If pregnancy glow was a person, then we all would probably look to Hilary Swank!
The "Million Dollar Baby" actress, who is currently expecting twins with her husband Philip Schneider, hit the gym to keep up with her body movement and stay fit for the buns in the oven.
Pregnant Hilary Swank Flaunts Baby Bump At The Gym In Workout Video
As Swank prepares to welcome her little ones, she shows that she isn't letting that fact keep her workout off her priority list. Over the weekend, the "Alaska Daily" star posted an exciting video of herself doing an arm workout while the tune of "Blessings" by Hollow Coves plays in the background. The snippet ended with the proud mom-to-be rubbing her huge baby bump.
The 48-year-old kept it simple by wearing black leggings with a skin-tight dark grey long-sleeved shirt that hugs her baby bump. She paired the athletic gear with white sports shoes. In the clip, she stood in front of training equipment, lifting it with her right hand and turning to her left side.
Now that the "The Next Karate Kid" actress is carrying multiples, she noted that it has been a while since she had such experience in the accompanying caption that read, "Me and Da Babes workin' out 🤍🤍 Been a lonnnnnnng time since #FitnessFriday."
It did not take long for her followers to flood the comments with praises, with one commenting, "Wow it's like you have the strength of 3 people." "Modern Family" alum Jesse Tyler Ferguson wrote, "You are everything!"
A second fan wrote, "Badass mama!💪❤️." A third fan motivated the actress by noting, "Congratulations Mama. Staying strong and Fit will help you when those Beautiful Babies join Our World," with several emojis. Singer Jewel commented, "Amazing!! You look so good!."
The recent update comes a few days after the "Amelia" producer's baby bum stole the spotlight at an event. The Blast detailed how she stopped by the "Late Late Show" before gracing the Golden Globes Awards red carpet.
Swank was glowing through her pregnancy when she joined the show's host, James Corden, and her co-guest, Gwyneth Paltrow, to have a friendly discussion. The "Camp Wilder" television star wore a lengthy black dress with long perforated sleeves and open stitching around the neckline and bottom, which called attention to her legs and the matching black open-toe sandals on her feet.
Her natural look was elevated with fantastic makeup, while her brunette hair was parted down the center and styled into a wavy look. The post shared to her Instagram Story displayed her smile and baby bump.
Swank was forthcoming about her pregnancy cravings on the show as she disclosed that in the first 16 weeks of her pregnancy, she desired to consume a large number of fruits. Also, she shared that she was essentially in her third trimester. She said:
"I'm feeling pretty full. I love it. I feel like women are superheroes for what our bodies do. I have such. I'm in a whole newfound respect."
Speaking on how she handled filming her primetime drama "Alaska Daily" during the early stages of her pregnancy, she said, "I'm pregnant, and I can't tell anybody. 'Guys, I think I'm a really bad runner. I need a stunt double to run.'"
"The Reaping" actress reportedly had to use a body double to do the walking scenes and a stunt double to run before she shared her good news with the world. However, she confirmed the news by detailing how she had to take extra steps to prove to her bosses that she was a lousy runner before a stunt double was granted.
The Soon-To-Be Mother-Of-Two Explains Why She Waited To Have Kids Later In Life
Ahead of her twins' arrival, pregnant Swank explained her decision to wait until an older age before deciding to have children. A previous report by The Blast noted that she felt "all the elements" had to align, including her career and relationship.
The "Freedom Writers" actress announced her pregnancy in October 2022, and in that same month, she interviewed with Extra Magazine, where she disclosed her rationale behind having kids later in life. In her words:
"I was having a career and not having the right relationship until … four years ago, and all the elements needed to come together and be right."
"It's just something I thought about even as a young girl. It's something that was on my mind, so it's nice to be here and just be pregnant," she said to acknowledge that she was pleased with her decision.
