Mariah Careyreveals that getting back into shape after giving birth to twins has meant more than going to the gym. This is something every new Mom would like to know. She has admitted that it wasn't an easy feat to get her figure back, particularly after gaining so much weight during her pregnancy.
"I realize that 90 percent of losing weight is my diet," Carey, 43, who promotes the Jenny Craig plan, says in the May issue of Shape magazine. "Today my workout routine is more about getting and staying toned," she says. "And for me, that means either taking hour-long walks a few times a week or jumping in the pool three or four days a week to do 45 minutes of aquatic exercises."
The star, who is married to Nick Cannon, admitted to the magazine that being pregnant with Monroe and Moroccan was a tricky time for her. "Pregnancy was probably the best and the hardest thing I'll ever go through."I know for a lot of women, it can be wonderful and relatively easy. But for me, it was like "Okay, honey, do you have to do everything the hard way?"" she added.
