Elsa Pataky waiting 2 months after giving birth to do abdomen exercises
Here are some photos of Chris Hemsworth, Elsa Pataky and India Hemsworth on April 10th. They were going into a medical building – Elsa was probably having a checkup, I would assume, especially since she just gave birth to twins Tristan and Sasha Hemsworth on March 21st. So… it had been about three weeks since giving birth when these photos were taken. And Elsa already looked really slim, like once the babies were out, she was almost back to her pre-pregnancy size. But, as Elsa confirmed in a blog post last week, don’t think that she’s been camped out in a gym after giving birth.
Although she has previously admitted to being a fitness junkie, when it comes to working out post-baby, Elsa Pataky didn’t jump right back in. Chris Hemsworth’s wife, who gave birth to twin boys Sasha and Tristan five weeks ago, wrote in her blog for Spanish Glamour that she waited a couple of months for core exercises.
“In my case a specialized postpartum physiotherapist recommended not to work my abs until they were totally joined again. As you know, when you’re pregnant the abdominals separate as the belly grows. So you have to wait for your abs to return to its initial position before you start doing ab work or otherwise there may be a lump, like a belly that never goes away. I started working my abs two long months (after delivery),” she shares, referring to her first pregnancy with daughter Indie Rose, now 23-months.
The actress also shared that she is a huge fan of yoga and green juices, even sharing her go-to recipe. “The juice I like to drink once in a while and that helps me to clean my system is made with a blender: an apple, a carrot, some celery with the green leaves, a lemon without peel. Once it’s done, you add a few teaspoons of olive oil. Super good.”
Elsa also said she has no plans to have more kids: “(We) do not plan to have more children, but you can never say never. With twins you have more work, and now I have to do it better.”
The pint-sized blonde also said that with no acting projects in the pipeline, she wants to stay at home with her family, saying: ‘My children right now is what matters most to me.’ Elsa, who was born and raised in Madrid also revealed that moving to Los Angeles was difficult, but being a positive person, ‘even in the worst moments I try to see the bright side.’
Ah, so she probably IS working out, she’s just not doing ab exercises. Bless her heart. I don’t have kids and I work out all the time, but you would still have to threaten me with bodily harm to get me to do a sit-up. And here’s Elsa, just a few weeks after giving birth and she can’t wait to get back to ab crunches, she’s just being forced to wait because she doesn’t want some weird belly muscle lump. God, that sounds so gross. Does that really happen?
As for the juice cleanse… it is what it is. Some people love juice cleanses and some people don’t. I just have to say this though: even Tracy Anderson doubts the efficacy of juice cleanses. That’s saying something.
Last thing… for sure, she’s focused on being a mom. But it’s not like she’s really had to put much of a “career” on the back-burner. Harsh but true.
