Beyonce covers the April issue of Shape, opening up to the magazine about losing her baby weight and how she’s preparing for her upcoming world tour.
As for how she dropped the 57 pounds she gained while carrying Blue Ivy, the singer reveals, “Breast-feeding took care of the first 30 pounds. I was amazed at how the weight just fell off me.”
She adds, “But I had to work very hard to lose the last 25 because I’d scheduled a show just three months after I gave birth. Let me tell you, I’ll never do that again!”
Beyonce tells the mag, “I’m not a person who is naturally very thin. I am a person who has to work at keeping my body in shape.”
The star says her favorite form of exercise is dancing, and that’s how she’s getting ready for The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour.
Beyonce also offers some word of wisdom to women working to get in shape, saying, “Everyone is not supposed to be the same. Be healthy and take care of yourself, but be happy with the beautiful things that make you, you.”
The mag is out on newsstands now.
Check out a behind-the-scenes VIDEO from Beyonce’s shoot over at Shape.
