Flaunting her fabulous figure on the red carpet, Angelina credited her dramatic weight loss to a “great dress” and genetics. But insiders say that star has been working hard to get back in shape.
Having delivered twins Vivienne and Knox by caesarean in July, the 33-year-old mum was urged to take it easy in the initial six weeks after giving birth. But as soon as she was given the all-clear, insiders say Angelina flew in a personal trainer from Los Angeles to help her workout at the couple’s luxury French chateau.
In the lead-up to her red-carpet return, a Jolie-Pitt source told Life & Style magazine that “she’s doing a lot of cardio” and often works out twice a day.
Finding traditional exercise routines “boring” the source also adds that Angelina has incorporated martial arts into her training regime, alongside lifting weights and is planning to include Tomb Raider-style ballet ropes in the his-and-hers gyms at their luxury chalet.
As well as increasing her physical, Angelina has also been watching what she eats, although friends say she still enjoys the occasional slice of pizza.
Following the principles of “the upside down diet” the actress enjoys a large breakfast, followed by small meals for the rest of the day.
“For breakfast, Ange will have a big meal, like a healthy full English breakfast with grilled bacon and poached eggs, or an omelette with wholemeal toast, following by yoghurt,” an insider told a British magazine.
“Then lunch will be a pile of steamed vegetables and protein, such as poached salmon and maybe a small risotto, while dinner will just be home-made vegetable soup.”
Throughout the day, Angelina snacks on fresh fruit, especially berries.
