Keri Russell has always been petite. But even after her first baby, it didn’t take her long to recover from it and lose weight. While some women struggle so hard to lose weight after giving birth, most of us are wondering, how did Keri manage it? To find out about her secret, read on.
Keri’s Fitness Regime
Keri Russell does exercise by walking, sometimes with grocery bags, most of the time with her child. When asked how she kept her energy up, she responded that if she has the time, she does some exercises. When free she does Pilates exercises, runs, and walks. Her favorite form of fitness is biking. Biking is wonderful fitness for the entire body, especially the lower body. People who want to develop great muscle tone on their legs, back end and hips while trimming their waists and increasing their cardio vascular health should try biking. Biking regularly can significantly decrease a person’s risk for heart disease. Since heart disease is one of the biggest killers of Americans any activity that can decrease your risk of heart disease is something worth pursuing.
Keri Russell never had problems with weight loss courtesy of her genes. She says she loves to eat and she was never on any diets.
“My dad’s whole side of the family is very thin. Thank God I have that gene, because I eat doughnuts like there’s no tomorrow. But I do like to be physical, and I think if I just sat on my ass all day, I’d start seeing the effects.” She tells Health.com when asked if she had gone thought any diet phase.
How to start your own weight loss program
Like the star of Felicity you can also lose weight by doing your daily routines. Research has shown that you lose calories in every activity that you perform. It can be exercises you do maybe with fitness machines or not and with or without exercise programs. It can be as intense as cardio exercises or as mild as reading a book.
Tips on How to Lose Weight
Weight loss can be done successfully using a simple metabolic process. To lose weight, you have to burn more calories in a day that you consume! Weight loss is as simple as understanding that. Decrease your calorie input and increase your calorie output and you will lose weight. To make it easier to burn calories you also have to pick the right fitness training in order to complete the equation. Think of it this way, biking is a great exercise, combine it with a low calorie diet; you will have an excellent success rate in weight loss compared to biking with pizza and a large soda.
Things to consider when looking for the best weight loss program and diet plans
- Is it safe? Some people would go for fast diets, but it may not be the best. Unless you have a health condition that requires a rapid weight loss. Always see to it that your health will not be affected when in a diet plan or weight loss program.
- Is it achievable? When we notice that our weight loss stops, we panic. We immediately look for the most rapid weight loss programs out there. We hire fitness trainers, and we try every weight loss plans known to man. But then after a while we become too busy to continue the next month. So make sure that you have the time to go on with the exercise program.
- How much are you willing to give up? Weight loss also involves a diet plan. Are you willing to give up on chocolates, ice creams, and a whole lot more? When in fitness training, most of these foods are a big no-no, because these are the ones that destroy our diet plan in the first place.

Here at How Celebrities Lose Weight we posted a story about Keri Russell losing her pregnancy weight a few weeks ago. But, now Keri is on the cover of “Self Magazine’s” December 2007 issue, and inside she tells all the specifics about her amazing celebrity weight loss after the birth of her first child. Is it her amazing celebrity workout? What’s her secret? Check out the highlights from the article below, and find out all of Keri’s weight loss secrets that got her into shape within weeks- literally after she had her baby.
What was the secret to getting your body back so quickly?
“I stayed really physical during my pregnancy. I stuck to my normal pre-pregnancy workout, minus the stomach exercises, and twisting. I really felt it helped my whole well-being. Ideally, I do pilates, usually on the reformer, for an hour every other day. And I walked almost every morning in this hilly park near our apartment. I did two laps, or 20 minutes, at a pretty good clip, arms pumping, the whole deal. The nerdy mom walk! I really felt pretty strong and energized until maybe the last month, and I felt great about my growing body. C’mon, I had boobs for the first time! Awesome!”
Have you lost all the baby weight already?
“I think I gained around 25 pounds. I haven’t lost it all, but I feel good about the way I look. Things are definitely less toned now. Hello flabby butt! However, I do feel good about my shoulders and arms. All that baby lifting and carrying leaves you with some pretty toned upper arms.”
Have you started working out again?
“I don’t really have time for the workouts I did pre-baby, but I do walk everywhere.. Not my focused power walk but a general, all-day, park-coffee shop, laundromat, grocery store,subway stairs walk, all while carrying a baby. Babies seem small, but I gotta tell ya, they get heavy after an hour! And I still try to take a private pilates class once a week. I do see some general toning. I’d see more results if I could make it more than once a week, but you know….”
Have you changed your diet at all?
“It’s hard to sit down and make a perfectly healthy meal with a baby who needs constant attention, so for breakfast, I put him in the sling, and walk to the coffee shop, where I get eggs, toast and salad. At home, I just wolf down whatever I can find while he’s sleeping. So it’s like, ‘What do we have? Cereal! And tuna fish! Great!’ Or I’ll eat last night’s leftover Middle Eastern takeout, cold. I’m breast feeding, so I try to eat something other than brownies all day. I attempt to incorporate healthy stuff. I take vitamins, an, thankfully, I actually started liking vegetables a couple of years ago.”
How do you keep a positive body image?
“Look, I’m naturally thin, so I don’t have to work out too hard at it. I love food, but I also love to work out. I think it makes everything work better. But I also think surrounding yourself with people who are cool helps. I have really great girlfriends, and no one’s too hung up about that stuff.”
What’s the best change in your life since becoming a mom?
“Being less worried about the way I look. You’re just instantly less self absorbed. Before, I was in the habit of straightening my hair, but now when I have thirty five minutes to myself, I want to out it in a bun and sleep or go for a walk. There’s no room, no time, no energy for vanity anymore.”
