Megan Young: "I love getting stronger for myself so that I can be stronger for my family."
Megan Young shared her fitness journey by giving a glimpse at how her body changed from one month to a year after giving birth to her son, Leon.
In an Instagram post, the celebrity mom shared that she slowly got back into fitness after getting cleared by her OB-GYN.
“Months 1-4 I was doing light walking, eventually lifting weights again but still wasn't at the point that I wanted to be. I was still 25lbs over my pre-pregnancy weight. In total, I gained 50 lbs during my pregnancy,” she wrote.
By her fifth month postpartum, the Miss World 2013 revealed she caught dengue, which limited her physical activity. By the sixth to ninth month, the actress was able to take on heavier lifts with the help of a coach.
She went on, “Month 10 I reached out to @myragolloso when I saw @boomsason 's stories about her working out. She's been coaching both Fofo and I since then and I have never felt better.”
Megan also said that her postpartum fitness journey was worth it.
“We've been working HARD for the past two months. Work out kahit nakabakasyon, tracking my food intake every single day. It has been so worth it. I love getting stronger for myself so that I can be stronger for my family,” she added.
In the comments section, Megan received supportive and lovely messages from her fellow moms like Iya Villania, Anne Curtis, and Jessy Mendiola.
