instagramWant to know how Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi got back into her pre-baby skinny jeans less than two weeks after giving birth to her daughter Giovanna Marie LaValle?
E! News caught up with her trainer extraordinaire, Anthony Michael of Florham Park Fitness, who gushed about his client and detailed exactly what she did to stay lean throughout her pregnancy.
"Nicole is very dedicated, I can accomplish anything with her, she's always driven," he shared.
And with her wedding coming up, Snooki is under a strict timeline to feel her best.
"I have to get her back down to her normal weight in 8-10 weeks," he told us, adding that earlier this week she weighed in at 107 pounds. (Keep in mind, she's only 4'9"!)
"During this pregnancy, she was only like 128 pounds at her heaviest, and her goal was to maintain muscle mass throughout the pregnancy. We weren't worried about fat, just maintaining her muscle mass. That was the key about quickly bouncing back after pregnancy. "
Both Snooki and her trainer are being cautious about going too hard in the gym and are making sure they follow her doctor's orders.
"Whatever her doctor says, that's what we follow. She could start an easy walk when she's four weeks out, then six weeks out, weight training, cardio and plyometrics," he explained.
And it's not all about logging in grueling hours in the gym, Michael reveals.
"I am a trainer, but I'm the first one to tell you it's not all about working out, it's how you eat. She ate my food throughout her entire pregnancy. She did have cravings, she did eat pickles, ice cream here and there. But she got the calories, nutrients she needed, the protein she needed, through my food program. Calories were slightly increased, and she was in the right category for pregnant women."
He added that Snooki understandably wants to "be in perfect shape for her wedding," which, by the looks of it, should be no problem for the MTV reality star!
