R&B artist Ashanti is enthusiastically embracing both fitness and motherhood. Merely three days after resuming her exercise regimen, she skillfully managed to combine her workout with pumping breast milk for her newborn son, Kareem Kenkaide Haynes, whom she had with her husband, the rapper Nelly.

This Tuesday marked her third gym session since her childbirth in August. While working out, Ashanti realized she needed to pump milk. Fortunately, she discovered that the rhythmic motion of the elliptical machine was ideal for expressing milk and burning off calories at the same time.

Following her pumping session, Ashanti proceeded with her floor routine, engaging in core-strengthening exercises. Her commitment to regain her fitness by next summer is palpable, with expectations high for her beach-ready appearance. “It’s a safe bet next summer she’s gonna be in a bikini like nobody’s biz,” a source commented.

Sweating it out did not dampen Ashanti’s pride in her new role as a mother. She also plans to co-host an event with her sister Shia Douglas, which will focus on increasing awareness about domestic violence, a cause close to her heart.

Ashanti’s ability to juggle her new maternal duties with her personal and professional life is garnering admiration from her fans. Her efforts to stay fit while also nurturing her child demonstrate her incredible resilience and dedication. As she navigates this new phase, Ashanti is clearly committed to maintaining her well-being and embracing her role as a mother with both strength and grace.
