Less than two months after giving birth, Maren Morris is easing her way back into her workout routine, according to her Nashville-based trainer Erin Oprea.
We are back to training again and she is a badass and Im so proud of her," Oprea told Us Weekly. "She worked up until basically the day, I think we trained like a day or two before she had the baby. And then were back at it."
Though Oprea has been encouraging Maren to take it easy and enjoy life as a new mom, she said they're doing basic bodyweight exercises to get back into the swing of things.
Were not doing a lot of core stuff yet. We are not cleared for any of that yet. So were just doing, everything right now is very basic, Opera said, noting that there's a real risk of injury for new mothers. "So were just doing basic lunges, squats, lightweight training, no jumping, none of that yet. And we will slowly build up and well be back to doing everything before we know it.
For new mothers looking to starting working out again, Oprea suggests walking. "Nothing feels better than a good walk. Getting out and getting vitamin D. Theres nothing that can change your mood," she said. "Like you could be in the worst mood if you just get out and go for a walk and you have that sunshine on you. I mean that just puts you in the best mood."
It seems to be working for Maren: Over the weekend, she posted a celebratory photo of herself drinking champagne and holding her baby boy, Hayes Hurd. "Turns out, my name CAN be mama today. " she captioned the post.
Maren's husband, singer and songwriter Ryan Hurd, also posted a tribute for Mother's Day. "You are proof that you dont have to choose between being a great parent and having the life you always wanted," he wrote. "I am very proud to be the other half of the equation and our boy is the luckiest kid in the world to have you as his mom."
