Fitspiration: 7 Celeb Moms we Envy for their Fit Bodies

In an ideal world, moms could eat whatever they want and not worry about the consequences. As they say, "A moment on your lips, a lifetime on your hips."

But having that bombshell of a body doesn't come easy. Before biting into that cupcake, feast your eyes on some of the sexiest and fittest moms in local tinseltown -- and maybe--just maybe--you might change your mind about that cupcake.

1. Jennylyn Mercado 

The 27-year-old Mom to Alex Jazz, 5 years old, brought down the 40 pounds she gained during her pregnancy through breastfeeding. Since then, she has maintained her weight and slim physique through a variety of sports and workouts, from running, biking, swimming, pilates even Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai. 

In this year’s FHM 100 Sexiest, Jennylyn landed the #4 spot. She has appeared on thrice on the cover of FHM Philippines. 

Here are some photos from Jennylyn’s Instagram account:

2. Delamar Arias

As one of the biggest endorsers of a weight loss center, the 40-year-old radio sweetheart has been gracing billboards and print ads all over the metro, flaunting her more toned body. She credits her transformation to a non-invasive treatment which makes use of radio frequency to eliminate stubborn fat and firm up the skin.

Delamar has also credited yoga and hiking in the past as some of her favorite forms of exercise. 
The well-known DJ has been on the cover of Smart Parenting’s January-February 2014 and October 2012  issues, together with her son Cooper.

3. Ina Raymundo

It’s hard to forget the sexy star who made her television debut in a beer commercial back in 1995. 19 years after, at 36 years old, she still looks just as fit—but stronger and healthier. 

 

What’s the catch, you might ask? She has five kids (Erika, 8; Jacob, 6; Mikaela, 2; Anika, 4; and Minka,1) with her husband, Canadian businessman Brian Poturnak. She says breastfeeding helped her bring her weight down after each delivery, as well as dieting and exercise. 

Ina also spends a lot of time doing Zumba, TRX suspension training, boxing, and working out at the gym to keep in top form. She eats healthy and counts calories to monitor her diet. She has appeared in the November 2013 issue of Men’s Health.

4. Sarah Lahbati 

There’s no denying just how gorgeous Swiss-Filipino actress Sarah Lahbati is. And despite becoming a mom at the age of 19 to her baby Zion, she whittled down the weight in no time at all. 

You can see the evidence in our behind-the-scenes photos during their cover shoot for our July issue. 

In an interview with pep.ph, Sarah revealed she has never eaten pork, and in an Inquirer feature shares how boxing has helped her de-stress and stay in shape. She also mentions in the same article how she would go hiking as a child, growing up in Switzerland.

She also does TRX suspension training:

5. Aubrey Miles 

In 2009, sexy actress Aubrey Miles confessed to already having an eight-year-old son, Maurie, with a former boyfriend. In 2009, she gave birth to her second son, Hunter, with long-time partner Troy Montero.

In an interview with pep.ph, Aubrey shares that even if she is a mom in real life, she still hasn’t been offered to do any mommy roles because she doesn’t look like one. 

The 36-year-old mother of two is uber dedicated to her diet and fitness regimen, and enjoys a variety of activities, from swimming, wall climbing, tennis, biking, weight lifting, and Plana Forma. 

Here she is as featured in the July 2014 issue of Men's Health:

Aubrey Miles has appeared on the cover of FHM three times already: in July 2009, August 2004 and in September 2002. Check out Aubrey’s more recent photos, and you’ll notice that much hasn’t changed when it comes to her body.   

 

6. Phoemela Baranda

In October 2013, model, actress and host Phoemela Baranda revealed on national television that she already has a daughter, Kim (aka Nichole of Pinoy Big Brother All In), now 16 years old. Phoemela has been modeling since the age of 13. 

The 34-year-old mom keeps toned with a combination of TRX, Plana Forma, yoga, boxing and juicing.

7. Maggie Wilson

These days, it’s getting harder to tell how long a celeb has given birth because they spring back to their svelte pre-preggy bodies so quickly. 

Such is the case of one of our May cover moms, 24-year-old beauty queen and fashion designer, Maggie Wilson, who looks absolutely stunning on the cover with her son Connor. Connor turns 2 this year.

As Maggie reveals in an interview, she prepared her body for her pregnancy, avoiding fast food, junk food, and sweets. 

On a blog post on her website, haute-affair.com, Maggie reveals her secrets to keeping the pounds at bay during her pregnancy, and how she quickly shed them after giving birth. She would do light exercises while pregnant, such as walking and swimming. She is also into juicing to keep the extra weight to a minimum.
