Demi Moore cycled 60 miles a day to lose weight after her second pregnancy


Demi Moore cycled 60 miles a day to lose weight after her second pregnancy

Demi Moore recalled the grueling training program she underwent after the birth of her second daughter, Scout Willis, in 1991.

At that time, the actress, who lived with her then-husband Bruce Willis in Malibu, California, decided to cycle 30 miles to work and back home every day while filming Indecent Proposal.

“I fed them all night, got up in the dark on a trainer… biked all the way to Paramount, even to the set; then I shot a full day, which is normally a 12-hour day; and then I started all over again,” Moore said in a new interview with “CBS Sunday Morning.”

“I think (Scout) was about five or six months old when we filmed,” she added.

Moore also admitted that she had unrealistic expectations about her postpartum recovery.

“I put so much pressure on myself,” said the 61-year-old “Ghost” star in the interview on Sunday.

“I’ve had people tell me to lose weight before. And while that may have been embarrassing and humiliating, it was something I did to myself.”

“Just the thought of what I’ve done to my body is so crazy, so ridiculous,” the “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle” star continued.

She added that getting back in shape after giving birth was “probably not that important.”

Still, Moore said that getting her pre-pregnancy body back meant “everything” to her “back then.”

The Emmy-nominated actress welcomed three daughters during her 13-year marriage to 69-year-old Bruce.

Rumer was born in 1988, followed by Scout in 1991 and Tallulah in 1994.

Moore and her ex-husband separated in 2000, but the family still spends a lot of time together despite Bruce’s battle with frontotemporal dementia.

The “Die Hard” actor was diagnosed with aphasia and dementia in March 2022, resulting in his retirement from acting.

Tallulah, 30, recently gave a nice update about her father in an interview with E! News in August.

“There’s so much love in our visits and I feel like that trumps everything for me,” she told the outlet. Tallulah also explained that Bruce is doing “the same thing,” which is “a good thing” in his situation.
