Kendra Wilkinson shared her first visit to the gym in about two years, saying, “It’s a slow start, but we’re doin’ it.”
“It’s time to work out! I haven’t worked out in probably about two years, so I don’t know what I’m doing,” the Girls Next Door alum, 41, said in a video she posted to her Instagram stories on Aug. 5, when she documented her return to the gym. “Help,” she added with a chuckle. On the video, she shared text that revealed she’d “signed back up for the gym.”
Wilkinson wasn’t alone: Her gym buddies were daughter Alijah Mary, 12, and son Hank Randall IV, 14 — whom she shares with ex-husband Hank Baskett III — and they both hit the machines before showing off their skills on the basketball court.

At first, Wilkinson shared she felt a bit out of step: “OK, I don’t know where to start. Do I start with cardio? What do I do?” she said, before starting with the stair-climber. She later said that she began, and ended, her workout with cardio.
The former Playboy model turned-realtor has been candid about her health journey online, recently disclosing that she began taking a GLP-1 medication. Wilkinson posted her progress as well, telling her followers in May that she fit back into her size 6 jeans.

She’s also been clapping back at critics of her appearance as she’s gotten older: In March, Wilkinson fired back at a commenter who insulted her appearance, saying “I’m ok with aging ‘poorly.’ ”
“For some reason I’m happier than I’ve ever been lately even with a little weight gain and wrinkles,” she said, “and I’m not going to tie my happiness again into the negative energy.”

She went on to share that she’s “a balanced, single, positive, fun woman who loves life.”
“I hope that i can manage this feeling forever now after working hard to get here to this place,” she wrote. “I was verrrry young when i started tv and lived a crazy chaotic 20 years of impressing others but now it’s about ME. Giving back to ME. Even with less money and Way less fame. 😂.”
