Draya Michele Works Out to Keep Her Weight Down While Pregnant

Now that we finally know former Basketball Wives star Draya Michele and her fiance, Dallas Cowboys star, Orlando Scandrick are expecting their first child together, the soon-to-be mom has revealed that she is working out to keep her weight down while pregnant.

During an interview with People, Michele said that she's been doing a lot of cardio routines to make sure she maintains a healthy weight while carrying a growing baby bump. "I wasn't sick for longer than three weeks and I've been dieting and keeping up with cardio to keep my weight down," she said. "I really enjoy nap time since I'm still working full time."

In a recent video, Michele was at the gym getting her workout on, but struggled to get up after resting. It's probably harder to jump up when you have a few extra pounds sitting inside of your stomach.

Michele will be reliving motherhood all over again. She already has one son, Kniko from a previously relationship. When it came to revealing the news to her 13-year-old, Michele said that he was excited to learn that he would be becoming a big brother.

"I just had to buckle down and tell him. I honestly felt really bad keeping it a secret from him so I made sure that he was one of the very first people that I told." Michele said that Kniko wants to teach the new baby soccer when he gets older. "He's excited to be a big brother and wants to teach him soccer."

MStars News is glad Michele is staying fit while pregnant. Hopefully she has a smooth labor and delivery when it comes time to welcome her new son into the world.
