She just welcomed her gorgeous daughter Madison into the world so new mum Amelia Murs has been taking a well-deserved break from her usual fitness routine.
The 31-year-old is a dedicated bodybuilder and when she discovered she was expecting her first child with hubby Olly, she made a promise to herself to keep training.
Given all the changes the body goes through during pregnancy, it’s absolutely understandable that some women find it difficult just getting up and going about their daily business. But Amelia tried hard to maintain her focus during the nine months.
Sharing photos of her own personal journey to motherhood, Amelia shared ‘Gym I’ll see you soon… but for now I’m resting, recovering and enjoying the newborn bubble with my baby girl’.
Starting out at seven weeks pregnant, Amelia was not yet showing any sign of a bump as she started her pregnant fitness journey.
In the early stages, she can be seen doing many of the standard exercises that she was capable of before pregnancy, including some very impressive non-assisted chin ups.
However, as her bump popped, the expectant mum adapted her exercise routines so that she was able to continue with her fitness regime every week until Madison was born.
While it looks like she managed the free weights with relative ease, Amelia also incorporated some gentle cardio on the cross trainer.
The machine is popular for those trying to get fit without putting too much pressure on the joints, and it works the whole body in a low impact way.
Hubby Olly and Amelia announced the were expecting their first child back in December five months after tying the knot in an fun wedding dubbed Murs Fest, that was influenced by music festivals.
The new dad didn’t take too much time out after announcing his daughter’s arrival on April 17, joining Take That on tour for a number of shows just two days after announcing Madison’s arrival.
While he confessed to the crowd at the O2 in London that he felt ‘guilty’, it seems there was no hard feelings as his girls joined him for later shows- Madi must make the record as one of the youngest concert goers ever!
The fact that new mum Amelia is up and about and taking in concerts within the first month of her daughter’s life is remarkable, her recovery must be going well- no doubt thanks in no small part to her pregnancy fitness routine.
