Shakira Flashes Perfect Abs Post-Baby for SELF Cover, “Quite Proud” of Her Rear
Shakira‘s abs don’t lie! After maintaining a healthy diet and fitness plan throughout her pregnancy with son Milan, Shakira is showing off her perfect post-baby abs on the September cover of SELF — and spilling her fitness secrets.
“I did Zumba throughout my pregnancy,” she shares. “That helped me not gain too much weight.” And she kept it up after baby by training privately with Zumba creator Beto Perez for one week, and doing four to five morning workouts a week.
Shakira paid particular attention to her abs, explaining, “Two minutes of ab work isn’t enough.” Though her abs are something to be proud of, the new mom has a different area of her body that she loves. “I’m quite proud of my rear,” she admits. In addition to cardio dance moves, Shakira held a plie and squeezed her glutes 30 times to get her ʙuтт in shape.
As for diet, Shakira tells the magazine she ate eight small meals a day — rich in fiber, protein, calcium and iron — that were between 200 and 250 calories each.
Most importantly, however, the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer embraced her body at every size. “I don’t obsess over my flaws, because I see my body as a whole,” she explains. “Besides, I think men appreciate confidence more than perfection.”
