Ciara has been flaunting her incredibly toned [1] "Goodies" for the last two decades, but believe us when we tell you, her muscular figure takes a lot of hard work. In the November issue of Cosmopolitan, the 32-year-old singer opened up about her postbaby workout regimen [2] since welcoming Sienna Princess Wilson in April [3] of last year, and it's very intense.

"It was kind of like, wake up in the morning, breastfeed, eat a small meal, go train, come back in, breastfeed, eat another meal, go train, then come back, have another meal, and then a third training session at night," she told the publication. "It was a good challenge, one I set for myself, not for anyone else."

Working out three times a day is a lot, especially after just giving birth [4], but Ciara emphasized that it's for the mental benefits as well as the physical. She said, "Taking care of myself makes me feel really good. And I want to keep it sexy too, you know." Before we pick our jaws up off the floor and run to the gym, let us remind you that it's important to consult a doctor before starting an intense routine like Ciara's [5].

This isn't the first time Ciara's opened up about her routine and her constant desire to "Level Up." [6] After giving birth to her first child, Future, in 2014, she lost 60 pounds in four months [7] thanks to a rigorous training routine and her love for the treadmill. "I would go to Gunnar [Peterson] first for my one-hour training session, then I'd have two more cardio sessions later in the day. That, along with a really clean eating plan, was how I lost 60 pounds in four months," Ciara told Shape back in 2015 [8].

While all women ease into a fitness routine after giving birth [9] differently, we have to hand it to Ciara — her determination and dedication are unshakable.
