You Need to Hear Shay Mitchell’s Entirely Refreshing Take on Pregnancy and Parenting

Now that carrying 25-pound Atlas up the stairs is literally no sweat, she shared her impressive AF results with her nearly 30 million Instagram followers, then doubled down, kicking off another four weeks with Babel, who “always looks great,” she admitted, “but he’s incredibly in shape right now.” 

For Mitchell the paint-by-numbers-approach of 4 Weeks of Focus was a huge draw. “I want to do a workout where I’m just told what to do,” she explained. “And that is why personal trainers get paid a lot of money. Because you walk in, and you have someone tell you what to do that is going to give you the results that you want.”

Heenan certainly delivered. “People are always like, ‘Oh, do you feel like you have to snap back?'” Mitchell explained of one of the more frequent postpartum questions. “And my thing in all my conversations after having Atlas was, ‘No, I want to snap forward.’ And I feel like I have. I feel like I’m a better version physically, mentally and emotionally than I was prior to having her.”
