Shay Mitchell recently unveiled her newly toned post-baby body after admitting that she tossed her ‘fitness routine out the window’ following the birth of her son Atlas in 2019.

And the stunner, 33, lived up to her Instagram snapshots on Wednesday afternoon as she confidently posed in a charcoal crop top and matching joggers during a photoshoot in Santa Monica.

Werk it! Shay Mitchell recently unveiled her newly toned post-baby body on Wednesday, after admitting that she tossed her ‘fitness routine out the window’ following the birth of her son Atlas in 2019

Shay had a drink in hand and let out a boisterous laugh as her ponytail blew around in the wind.

The cropped nature of her top allowed her to showcase her taut midriff as she posed effortlessly for the camera lens.

Shay kept her dark brown peepers concealed behind a pair of black RayBan shades, while her flawless complexion glowed in the softened sunlight.

To complete her athleisure look, the Pretty Little Liars star slipped her feet into a pair of black Birkenstock-inspired sandals that displayed her fresh pedicure.

In an Instagram post shared earlier in the day, Shay proudly showcased her postpartum bod in a grey sports bra.

As the actress unveiled the results of her intense fitness progress over a four-week period, she reflected on craving normalcy amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.  

‘2020 was the year of searching for something to make us feel good,’ the actress captioned a before-and-after photo of herself standing at home in front of a full-length mirror on Wednesday afternoon.

She continued: ‘For me that came in the form of comfort food, comfort clothes and throwing my fitness routine out the window.’ 

‘And that was okay…for awhile. They’re called unprecedented times for a reason,’ she told her more than 29.5 Instagram followers. ‘But I also learned about physical and mental self-care, and made a pact with myself that 2021 would be different.’ 

In January, she ‘made a pact’ to take better care of herself, in order to be the best mom to her daughter, Atlas, who she welcomed in October 2019. 

'I’m the best version of myself for Atlas - and everyone else - when I take care of myself first,' she declared

‘I’m the best version of myself for Atlas – and everyone else – when I take care of myself first,’ the beauty, who has been dating actor Matte Babel since 2017, declared. 

To get her ‘sh*t together,’ Mitchell partnered with Openfit, which offers live personal trainer-led classes every week and easy-to-follow meal plans for users.

‘Working out with @thedailykelsey and @steph_shep, in just 4 weeks I have felt more fit than I have in a long time, and already have the results to show,’ she revealed.

Mitchell praised the digital streaming fitness platform for being ‘exactly’ what she needed and having classes with a ‘doable time frame.’

She revealed her gym-honed figure and lean midriff came as a result of ’30 minutes a day for 5 days a week for 4 weeks.’ 

‘I have loved getting up these last four weeks and having a routine and a challenge to start the day. I feel more healthy, energetic and engaged…which makes a better me,’ she concluded.
