She recently shared her weight loss journey, revealing how she shed 60 pounds of baby weight by working out three times a day. Ciara was engaged to rapper Future from October 2013 to August 2014, and they welcomed their son Future Zahir Wilburn in May 2014.
Reflecting on her pregnancy, Ciara joked, “When I was pregnant with Future, I quickly learned that you should never let a pregnant woman go hungry, because I turned into the Tasmanian Devil when I did!” She enjoyed indulging in all kinds of delicious food during that time. After giving birth, unable to exercise yet, she continued eating and ended up gaining 60 pounds.
However, as soon as her doctor cleared her to start working out again, Ciara wasted no time and was back on the treadmill the very next day.
Heading out: The stunning singer flaunted her luscious dark locks cascading over her shoulders as she climbed into the back of a waiting SUV. The talented artist, known for her hit Dance Like We’re Making Love, revealed that she trains with celebrity trainer Gunnar Peterson, who also works with the Kardashians. She mentioned looking forward to her ‘first one-hour training session’ with him for the day.
Describing their workout routine, she shared that they engage in an ‘hour-long plyometric cardio circuit with boxing elements,’ which she finds invigorating. Ciara highlighted the benefits of this regimen, stating, ‘It hits your muscles, provides a cardiovascular workout, and is a mental challenge all in one.’ She expressed her enthusiasm for boxing, emphasizing how it makes her feel empowered and ready to take on the world after a few rounds.
In addition to her intense boxing sessions, Ciara revealed her commitment to two more cardio workouts later in the day. Coupled with a strict diet plan, this routine helped her shed 60 pounds in just four months. She emphasized the dedication and focus required for such a rigorous program, underscoring the importance of discipline and determination in achieving her fitness goals.
Looking back to April 2014, Ciara opened up about how she packed on 60 pounds during her pregnancy with her son Future, mainly due to her diet at the time.
Revealing her strategy for getting back in shape, Ciara stressed the importance of cutting herself some slack. She emphasized that despite following a strict eating plan, she knew it was necessary to indulge in some comfort foods like French fries, cheeseburgers, pizza, Oreos, and vanilla ice cream.
In addition to adjusting her diet, Ciara credited water as a crucial element in her weight loss journey. She explained that she viewed water as her ‘medicine’ and made a point to consume a gallon of it every day to ensure her overall well-being.
When battling cravings, the singer has a simple reminder for herself: “The food isn’t going anywhere.” This mindset helps Ciara stay disciplined and focused on her health goals.
The popular singer of Dance Like We’re Making Love flaunted her toned physique on the front page of Shape magazine’s September edition, available in stores starting August 18th.
The mother shared that sometimes she gets those cravings for pasta, but when she’s trying to eat healthier, she tries to stop and ask herself if she really needs to indulge in that. She believes that if you set your goals, talk about them, and work hard towards them, you can make them happen.
This past year has been extremely busy for the talented artist, with the release of her sixth album, Jackie, appearances on NBC’s I Can Do That!, going on tour, and becoming a mother to her son, Future.
