Stunning Cardi B in Two-Piece Workout Gear Gets Fit Days After Giving Birth

Cardi B, Grammy Award-winning rapper and new mom of three, has been candid about her journey to lose the baby weight, and just had her third child. Sharing her workouts and thoughts with fans on social media, Cardi is tackling postpartum fitness with a focus on cardio and flexibility. Known for her hit songs and political outspokenness, she’s also using this time to keep herself physically and mentally active.

1. She Does Cardio

Cardi talked about her approach to working out on X. She says that she is doing a lot of cardio workouts. “This is my third baby and postpartum is a little different from my first two… I’m not doing heaving lifting, no muscle straining, squatting none of that… just cardio.”

2. She Calls Out Hypocrisy

In another X post, Cardi called out the hypocrisy of her haters. “Sometimes to avoid postpartum depression you gotta keep your mind busy, and for me that’s work and staying active… but you know what’s funny?? Y’all dragged me down when I gained 15 pounds because I was 5 months pregnant but now yall fake concerned and wanna talk about pressure??? Y’all said I was pregnant to avoid working now that you see I’m still at it it’s something else??”

3. She Uses A StairMaster

Cardi is seen on a stairmaster in her Instagram story. Stair workouts have a lot of benefits. ACE Fitness states, “Some data suggest that using stairs in your everyday life, such as by walking up a flight or two instead of taking the elevator, is a burst of intense exercise that may stave off metabolic disease.”

4. She Stretches

Cardi likes to stretch on a regular basis. She talked about this in a video on TikTok. “Whew, you can’t build Rome in a day. But can you? I’ve been working out lately for two hours a day, and then I stretch for an hour. I want to be able to be as flexible as I was before I had my son [Wave], but my real goal is to be as stretchable and flexible as I was when I was a stripper.”

5. She Speaks Out

Cardi is known for being politically outspoken. In 2020, she did an interview with then Presidential-candidate Joe Biden for ELLE. In it, she shared her desires for the country. "It's important to have free [health care] because look what is happening right now. Of course, I think we need free college. And I want Black people to stop getting killed and no justice for it. I'm tired of it. I'm sick of it."

Fitness influencer Tammy Hembrow is reminding fans and followers that working out is as much about feeling good as it is about looking good. Hembrow, 29, shared a video of herself wearing two-piece workout outfits, using heavy dumbbells. “Remember we all start somewhere. For me training isn't just about aesthetics, it's about the strength & mental gain I get from it. That strong feeling 🤌🏼🤌🏼 nothing quite like it. @womensbest creatine has always been a part of my journey & definitely has helped with my goals along the way,” she captioned the post. Here’s how Hembrow snapped back into shape after having two kids.

1. Working Out With Kids

Hembrow fits her workouts around her family. “I honestly feel better when I get my workout in, less sluggish and I find it easier to keep up with my kids,” the mother-of-two tells Women’s Health. “Whether it’s a gym workout or HIIT home workout I always try to fit it in when I can. I will often do some workouts from my at home booty program – you only need dumbbells, or I will do a HIIT workout in the lounge room. I recently posted an at home HIIT workout on my YouTube channel. I did it in the process of moving house when I was really feeling the need for a pick-me-up. There was a lot going on that week and I was feeling it, I decided to film and post it on my channel to show how I can fit in a quick workout throughout your day.”

2. Booty Diet

Hembrow had to fine-tune her diet to get enough protein. "For me lean protein like chicken breast, turkey and fish, really helps, but I find that with trying to build my booty I wasn’t consuming the amount of protein I needed so supplements like protein shakes helped too," she tells Women's Health. "But I didn’t supplement my meals with these, it was always a combination of both. I needed to eat lots to build that area so I also ate lots of complex carbohydrates like brown rice, oatmeal, potatoes and healthy fats. I eat every two to three hours. For breakfast I usually eat oats with Women’s Best protein powder. I always have protein shakes after my workouts and love to eat fish, chicken, turkey, beans and vegetables. I’ve been trying to cut back on meat lately which I have found difficult. I usually end my day with oats and protein again. Boring I know!"

3. Postpartum Fitness

Hembrow kept working out throughout her pregnancies. “What helped me bounce back is definitely how I ate and trained as I was pregnant,” Hembrow said. “I ate very clean, I had a lot of veggies, a lot of protein, and I tried to only limit my treats to the weekends, so during the weekdays I was eating clean all the time. What kept me going is how I wanted to look after the baby. I knew I wanted to get fit again after the baby, and be in the best shape I could be, so I wanted to make it easier for myself by staying active while I was pregnant.”

4. Waist Binder

Hembrow wore a postpartum binder to help get back into shape again. “For about a week or so, I wore a postpartum binder — they gave me one at the hospital,” she says. “I definitely didn’t just snap back to my pre-baby body once I stepped out of the hospital, you still look pregnant when you step out of the hospital. I wasn’t in a rush or anything, but as soon as I got home I was eating clean, I was wearing the postpartum binder, and then I started working out about six weeks after the birth.”

5. Juggling It All

Hembrow has learned to go with the flow since having children. “Being a mum and running a business is still a juggling act for me, I honestly just try my best to manage my time and plan but as a mom, you know that sometimes planning goes out the window,” she tells Women’s Best. “I’ve definitely learned not to beat myself up about failure. You can’t do everything right all the time, failing is a part of being a parent and a business owner. You learn from your mistakes and you’re often smarter from it. I guess you could say becoming a mum made me more resilient in my home life and business.”

It’s amazing how much fresh air and sunshine can uplift your mood, and that was a driving force behind these pieces.”

3. She Has Been Running

“Oh, I love running,” she told Paper in June, revealing that she had just started it up again. “No matter where I am, I always have to go for a run because all you need is a pair of sneakers,” she continued. “It's just to get outside and go, just a mental drive to push yourself to do it. And with pregnancy and quarantine, it was hard to get outside and be able to keep up that normal part of my routine. I don't know why but it took a little extra mental motivation to lace the sneakers back up and get out there. It just felt so good."

Read on to see 7 ways Cardi B stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Only Eats Twice a Day

Cardi isn’t a three-meals-a-day kind of gal. "I also only eat twice a day," the rapper dished in one of her Instagram Stories. "I eat a big breakfast and then I eat a big dinner." "Eating breakfast may reduce your hunger later in the day, which may make it easier to avoid overeating. When you skip breakfast, you may feel ravenous later and be tempted to reach for a quick fix — such as vending machine candy or doughnuts. In addition, eating breakfast may reduce cravings, especially for sweets and fats," says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Dabbles in a Plant-Based Diet

Like Beyoncé, Cardi dabbles in plant-based eating. "Gotta' eat a lil' bit more healthy and see what the f**k is up," she said in an Instagram Story, per Live Kindly. "[It's my] first time eating vegan, y'all. I hope I don't waste my money. There's a burrito and there's a pancake."

3. She Eats a Lot of Fruit and Veggies

In 2021 Cardi opened up her kitchen to fans via her Instagram Stories. What’s in her fridge? A lot of produce, including clementines, bananas, apples, pomegranate seeds, pineapple, cantaloupe, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and carrots and celery.

4. Candy Is Her Cheat Food

While Cardi’s diet is mostly healthy, she makes sure to keep an arsenal of candy on hand. "And then the bad things!" she captioned a shot, revealing bowls of sweet treats including Starbursts, Kit Kats, Hot Tamales, Swedish Fish, Sour Patch Kids, Haribo gummies, Jolly Ranchers, and Blow Pops.

5. She Doesn’t Like Being Skinny

Cardi doesn’t strive for skinny. After welcoming her daughter, she revealed during an Instagram Live session that she wasn’t happy with her body. “I’ve been very depressed because I cannot stop losing weight. And it’s so crazy because when I first gave birth, I did everything to lose my baby weight. I was drinking Teami [weight loss tea] so it could curb my appetite and now that I lost all the baby weight I don’t like looking too skinny,” she said. “I used to look too skinny as a teenager and I used to hate it and I hate it now. It’s been really depressing me, making me sad. My weight. You know what I’m saying,” she continued. “S— is so stressful, not having no appetite at all,” she said. “I want to gain weight so bad. I’m really trying to gain weight ya’ll and it’s been hard and I don’t know how.”

6. She Struggles to Find Time for Exercise

Though Cardi is constantly dancing, which is a great calorie-blasting activity, she struggles to find time to slip in a workout. “If I’m not working, I gotta make sure my baby’s okay,” she said. “I might just get a little lipo, you know what I’m sayin’?”

7. She Tries Different Workouts

In her TV series on Facebook Watch, Cardi Tries, Cardi tries new workouts. In one episode she even does gymnastics (while pregnant!) with Natasya Generalova, a member of the U.S. rhythmic gymnastics national team. “When it comes to the ribbon, it's like whipping for pancakes for like a hole hour," Cardi said about the arm burn she experienced.
