Gwen Stefani: I worked out until two weeks before giving birth

Gwen Stefani has revealed how she regained her figure so quickly after giving birth to son Kingston in May - she didn’t let it go too much in the first place.

She told Elle magazine recently: “I worked out with my trainer throughout the whole pregnancy until about two weeks before.”

But it wasn’t easy: “I cried during my last session. I was like, ‘I can’t breathe, I can’t do this any more. What am I doing?’ It was crazy.”

“All of my life I’ve had to work hard to stay in shape. I’ve always struggled with it. I was a little chubby when I was younger and I didn’t want to be that person forever.”

Regarding losing the excess weight afterwards, she added: “There aren’t any tricks, it’s simple math - you put this much food in, you burn that much working out. I gave myself three months - but if I didn’t have an album coming out, there’s no way I would have gotten back into shape in that time.”

“I worked out with my trainer five days a week, with weekends off. I would really recommend doing weights. I’m not into yoga and Pilates - they don’t work for me and I don’t have the patience. I’m more like a man, I like going to the gym and lifting weights or doing a little boxing.”
