First Kourt, now Rob: Kim’s intent on getting her siblings into shape
It's been a tough 18 months for Rob Kardashian, but the former reality star has been making some very positive lifestyle changes of late, all thanks to his big sister Kim.
Rob has kept a low profile over the last couple of years, having gone bankrupt, ended his relationship with singer Rita Ora and gained a significant amount of weight. However he seems determined to get his health back on track at least, and has been working out with Kim on a regular basis.
Just yesterday Kim took to Twitter ahead of a morning workout with her brother, writing, "Rise & Grind! Workout time!!!!! With @robkardashian" alongside a heart and flexed muscle emoji.
In a rare move, Rob himself even posted to Instagram after bumping into step-sister Kylie and her boyfriend Tyga on their own earlybird hike. "Spotted these fools on the morning workout," he wrote alongside the picture.
This isn't the first time Kim has used exercise to help one of her siblings out of an emotional rut.
Just days after Kourtney's split from Scott Disick went public, her sisters presented the perfect distraction – a group exercise class.
And if Kourtney's choice of bikini in St Barts last week is anything to go by, she's already feeling more confident again.
The transition to a healthier and happier self might be not quite so easy for Rob, though. Earlier this year it seemed he had reached breaking point as his family tried and failed yet again to get him into rehab for his addiction issues.
In one particularly emotional episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Rob's mum Kris Jenner burst into tears as she discussed her fears for her son. "He's gained over 100 pounds in the last year," she said. "He's missed Christmas, he missed Kim's wedding.If I don't help him do something drastic, he's going to die."
But while Rob wasn't present for any of Kylie's recent birthday celebrations or for the family's holiday in St Barts last week, he seems to be gearing up for getting back into the public eye. We wish him all the best.
