Most pregnant women can’t afford a personal trainer to help them along their journey. Heck, most can’t even find the time or energy to workout by themselves because they’re too busy either taking care of their household or trying to attend work for as long as possible.
But for a super wealthy celebrity like Blake Lively? Well, she’s got the time and the money to make sure her body bounces back.
Her personal trainer, Don Saladino, talked to Us Weekly this past week to discuss how Lively’s workout sessions are changing during her most recent pregnancy.
You know, we’re watching the ballistics a little bit. I know in the first trimester things change a little bit, but all in all, she’s always had a good foundation. We’re removing any jumping, any ballistics [and] we’re really staying away from the cardio. We’re trying to keep things a little bit more stationary. Always a lot of split stance. We don’t have her laying flat on her back. We’re not putting her legs inverted. So, everything’s really a little bit more upright or on some sort of an incline.
Does anyone else get tired just by reading about someone else working out? Just me? Okay.
Saladino works with both Blake and her husband Ryan Reynolds, so you know he’s probably paid well. After all, he helped Ryan get into the best shape of his life for Deadpool.
Saladino says he’s a big believer in consistency over intensity. It’s more beneficial to find a program you’ll stick with because doing a super intense once a week won’t do as much for your overall health.
Blake’s current fitness goal is just to have a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
Right now [her fitness goal is] to have a healthy delivery and be a healthy human being and be the mother that she wants to be for her family. And I think right now that’s her role. She’s trying to turn around and [think], ‘How can she always make this a little bit easier, that next delivery. How can she rebound a little bit quicker?’
Blake and Ryan already share three kids together. This will be their fourth, and possibly final kid, although they have discussed baby number five.
