Here’s what Hilary Duff’s personal trainer tell about her body goals
Duff’s personal trainer Dominic Leeder explained that Hilary Duff’s first priority is definitely not her first priority though she keeps hustling to maintain her fitness.
“I don’t feel like she’ll mind me saying this: yes, her fitness and health are hugely important to Hilary. What’s more important to her is her family and work,” he explained. “When she comes home from work, she wants to spend time with her family because she spends very little time with them when she’s hard at work, so every moment counts.”
The How I Met Your Father actress Hilary Duff previously opened up about her relationship with her body as well. She then posed for a nude photo for Women’s Health on May 2o22, commenting,

She just continued how fascinated she is with being a woman and accepting her body even after her pregnancy. Being a mother is a powerful feeling she developed, after welcoming a daughter Banks Violet, 4, with now-husband Matthew Koma.
She told,
“It’s taken me all of the places I need to go. It’s helped me build a beautiful family. I feel like the older I get, the more confident I get in my own skin. And my body’s been many different shapes and sizes and I’m really just fascinated by, one, being a woman. And two, all the changes that your body can go through throughout your lifetime”
Duff who is a mother to 2 with the arrival of 20-month-old Mae James, revealed she learned to accept her body only after being a parent. Duff also shared son Luca Cruz, 10½, with retired NHL ex-husband Mike Comrie.
