NFL star Russell Wilson's wife Ciara says exercising thrice a day to shed her pregnancy weight made her feel good

American singer Ciara has revealed that she trained thrice a day after giving birth to daughter Sienna, one, with National Football League (NFL) star Russell Wilson. She explained that she did so for her mental health and she squeezed in time in between breastfeeding.

Speaking about her workout routine, Ciara told Cosmopolitan magazine: "It was kind of like, wake up in the morning, breastfeed, eat a small meal, go train, come back in, breastfeed, eat another meal, go train, then come back, have another meal, and then a third training session at night." Ciara, who set to release her seventh music album, added that she did not work out for her own satisfaction.
