Cardi B<\/strong><\/a> clapped back at a fan who criticized her for getting back into a workout routine one week after giving birth to baby No. 3.<\/p>\n The \u201cBodak Yellow\u201d rapper, 31, shared an Instagram Story video of her working out on Stairmaster on Sunday, September 15. \u201cWhew, we\u2019re not playing with y\u2019all\u201d she said while working up a sweat. Cardi then proudly showed off how she completed a 30-minute cardio session on the device.<\/p>\n A fan account on X reposted Cardi\u2019s video<\/a>, to which one person commented<\/a>, \u201cIt\u2019s barely been a week. Yoh, the pressure women in the industry are under? Insane,\u201d referring to how she welcomed a daughter with estranged husband Offset<\/strong> on September 7.<\/p>\n The Grammy winner shared the comment and defended her workout on Monday, September 16.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is my third baby and postpartum is a little different from my first two \u2026 I\u2019m not doing heaving lifting, no muscle straining, squatting none of that \u2026 just cardio,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n \u201cSometimes to avoid postpartum depression you gotta keep your mind busy and for me that\u2019s work and staying active \u2026 but you know what\u2019s funny?? Y\u2019all dragged me down when I gained 15 pounds<\/a> because I was five months pregnant but now y\u2019all fake concerned and wanna talk about pressure???\u201d Cardi continued.<\/p>\n \u201cY\u2019all said I was pregnant to avoid working now that you see I\u2019m still at it it\u2019s something else?? So yeah, I\u2019m taking this personal but it\u2019s FOR ME because either way y\u2019all are gonna have something to say,\u201d the \u201cWAP\u201d artist concluded.<\/p>\n Cardi seemed to double down by sharing another workout video of her on a Stairmaster later in the day via her Instagram Stories. She rocked a plunging black top and leggings while wearing a waist trainer.<\/p>\n Earlier on September 16, the Love & Hip Hop<\/em> alum shared a mirror selfie of her in the same outfit.<\/p>\n \u201cI wear the waist trainer one hour a day. Wear a large faja with board while working [out] and a xxxs faja throughout the day,\u201d she wrote, referring to the compression garment.<\/p>\n Cardi announced on September 12 that she and Offset, 32, welcomed a baby girl, sharing a series of Instagram photos<\/a> shortly after giving birth. She wrote in the caption, \u201cThe prettiest lil thing\u201d along with pink flower emojis.<\/p>\n The Hustlers<\/em> actress included a photo in her hospital room of Offset holding his new daughter alongside the estranged couple\u2019s older children, daughter Kulture and son Wave. Cardi also included a snapshot breastfeeding her newborn.<\/p>\n The \u201cDrip\u201d rapper filed for divorce<\/a> for a second time during her 7-year marriage to Offset on July 31. She requested primary custody of Kulture, 6, and Wave, 3.<\/p>\n![\"cardi](\"https:\/\/www.lifeandstylemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/cardi-b-waist-trainer-1.png?fit=400%2C717&quality=86&strip=all\")
