Heather Rae El Moussa is doing everything to be summer ready!
Following the birth of her child, the TV personality has been committed to balancing her role as a new mother and an entrepreneur. Now, the star has decided to do away with the mommy bubble and put in the work to regain her pre-pregnancy figure.
Heather Rae El Moussa Documents Her Fitness Journey To Snap Back Body
Taking to her Instagram story, the "Selling Sunset" star shared a video of herself working hard – not real estate this time but exercising. In the clip, the mother-of-one could be seen wearing a gray sports bra and black leggings and doing a core workout in her living room.
As her trainer encouraged her in the background, the actress inhaled and exhaled loudly, performing the moves perfectly. In the next slide, the blond beauty posted a picture in which she leaned on one of the chairs by her kitchen island.
Heather was tapping her trainer at the bottom of the image, and she looked immersed in the exercise. The last video saw the former model back on the floor, holding on to a black weighted ball, doing advanced crunches.
Her fitness instructor guided her, asking her to tighten her pelvic floor. This is a crucial detail to note because, as fans would recall, the "Love In The Time Of Monsters" star had disclosed earlier that her postpartum body was still weak.
In a previous Instagram story update, the 35-year-old showed her intense workout routine with her trainer, Paulina Stein. The first clip featured Heather performing squats with leg stretches on a vibrant pink yoga mat, following the guidance of Stein, who sported a sleek all-black workout ensemble.
Donning black leggings, a gray long-sleeve shirt, and black sports shoes, the Anaheim native styled her tresses in a bun and worked out alongside her pet dog. In the caption, she wrote:
"Back from vacay & back to training @paulinastein. We are slowly building; my body is still weak after having the baby."
In another heartwarming video, the "Flipping El Moussas" star shared a touching moment with her baby boy as she incorporated him into her workout routine. Holding her adorable son while performing squats, each downward motion elicited delightful giggles from her little one. Heather expressed her joy in the caption, noting, "First official giggles @therealtarekelmoussa."
Continuing her fitness journey, she uploaded another exercise video demonstrating her balance and flexibility by resting her elbows and a knee on the floor while raising her left leg. The "Til Death" actress showed determination, letting her fans know she worked hard to achieve her fitness goals.
'The Internship' Star And Husband Tarek El Moussa Share Their Fertility Journey And Future Plans
Nearly four months after the arrival of their first child, the couple opened up about their fertility journey. They discussed their experience with in-vitro fertilization (IVF) without holding back, shedding light on their emotional and physical challenges.
Furthermore, the pair revealed their plans for their preserved embryos. During an interview with singer Jennifer Hudson, the duo recalled that getting pregnant was difficult. Tarek explained:
"We went through the IVF process because we didn't think Heather could get pregnant. We went through the entire thing, doctors and shots, everything."
Even though she conceived naturally, they decided to preserve some of the embryos from their IVF journey, keeping the possibility of expanding their family alive.
For Heather, this step was a testament to the hope that they may have another child. The surprising revelation left her partner momentarily taken aback, but he soon expressed his support, stating, "I don't know about that. Maybe. Whatever she wants is fine."
On the other hand, the former lingerie model could not contain her excitement about embracing motherhood while fulfilling her role as a stepmother to her beau's two children from his previous marriage to Christina Hall - Brayden James and Taylor Reese.
She gushed happily, "I did not think I was going to be this obsessed with having a baby. And I have two beautiful stepkids, and they're incredible, and they made me want to have babies. It's like an obsession I never knew could happen, and the female body is the most incredible thing going through this."
