Naomi Osaka Makes Her Return To Working Out Just A Month After Welcoming Daughter

Naomi Osaka is sweating off her postpartum body and embracing her athletic figure!

The tennis superstar took a well-needed break from the sport following her first pregnancy with her longtime beau, Cordae. The adorable couple welcomed their daughter Shai in July, a joyous occasion the proud parents celebrated in style.

Although it is typical for working moms to enjoy a relaxing hiatus following childbirth, the Japanese beauty is playing by her own rules. A month after her little girl's arrival, the 25-year-old is done resting and preparing to get back on the court.

In her latest Instagram update, the biracial athlete surprised fans with moments from her intense workout sessions. The carousel, captioned with a scrunched face, flexed bicep, and peace sign emojis, showed the media personality's commitment to being the best.

In the first snap, the WTA star flaunted her trimmed-down figure in a casual ensemble. She posed on a track field, flashing the camera a sweet smile and a peace sign while rocking skin-tight gray leggings, a floral shirt, and a blue baseball.

The aggressive baseline player tied the ends of her top, giving viewers a glimpse at her flat stomach. There was no postpartum belly pooch in sight as the 25-year-old appeared toned and fit, an incredible achievement for a woman who welcomed a child last month.

However, Osaka did not achieve her impressive transformation without sweat and presumably a few tears as the slideshow housed some of the entertainer's rigorous training regime. In a video, the mother of one pulled on a Torque Fitness tank.

The athlete's trainer stood on the unique push sled with wheels and could be heard teasing the Glamour Award winner for moving slowly while pulling his weight. In another clip, the two-time Australian Open winner competed against the fitness expert in a race.

The pair jogged on an uphill road, climbing the slope side by side while a woman cheered for the tennis superstar in the background. Once she got to where the person behind the camera stood, the star tennis player gasped for air and jokingly declared she hated her trainer.

The final slide was a cute mirror selfie of Osaka at the gym. The media personality donned an all-black ensemble featuring a baggy hoodie and form-fitting pants. The mother of one accessorized with matching sneakers and headphones, once again flashing the peace sign.

Naturally, fans were impressed by the Laureus World Sports Award winner's fitness transformation. Many applauded her commitment to tennis, while others praised her for wasting no time regaining her pre-pregnancy figure.

"No 'comeback' needed…She never left! Just excelling in other domains…Looking forward to seeing you doing amazing things on the court again!" An Osaka admirer declared. A fellow devotee shared similar sentiments, writing: "She's coming to collect them trophies."

"Let's gooo. Mom's are rooting for you," a third chimed. Meanwhile, a fourth acknowledged the ESPY Award recipient as an inspiration to new moms. Lauding the 25-year-old with praises, the fan penned: "All moms are beautiful! But I especially adore Moms who just look in shape after their delivery…#Goals!"

Additionally, celebrities showed Osaka love with "And Just Like That…" star Karen Pittman commenting: "Get it, Naomi!!!"

Weeks before debuting her trimmed-down figure, the 2020 Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year honoree rocked her postpartum body in an Instagram Story update. The cute post marked the tennis player's first outing since becoming a mom.

Although she did not share where she went, the Japanese beauty posed next to a Pioneer Coach Inc. bus, a company that offered local bus charter services and luxury coach travel for the entertainment industry.

In the snap, the new mom unveiled her curvier figure in a patterned mini-dress that stopped below her butt. She paired the colorful outfit with a black jacket and white sneakers while her voluminous tresses were parted in the middle, allowing her wavy curls to cascade down her face.

The mother of one posed with her head bent, blocking her face from view. Unlike her recent physique, Osaka had a belly pooch in the snap. However, her stomach was still significantly trimmer than her baby bump days.
