Gisele Bündchen's Post-Baby Body Secret: Brazilian Body Surf, aka Water Aerobics During Pregnancy

Gisele Bündchen's uncanny ability to morph back into perfect model shape just a month after having a baby has surfaced, and it isn't that deep.

In fact, Bündchen's secret weapon is the swimming pool where her favorite personal trainer teaches.

Fellow Brazilian, Leandro Carvalho, says that his supermodel client was a big fan of Brazilian Body Surf during her pregnancy, the Boston Herald reports. The water-based workouts, an aerobic blend of running and swimming combined with props such as fins, gloves and noodles, create an intense non-impact routine.

Carvalho, who is affiliated with Equinox gyms, can also take credit for the body of Victoria's Secret lingerie model Alessandra Ambrosio.

Carvahlo tells the paper that Bündchen was in "very, very" good shape throughout her pregnancy, in part due to the
"very athletic" workouts, which he says are great for muscle tone.

Maybe all that pool time is why Bündchen opted to give birth to son Benjamin Brady in the bathtub of the Boston apartment she shares hunky hubby/New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.

So, perhaps, it is no surprise that Gisele told People earlier this month that she did not gain much weight during her pregnancy and never really had to wear maternity clothes (rub it in!) and is now focusing on yoga and meditation, when she has time.

And while the beauty may have worked up a sweat during her water workouts, she didn't seem too worried about her date last month with photographer David Sims to shoot the new ad campaign for Brazilian sportswear company Colcci, with whom she has a contract.

Meanwhile, read how Brazilian beauty and "Shear Genius" host Camilla Alves approached getting back into shape right after having her second child with boyfriend Matthew McConaughey.

Giseles post baby secret???!!!!! You really think we care?? If we all had the money, trainers, time and nannies, we would all have great bodies, unfortunately, we live in the real world. I was so upset with the headline, I would not give her the satisfaction of reading the article.

She must not be breast-feeding because breast-feeding boobs do not look like that! And any of you who think it's that easy to jump on a tread-mill, cook super healthy meals and work a full time job (that doesn't include laundry) with a newborn AND with no help...please, I'd like to know how to do it! Good for her looking that great, but realistically, it takes a lot longer.

Gisele obviously has lived an athletic life and exercises and ate healthy the whole time. Good for her and even more so, good for her baby that will benefit for a a lifetime in health benefits from moms lifestyle.
As a prenatal fitness expert, anyone with serious athletic history will look this good in a month or two post baby. most other moms will take about 6 months or so with sufficient exercise and good nutrition.
if pregnancy is not the time to take care of yourself with inherent health benefits for baby, i don't know what.... a baby's health is at stake... expectingfitness com
