Cardi B returned to her gym routine just eight days after welcoming her third baby with estranged husband Offset.
In an Instagram Story on Sunday night, the 31-year-old rapper joked that she was “dying” as she completed a 30-minute workout on a StairMaster. “Since I’m off tonight, I’m doing a late-night gym session,” Cardi captioned the video.
The proud mum emphasised that she was only doing cardio for the evening, being less than two weeks postpartum. “No heavy lifting, no weights, just straight StairMaster until next week,” she wrote, adding that she would soon start working with a trainer.
Despite getting back into her routine so soon after her baby girl’s arrival, the Grammy winner reassured fans that this was not her first time. “Remember ladies, this is my third baby,” Cardi – who welcomed daughter Kulture in 2018 and son Wave in 2021 – noted. “With my other two babies, I was still on bedrest during my first week postpartum.”
She followed up with a second video on her Instagram Stories, showing that she had climbed 80 floors and burned over 240 calories. “Big thirty minutes on the StairMaster… IT’S PERSONAL!!!!” the “WAP” rapper wrote. “Do you know you got 30 minutes? YAAAAASSSS [sic] THIRTY THIRTY.”
Cardi announced the arrival of her newborn daughter on 13th September. “The prettiest lil thing 9/7/24,” she captioned a carousel of photos from the hospital, accompanied by a series of pink heart emojis.
Offset, from whom Cardi filed for divorce this summer, was also pictured in the hospital photos alongside their two other children.
On TikTok, Cardi shared a more intimate look at the baby’s arrival with a video from the hospital. “Babygirl,” she captioned the post, with several pink flower emojis. The clips featured the musician holding her newest addition just moments after birth.
Cardi and Offset have yet to reveal their newborn’s name.
