Jessie J Gets Candid About Exercising Amid Postpartum Journey

Jessie J's postpartum experience has been a mixture of positivity and challenges but that has not stopped her from sharing her journey with her devout fans as often as possible.   

She did so recently, highlighting her progress upon her return to the gym with a candid revelation about her inconsistency but maintaining that she always shows up whenever she can.

Amid her return to working out and the series of video she has posted updating fans on getting her fitness levels back, the English songstress got candid about the not-so-linear journey. In an Instagram Story update, Jessie revealed that she had been getting "a lot of 'how often do you workout now, Jess?'" leading her to mention that social media is nothing close to her real life.

"The video I just posted is my 3rd workout since the baby," she wrote. She added that Sky was 14 weeks old and admitted that since posting the clip, she had only "worked out once more…BIG."

The "Flashlight" songstress further stressed, "I'm not and never will be consistent. (even before pregnancy). But I show up where and when I can." She then declared that she was reveling in "being able to go, moving my energy around, hanging with @chiefnaka, and exploring this new body of mine."

Not long after the genuine update, Jessie uploaded an unfiltered video of an intense workout session with her trainer.     The clip which was set to Billie Eilish’s "What Was I Made For" showed the "Wild" star participating in different routines. She was dressed in high-waist leggings, a vivid yellow sports bra underneath a cropped white top, alongside white sneakers, for the session.

Using a detailed caption, she sent a message to all mothers, touching on the challenges of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. Jessie began:

"To all Mums, It's not easy because YOU care. It's not easy because YOU sacrificed so much physically and mentally to birth your child. It's not easy even if YOU didn't physically birth your child."

She went on, "It's not easy because YOU miss your friends. It's not easy because YOU need more sleep. It's not easy because YOU are an amazing Mum. It's ok to admit that sometimes it's hard."

The "Price Tag" singer then focused on herself, saying she did not shower some days and usually cried a lot which she noted was "completely normal." In conclusion, she sent love to fellow mothers, cheering them on and commending them for "killing it" and "doing it." 

The post gained over 40k likes, with many Instagram users taking to the comments section to praise Jessie for her consistent honesty. One commenter stated, "I love that you are never just showing highlights. As a mom, it's great to see humans being human. Hugs to you on this whole life. You got this!"

A second penned, "Needed that. Love what this mom era is doing for you," while a third exclaimed, "Thank you [for] posting the struggles and being real.🤍 We need more of that on social media." Fans may recall that six weeks after welcoming Sky, the "Laserlight" vocalist announced her return to the gym with an Instagram video displaying her loaded drills.

She also blessed viewers with a glimpse of her baby daddy, Chanan Colman, while including some amusing dance moves and a view of herself in the pool. "Got my 6 week sign off from my doc to do some 'gentle exercise' if I want to," Jessie shared in the caption. "So I've been jogging to the fridge for 2 weeks."

She then wrote about being happy to be back in fitness mode even though she participated in only "low impact SLOW and NO PRESSURE" routines.

Despite Jessie's anticipation to resume her fitness journey, she has never shied away from taking pride in her curvier figure.

She did so about a week ago, flaunting her body in a stylish green two-piece bikini highlighting her well-formed midsection and thighs as seen on her Instagram Story. 

In addition, the 35-year-old songwriter spiced up her outfit with chic accessories, including dark sunglasses, small hoop earrings, a necklace, and bracelets.

Her dark tresses were bound in her typical low ponytail, emphasizing her jawline while she stood barefoot in front of a marble counter in what looked like her living room.
