Back in October, we shared the intense workout regimen of fitness guru Massy Arias with you. At the time, she was four months pregnant and honestly didn’t look like she was carrying anything other than a light bloat. Her abs were still pretty pronounced, muscles still strong, and she was not slowing down when it came to finding the time and energy to exercise. But as the months went on, a bump did get bigger, and as it did, she nevertheless continued to be active:
Arias continued to eat healthy and train in ways that were safe for her body. What worked for her and the intensity at which it did probably wouldn’t work for most of us. Arias’s body was quite conditioned before pregnancy. We’re talking years of being physically fit after putting in consistent work:
On February 28, Arias finally gave birth to her daughter, her first child, named Indira Sarai. She was able to bring the little one into the world through a natural water birth at home with fiancé Stefan Williams:
Nine days after giving birth, Arias shared her first postpartum picture on social media, and the snapback is quite insane. As you can see, the hard work she put in before baby and during pregnancy, as well as eating quite clean, paid off royally. But Arias wasn’t trying to show off, but rather, continue to share her health and fitness journey with followers, as she’s done for years. She put it best when saying, “This post isn’t intended to set any expectations or to be negative. We have all different journeys”:
She did note in that before and after picture that she isn’t rushing to get back in the gym, as she needs to heal and take care of little Indira. Then again, she clearly doesn’t need to rush. She put in enough work leading up to this major moment that she can just sit back and enjoy motherhood — abs on fleek. But for fitness fiends, time off from the gym can only last but so long. Talk about inspiring!
