Shakira's Post-Baby Body Is Bafflingly Amazing, Giving Gisele Bundchen and her post-pregnancy Vogue Brazil cover a run for their money, new mom Shakira and her rock hard abs are making a wave on the front of Self magazine's September issue.
The Voice judge, who welcomed son Milan with soccer player beau Gerard Pique in January, tells the publication that she spent a month working out in Barcelona after giving birth -- a task, she quips, that made her "look like a shar-pei").
"Two minutes of ab work isn't enough," the 36-year-old says, adding that she also adhered to a strict diet of eight small and healthy meals a day.
Despite the hard work on her core, the Colombian crooner says the body part she admires most is her never-lying hip butt.
I don't obsess over my flaws, because I see my body as a whole," Shakira continues. "Besides, I think men appreciate confidence more than perfection."
And that's something men can definitely get behind. Um, no pun intended.
