Gisele Bündchen Celebrates Her, Joaquim Valente's Baby Turning One With Sweet Photos
Gisele Bündchen is focused on fitness.
Specifically, core-strengthening workouts after giving birth to her and husband Joaquim Valente's baby boy early last year.
"I really feel these exercises have been amazing," the supermodel—who also shares kids Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13, with ex Tom Brady—said in a Feb. 23 Instagram video. "They really have helped me gain my core strength back after my third pregnancy. I wish I knew them before, because I didn't do them in my other pregnancies."
Getting down on her hands and feet, Gisele then demonstrated her Pilates-based workouts, which consisted of raising her torso and knees up in the air as she exhaled and tightened her core muscles.
The 45-year-old started her postpartum fitness journey by doing sets of five of these exercises, before increasing the number to 20.
"This is simply me sharing my personal postpartum experience and what worked for my body," Gisele wrote in the accompanying caption. "After my last baby, I started these five slow, intentional movements around eight weeks postpartum. No traditional crunches, just gentle, conscious work that helped me reconnect with my core."
Calling the exercises a "game changer," the mom of three added, "I took almost a full year to return to my regular workouts, and I truly believe slowing down made all the difference for me. It helped me rebuild my deeper core and protect my back."
But working out is only part of Gisele's key to wellness. As she once put it, "Being healthy is more than a clean diet and exercise."
"It's about our attitudes, emotions, beliefs, thoughts and actions," she wrote on Instagram in 2023. "When life gets challenging always remember that the sun rises everyday bringing a new opportunity for us to try again and do better. It can get intense out there and we can get easily distracted by the noise. Awareness is key."

And that's why Gisele will often unplug and unwind with her kids and Joaquin, who she married in December, three years after her divorce from Tom.
"As the new year unfolds, my heart is full of gratitude for the moments spent recharging with my family," she wrote in a Jan. 13 Instagram post. "Here’s to making 2026 a truly joyful and meaningful year."
