Gisele Bündchen is sharing her postpartum secrets, revealing that targeted core-strengthening workouts helped her regain strength after welcoming her third child in 2025.
The 45-year-old supermodel demonstrated her recovery routine in an Instagram video posted in February, showcasing Pilates-based exercises that have become central to her comeback. "I really feel these exercises have been amazing," Bündchen explained in the video. "They really have helped me gain my core strength back after my third pregnancy. I wish I knew them before, because I didn't do them in my other pregnancies."
Bündchen emphasized the importance of taking time rather than rushing back to training intensively. "I took almost a full year to return to my regular workouts, and I truly believe slowing down made all the difference for me," she said. "It helped me rebuild my deeper core and protect my back."
Calling the exercises a "game changer," Bündchen is advocating for a more intentional recovery strategy for postpartum fitness.
Indeed, the media has long put intense pressure on female celebrities to bounce back quickly after childbirth. Many have opened up about the insecurities they felt postpartum, with several calling out how media coverage exacerbates the problem.
