Charlotte Crosby has made the sad confession that she feels ‘actually embarrassed’ about how unfit she is since giving birth.
The 32-year-old welcomed her first child, a daughter named Alba, with boyfriend Jake Ankers just weeks ago in October.
Former Geordie Shore star Charlotte has now taken to Instagram to share clips of herself working out, telling her fans she feels she is ‘unfit and out of shape,’ but is determined to not be ‘ashamed’.
She wrote to her 8.3million Instagram followers: ‘I didn’t wanna upload these. But then I thought no don’t be ashamed. Your trying your hardest (sic), I can look back at this as progress!
‘I’m actually embarrassed about how unfit and out of shape I am….I feel like I should of tried to keep this up through my pregnancy but my pregnancy was absolutely HORRID,’ she continued alongside a trio of vomiting emojis.
Joking that she needs ‘a good pamper day’, Charlotte went make-up free for her home workout, opting for a pink T-shirt and grey jogging bottoms as she exercised barefoot.
‘My hair needs a good wash I’ve got no workout stuff that fits me and I’m absolutely knackered,’ she wrote.
‘But I’m up and I’m giving it what I can! Because you have to start again somewhere!’
The reality star then shared how she is determined to maintain a level of fitness over 90 days, which will include closing the rings on her Apple watch.
She shared: ‘Determined to close my rings everyday for 90 days! Keeping active and working out again has been an amazing distraction for a lot of sadness that has been surrounding me atm.’
Admitting that juggling her fitness regime with a newborn baby has been getting ‘harder and harder,’ Charlotte also took a moment to plug her fitness app, hailing it ‘an absolute lifesaver’.
She explained, ‘Regardless what time all I have to do is set the phone up on the side, not even leave the house and just get a short workout done.
‘We have absolutely LOADS of short/medium/long workouts on there.’
Charlotte later revealed that she had burnt an impressive 100 calories after just over 10 minutes of working out.
‘Over 100 calories in just 12 mins! From the comfort of my own home once I’m feeling fitter I’ll go for longer sessions but right now this is a perfect place for me!,’ she wrote. ‘Seen as I only had Alba just over 2 months ago. Celebrate every small win.’
Amen to that, Charlotte!
