Middleton's fitness routine is reportedly a mix of cycling, yoga, and core-focused exercises
Although writer Fabiana Buontempo couldn't find a full routine to follow, she looked into the kinds of exercises Middleton reportedly enjoys and pieced together a schedule.
She kicked off her week of Middleton workouts with a 15-minute yoga session and a long bike ride. Throughout the week, she also did ab exercises on a stability ball, body-weight moves, a 25-minute run, interval training, and a CrossFit-inspired routine.
On the last day of the experiment, Buontempo did a 2-mile run and a 1 1/2-mile bike ride.
Markle's routine reportedly consists of Pilates exercises, workout DVDs, and strength training

Buontempo also had to do piece-together research for Markle's favorite workouts before planning out her week.
She started with a Pilates-inspired workout with plenty of core moves. Throughout the week, she also tried hot yoga, a lower-body workout with resistance bands, a light jog, a boxing-inspired cardio video, and a 10-pound dumbbell routine.
On the last day of the Markle-inspired week, she challenged herself by going on a 3-mile run.

Kim's routine was mostly weight training with minimal cardio
Kim has shared many of her favorite workout routines and moves in interviews and on social media, so it was relatively easy to create a week-long plan.
She reportedly works out her glutes and legs twice a week, so Buontempo started the week off with a lower-body workout.
Over the next six days, she also did a full ab workout, an upper-body weight-training routine, a high-intensity cardio workout, a second lower-body day, a boxing routine, and a second ab day.
Khloé reportedly incorporates a lot of time-efficient exercises into her workouts

Like her sister, Khloé has shared a lot about her fitness routine on social media and in interviews.
Buontempo started off the Khloé-inspired week with a 30-minute boxing session because the influencer reportedly starts her weeks with cardio. The rest of the week consisted of full-body moves, hot yoga, a resistance-band arm workout, a lower-body workout, a run, and an ab routine.
Khloé has said in interviews that she uses the last day of the week as a rest day, so Buontempo did the same, making sure to stretch her sore muscles out with a 2-mile walk and a foam-rolling routine.

Kendall's routine incorporated body-weight moves and intense ab exercises
Kendall is reportedly a fan of body-weight (equipment-free) exercises, so that was the base of the week's routine.
Buontempo started off with a full-body routine. Throughout the week, she also incorporated ab moves, a leg routine, a boxing class, a resistance-band routine, and more body-weight moves.
The week ended with a weighted arm routine.

Although Kylie and Kendall don't post as much workout content as their older sisters Kim and Khloé, Kylie reportedly takes a more free-spirited approach to fitness.
Buontempo started the week off with a brisk walk, and in later days, incorporated a lower-body workout, an elliptical session, a HIIT-style workout, an ab routine, and a Kardashian-approved lower-body routine.
She finished the Kylie-inspired week off with a second turn on the elliptical and a lower-body stretch.
