Jeannie Mai is celebrating her body after baby in a bikini. In a new social media post, the Emmy winner flaunts her amazing figure in a swimsuit while sharing a message of self-love. “They say your body changes after birth like it’s a bad thing. But mine became wiser, wilder, and more sacred than ever. This postpartum body has carried life, held grief, chased joy, and made it all the way to the beaches of Europe. She’s not the same—and neither am I. And I love her for it,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does the 46-year-old approach health and wellness? Here are her diet and fitness habits.
Jeannie transformed her body from skinny to fit by strength training. “On the left is the first time I tried on this dress, at a weight I’ve kept for 12 years, 103 lbs. Staying 103 came from my self control to lose ‘chubby’ teenage weight and a stressful idea that my body was built to look best ‘thin’,” she wrote in a post. She added that she “started a new eating plan and training program and gained 17 lbs,” she wrote. “So far I’m 3 months of eating more, (clean protein and saying Yes to carbs!!), lifting heavy weights (best therapy ever!!) and truly loving all of Me. Not sure where I’m headed but I know I’m gonna look the best I’ve ever looked because Im spending quality time on ME.”
In another post she elaborated onher workout, starting with bench squats. She revealed that she squats 95 to 115lbs, doing 12 reps and 3 sets. “Clean up form, watch them knees, get low to see that femur (thigh bone) parallel to the floor. (Twerkers rejoice),” she wrote.
She also does 95-pound hip thrusters, 16 to 18 reps and 4 sets, “but my goal is to build up to 6 sets, and I WILL lift my own body weight in Jesus name ha!” Mai continued. “QWEEN of building booty, hamstrings, back muscle. This exercise gives you optimal hip extension- power in your glutes, the most powerful muscles in ur bod.”
Cable kickbacks are another exercise she doesn’t skip. She sticks to 30 lbs and does 12 per leg, 4 sets. “Cable kickback: Targets all 3 glutes (minimus, medius & maximus, low-back, builds the BOOTY SHELF,” Mai continued.
Lastly, she does 115-pound deadlifts, 12 reps and 4 sets. “Deadlifts: legit Mai fave exercise of all time. All-bawdy, all day. DLs train from your feet to your hands and everything in between,” she concluded.
