AceShowbiz - Singer Ashanti has demonstrated her multitasking prowess by working out while pumping breast milk, just two months after giving birth to her son. Ashanti, who welcomed her first child with rapper Nelly in July, shared her grueling postpartum workout routine on her Instagram Story. In a video, the 43-year-old showed herself wearing electric hands-free breast pumps while doing cardio on the StairMaster.
"Gotta finish [pumping] before I get on the StairMaster," she said in the recording. Ultimately, she joked that she decided to "f**k it" and keep the pumps on while exercising. "Let's go," she captioned another video of herself on the elliptical, before moving on to core workouts on a yoga mat.
Ashanti also explained the meaning of her son's name. Kenkaide is in honor of her father, while Kareem means "generous, kind, and dignified" in Arabic. "His dad named him with a lot of pride," she said, referring to Nelly.
The singer advised new mothers to follow their gut instincts, make sure their babies feel secure and safe, and create a balance between their own needs and those of their child. "I'm super brand new so I'm not trying to give the golden advice," she added.
Ashanti and Nelly have been married since late last year.
