“Dancing with the Stars” and “Bachelor” alum Melissa Rycroft stopped by our New York office to chat via satellite with Billy Bush & Kit Hoover for Access Hollywood Live. Melissa, who is five months pregnant, was all smiles, beaming, “the baby’s cooking,” while flaunting her barely-there baby bump.
Melissa dressed casual in her Reebok workout gear told me the only exercise she’s doing is walking.
“The baby has told me to slow down,” reveals the self-declared workout junkie, “I was a big runner, hiker, and did a lot of weight training. I worked out 7 days a week.”
Not anymore!
Walking is the only exercise Melissa is able to do during her pregnancy. “I walk everywhere. I’ve heard it’s so important to stay fit throughout my pregnancy so that it will be easier for me to work off the post-baby weight,” the 27-year old mommy-to-be reveals. Melissa claims wearing Reebok EasyTone sneakers intensifies her walks. The balance pods built into these shoes reportedly help to tone key leg & butt muscles. “Since I can’t do much about my expanding middle, I want to try and keep my lower half toned. When I put on these sneakers I can feel where it’s working in my body,” Melissa adds. Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney Kardashian also wear these slimming sneaks. As for me, I have never worn EasyTone, so I have no clue if they really help firm up legs & butts. But, promises of a better butt without working out could entice me to try lacing up my own pair. …Hmmm! Might have to report back in a future Healthy Hollywood if these sneakers really do tighten and tone.
