Jenna Dewan Tatum, wife of former Chippendale style dancer Channing Tatum, put more than 30 pounds on her 5-foot-3 frame during her recent pregnancy. The Witches of East End star had only six weeks to lose the baby weight before the new season of her show began shooting. Maybe, the newly chunky Channing should take a few tips from his leading lady.
Exercise is nothing new to former backup dancer Jenna. The star is use to being proactive but admits that this time she took it to a whole new level. Jenna recently told Us Weekly she didn’t waste a moment getting started:
“As soon as i found out i was pregnant, i called [my trainer] Jen Johnson. We found areas we wanted to target: arms and legs. I wanted to keep the muscles alive. Plus, I felt so much better. Working out kept me sane. i would feel a burst of energy and all my hormone would regulate.”
Diet apparently wasn’t an issue for the 33-year-old, who stuck to a vegan diet. She told Us Weekly that she has been on it nearly all her life.
“I declared I was vegan when I was 13. I grew up in Texas, so that was not the norm. At restaurants, i was the one asking for vegetables plate. I love eating healthy.”
In short, it was no problem at all for Jenna to lose the weight that some struggle to lose their whole lives. So, perhaps she deserves to have her sex symbol husband swell up like a whale, when she gets pregnant.
