How Shakira Will Stay Fit During And After Second Pregnancy

Singing sensation Shakira confirmed to the Spanish version of Cosmopolitan that she is expecting her second child with boyfriend Gerard Piqué.

The 37-year-old singer and the 27-year-old soccer star welcomed their first child together back in January 2013, a baby boy named Milan.

The Colombian star gets help maintaining her sexy physique with personal trainer Anna Kaiser, owner of AKT InMotion Studio in New York City.

Shape Magazine got the ins and outs of Shakira's workout plan. 

"Being consistent with exercise is the biggest hurdle to overcome for every woman," explains Kaiser. "Shakira also works so hard. She gives 150 percent with everything she does."

The "Hips Don't Lie" singer loves to be outdoors playing tennis or going paddleboarding. Routine is important too, Kaiser explains. They always start with 30 minutes in the morning and 30 at night and might increase that to one hour as the weeks go on and her level of strength increases.

"One session might consist of ballet combo and barre exercises, then kickboxing and sports training, hip-hop, or Pilates," Kaiser says.

As any fitness junkie knows, it's not only exercises that create lean muscles and a spicy physique like Shakira's. Nonetheless, having proper and strict diet goals is what will separate you from being a star to being a flop. Kaiser mixes up the singer's meal options with poached chicken and green salads, stating they should portion to about the size of your hand.

"Another is a cup and a half of quinoa with minced veggies, all cooked at once so the quinoa absorbs the nutrients," explains Kaiser. "For snacks, a vegetable pureed soup with pumpkin seeds, olive oil, or flaxseed oil works."

When Shakira is dealing with post baby weight Kaiser says it's important that her cardio remain low impact and she should slowly strengthen her core with deep diaphragmatic breaking.

The gorgeous twosome met back in 2010 when the singer was promoting her World Cup anthem "Waka Waka (This Time for Aftrica)."
