Elle King is sharing the story of post-partum mental and physical health with fans.

In a social media post on Wednesday (Aug. 23), Elle says:

Almost 2 years postpartum ! I am making this post to share my journey from 284 lbs at 5’3 from pregnancy 2021 – now 2023. It doesn’t happen over night. It didn’t even happen in a year for me. In fact, it’s an on going still working towards ever changing goals kinda thing. So why am I sharing this? I fell into a very deep depression during my pregnancy. I also didn’t even realize how intense postpartum depression is and was until I very slowly began to crawl out. I felt trapped in my body. I couldn’t even sing. So I started slow.

She describes how she started short workouts, light cardio, and more… changing her habits slowly with time. In the video, you can see her typical workout routine.
