Gorgeous Jessica Alba may be known for her rock-hard killer bod, but the actress had no problem proudly posing VERY pregnant for the August cover of Latina magazine.
“If you are sporting a pregnant belly, it’s better to show it than to hide it,” says Alba. “If you look in the mirror and you look really wide and frumpy, then you’re going to appear really wide and frumpy. The more figure-forming your clothes, even though you have more curves, the better.”
HOT SHOTS: Jessica Alba.
Pregnant or not, Alba could never be considered frumpy.
Before her first child, the “Spy Kids 4” star usually worked out for an hour a day, five days a week with her former trainer, Ramona Braganza.
“For the most part, we did what I refer to as my 321 training method, which combines intervals of cardio and strength training in a workout,” Braganz told FOX411.com. “The cardio would usually include running on the treadmill, intervals on the elliptical and the recumbent bike. The circuit training would include a leg exercise followed by a back exercise, and then either shoulders or biceps. Sometimes we would mix it up with a circuit of legs, chest and triceps.”

Expecting her first child with husband Cash Warren at the time, Alba was determined to stay fit.
“When Jess became pregnant, we kept the routine up for the first trimester,” Braganza explained. “However, the second trimester we dropped the amount of time that we did cardio and decreased the intensity as her pregnancy progressed—we remained seated for many of the exercises and used lighter weights. By Jess’ third trimester, we focused more on walking, doing stretches specific to her pregnancy to help alleviate lower back pain, and stretching tight hamstrings. We also made sure to include several deep-breathing exercises.”
