Nelly’s wife Ashanti proved she is the queen of multitasking during an intense workout session, just two months after after giving birth to a baby boy.
While documenting her recent return to the the gym, the first-time mom, 43, filmed herself working up a sweat while pumping breast milk.
In a new video, uploaded to her Instagram Story on Tuesday, the singer gave her 8.7 million Instagram followers a behind-the-scenes glimpse of her grueling postpartum workout routine.
As she rocked a light blue sports bra and matching leggings, the performer (born Ashanti Shequoiya Douglas-Haynes) could be seen wearing wearing electric hands-free breast pumps.
‘Got to finish [pumping] before I get on the StairMaster,’ she said in the recording.

Ashanti said that Nelly, whose real name is Cornell Iral Haynes Jr., was the person who named their son.
‘His dad named him with a lot of pride’ and thought the name was ‘really, really dope,’ Ashanti told the outlet.
Ashanti told the outlet that she and her spouse welcomed their child ahead of schedule, and Nelly flew in at the last moment to be there for the birth.
‘Having all of us in the delivery room and seeing his face for the first time, I cried it was just so emotional and spiritual at the same time,’ Ashanti told the outlet.
The singer of hits such as Foolish and Rock wit U (Awww Baby) said that ‘it was such an electrifying feeling’ as she became a parent for the first time, as she had ‘a vision of this moment for so long.’
Ashanti said that she was fully committed to parenthood, saying, ‘My son definitely dictates everything now, he is the priority overall and I don’t care what it will take, what I have to do, I’m just going to give everything and my all to my son.
She added that ‘this little boy has my entire soul wrapped around his finger.’
The singer advised other new mothers to follow their gut instincts ‘and keep strong no matter what the obstacles bring.’

Ashanti told the outlet, ‘Your child absolutely feels your energy. Make sure that the baby feels secure and safe and you have to have space for you as well.
‘Don’t get too lost into the world of the baby. I think that it’s really important to create a balance.’
Ashanti, whose son with Nelly is her first child, added, ‘I’m super brand new so I’m not trying to give the golden advice.’
The couple have been wed since late last year.
