Kate Uptonhasn’t had any unconventional pregnancy cravings yet — and husbandJustin Verlandermight be a little disappointed about it.
“Justin was the most excited about weird cravings,” the 26-year-old modeland first-time mom-to-betold PEOPLE in a chat surrounding her new ambassadorship with athletic brandCopper Fit, in which she also stars in the new fall and holiday ad campaigns.
“He kept being like, ‘I can’t wait for the pickle run in the middle of the night,’ ” she recalls. “I’m like, ‘Okay.’ But I haven’t had anything. I’m fine with all food.”
Upton also admits she “stopped working out for a month” at one point during her pregnancy, because she “was so tired andthere was so much travel.”
“But I’ve been completely trying to stay healthy andwork out through the pregnancy, and doing the best I can,” she tells PEOPLE. “It makes me feel better, honestly.”

“What I’m working toward is different,” Upton says. “Instead of working toward being super fit, I’m strengthening my pelvic [area] and doing a lot of hip thrusts, body-weighthip thrusts and lunges andsquats to help with delivery and make it easier, hopefully. Fingers crossed.”
The mom-to-be knows the difficulties of getting to the gym every day, which is why she and her trainerBen Brunocreated a new at-home workout program calledStrong4MeFitness.com. It’s a 30-minutes-a-day routine, using minimal equipment, spread out over five days: two cardio workouts and three weight-training ones.
“You can do it anywhere in your house. I’ve done it while pregnant,” Upton says.

“We’re going to wait. We’re going to be surprised,” she said.
But do theyhave a shortlist of names? “We thought of names but we’re both in denial,” Upton joked toExtra. “We’re both like, ‘That’s a good idea,’ and then just ignore the other [person].”
