see in her Instagram post, Smith likes to work her lower body. Piedmont reports that these workouts have a lot of benefits. "Having strong glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings and calf muscles gives your body a strong foundation and can: Tone your lower body muscles. Boost your metabolism as you increase muscle mass. Give you a higher calorie burn as you train larger muscle groups. Improve your balance. Strengthen your bones. Reduce joint pain."
In an Instagram video, Smith is seen using weights for strength training exercises. The Mayo Clinic states that strength training has a lot of benefits. "Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age."
Smith is seen doing chin-ups. ACE Fitness states that this exercise has a lot of benefits. "Chin-ups can help improve grip strength, posture and appearance, while also helping to strengthen muscles that stabilize the spine. This, in turn, can help reduce one's risk of back pain and injury. Even if a client is only able to do one or two chin-ups at a time, this exercise offers tremendous benefits, especially for the back, shoulders, forearms and biceps."
Smith makes sure to work out on a regular basis. However, she revealed in the caption of this Instagram post that she doesn't push herself too hard when she works out. "REMINDER: a workout doesn't have to feel like death to 'count.' The point is, you're making time for you. Doesn't matter if that's a walk to the coffee shop and back, yoga, Pilates, running, HIIT, strength, dancing…WHATEVER. Moving your body is important and EVERYTHING 'counts' if it's making you feel good. ❤️"
Smith revealed in the caption of this Instagram post that she likes to do HIIT training to stay fit. "HIIT training used to be absolute hell for me… and whilst it's still challenging, and not my FAVOURITE type of workout, it was 'hell' because of my mindset," she wrote. "I used to hate every second of it because I'd use those sessions as punishment – wanting to burn as much as I could purely because I wanted to change my body. I can now challenge myself in a workout and enjoy the challenge because I'm doing it for a completely different reason. And I LOVE @laura.henshaw 's NEW HIIT classes in the app because there is so much mindfulness pulled into the classes, she continuously reminds you that you're in charge of your own body and to listen to it throughout the sessions and you honestly finish them feeling on top of the world. They're all 5-15min long – so go roll out the mat, and give one a go."

Model and fitness influencer Steph Claire Smith is hinting at some very exciting news—and sharing her happiness with fans. Smith, 29, posted a picture of herself posing, looking on top of the world. "16yr old Steph would be SCREAMING?❤️ Excited to share what I shot yesterday ?," she captioned the post. Fans immediately started speculating as to what she might be hinting at. "It's gotta be VS ? I remember when you were going to castings ???," one commented.
Smith appreciates the benefits of a calm, happy start to the day. "These days I have really been enjoying a slower start to the day," she says. "I used to jump out of bed and smash out a workout and have brekkie on the go on my way to work (definitely still have these mornings now and then) but I take my time when I can. I start with either a yoga flow or a walk with Ari my dog and I've found that has helped my mood and headspace so much throughout the day. Sometimes when life is busy and I'm a little stressed, fast-paced mornings are the worst!"
Smith works out several times a week and likes to mix up her exercises. "I definitely listen to my body, but on average I'd say I workout five to six days a week," she says. "But it's broken up into different activities – I might go on two runs, do two HIIT workouts or strength workouts and then fill in the other days with yoga or walking."
Smith enjoys a healthy diet with plenty of good fats and protein. "Lunch is generally poached eggs with avocado, spinach, and gluten-free bread," she says. "Mid-afternoon, I like a KIC Bliss Ball (available in selected Cole's supermarkets) for something sweet. As for dinner, it's always different—typically anything with meat and vegetables. All of my favorite dinners are in the KIC program, like the Surf n Turf Salad, or Baked Sticky Chicken with Greens.
Smith doesn't believe in restrictive eating patterns and punishing workouts. "It's all about balance," she says. "Nothing too strict, basically the 80:20 rule. Listen to your body and fuel it with the right things, and treat yourself the other 20 percent of the time with food that makes you happy. When it comes to exercise, find what works for your body and what you enjoy doing. A workout shouldn't be punishment."
Smith winds down for the day with tea and reading, and makes an effort not to scroll on her phone in bed. "I can't end the day without a peppermint tea," she says. "It's a habit that now is set in my routine as the last thing that I consume for the day and so now it makes me sleepy. I love chocolate, I would have chocolate almost every night of the week! But I try not to have it too close to bedtime."
