Post pregnancy workout,
Do it like Blake!
Now that you’ve given birth to your beautiful baby, a new born who expanded your family and probably your body too! We need to do something about it.
It’s simple; your new born should bring joy to your soul not fat to your body. The general rule says “It takes 6 weeks, before you can head back to the gym”
A good leading example to follow is Blake Lively, it took her only 2 months to get her stunning look back. She showed up in her first post baby appearance wearing her beautiful tight white dress.
The surprise is her body was absolutely flawless!
How can you be her?
