Just seven weeks after giving birth, Hasselbeck donned a bikini to show off her post-baby body in FITNESS magazine. Athletic Hasselbeck, who did daily six-mile runs before getting pregnant, joined La Palestra, a New York City medical and fitness center, to get back in pre-baby shape. Her trainer there had her warm up with 10 minutes of cardio on the bike, elliptical, or stairclimber followed by strength-training exercises. Instead of daily long runs which can lead to overtraining and injury, Hasselbeck alternated between quarter-mile sprints, two-mile runs, then sprints again, with a weekly run of four to six miles.
