Cardi B Begins Postpartum Fitness Journey For Upcoming Tour

Cardi B is easing her way back into fitness as she prepares for a massive touring year ahead. The rapper shared a gym clip to her Instagram Story showing her sweating through a stairmaster session, a video she noted was originally recorded on November 13th and posted on November 20th. Still adjusting to life after giving birth, she told fans she’s intentionally starting slow as she rebuilds her strength. “Tour journey with me,” she wrote. “I haven’t started tour rehearsals yet but I’m doing light workouts to not only get my body back in shape but my joints and bones.. I’m 33 honey I’ma ol’ lady.”

In the clip, Cardi let everyone know this was her official first day returning to the gym. She knocked out more than 20 minutes on the stairmaster before heading toward the squat machine, explaining that her long-term goal is to eventually handle an hour on the stairs without stopping. With a 2026 arena debut on the horizon, she’s focused on getting her endurance where she wants it to be.

This comeback also arrives during a major moment in her personal life. Cardi recently welcomed her fourth child, and her first with NFL star Stefon Diggs, announcing that she gave birth to a baby boy on November 13th. She posted the first look at her newborn on November 19th, a sweet photo that shows her holding her son as he’s wrapped in New England Patriots gear in honor of his father’s team. The post collected more than four million likes as fans celebrated the new addition.

On top of motherhood and training, Cardi is gearing up for the Little Miss Drama Tour, which kicks off February 11th in Palm Desert and travels through dozens of cities before closing out April 17th in Atlanta.
