Megan Young gives tips to fellow moms for postpartum fitness: 'Every momma's journey is different'

It may seem as if Megan Young bounced back from her pregnancy quickly, but the Kapuso actress said she initially could not "recognize myself and I didn't love myself enough."

On Facebook, Megan shared more about her postpartum journey, including tips for fellow moms.

"Having so many changes in your body after giving birth can really mess with your mind," she said.

"But even on my worst days and days when I didn't feel 'motivated' I really tried to get in some movement. Mommas, I see ya!!! It’s not easy!!!" she added.

That said, Megan listed down the process she went through to get back into shape and feeling more like herself.

She said that she first waited for her doctor's approval to start getting movement in. Once she got it, she started by walking and doing home workouts, "as in marching in place ... 'pag tulog si Leon noon, eto ginagawa ko."

Afterwards, she went to work on her core with the help of a program by Mindy, a "certified mommy tummy specialist."

She soon leveled up her workouts by following Maddie, a YouTube workout instructor, and SWEAT app workouts.

"At 10 months post partum, I wasn’t pumping/breastfeeding anymore so I felt ready to level up & started lifting heavy with MyraG _IFBB PRO ‘s guidance. After 2 months of working out with her, I decided to go for a calorie deficit," she said.

She reminded fellow mothers that "every momma’s journey is different."

"Listen to your body. Cheering for you mommas out there," she added.

Earlier this month, Megan shared she lost 20 lbs post-pregnancy and that she "took no shortcuts."

She started working out consistently in March, and by July, she has started noticing more defined abs.

"But we're not stopping here," she said. "Road to building muscle, here we go!"

Megan and husband Mikael Daez welcomed their son Leon in 2025. They got married in 2020.
