Katherine Heigl is as funny as she is sexy. The Suits actress posted a photo in a bikini to Instagram on Sunday, February 10, and shared her no-fail trick to flat abs.
“So this pic came up in my photo memories from last year and I have one very important thing to say,” the actress wrote in the caption. “I’m sucking it in sooooooo hard I think I permanently pushed my organs into my spine.”
In the photo, the Grey’s Anatomy alum, 40, shows toned arms, abs and legs in a bright orange bikini and oversized sunglasses while sitting poolside on a lounge chair. Her husband, Josh Kelley, sits on a chair behind her.
Heigl and the singer, 39, adopted daughters Naleigh, 10, and Adalaide, 6, in 2009 and 2012 respectively. Heigl gave birth to their 2-year-old son Joshua Jr. in December 2016.
About 14 months after welcoming her son, the Knocked Up star shared three progress pictures from that time. The series ended with the actress showing her six-pack — and revealing the fitness routine that got her back in peak shape.
“I have a beach vacation coming up, a new job I start filming in April and my deep desire to feel fit, strong and sexy propelling me forward the last two months to finally [lose] the last of my baby weight and do a deep dive search for the ab muscles I knew were buried under that belly somewhere!” Heigl wrote in the February 2018 caption. She revealed that she had been following the BBG program (Bikini Body Guide) founded by Instagram fitfluencer Kayla Itsines, who is now expecting a baby herself.
“I won’t lie,” Heigl continued in her post from last year, “the workouts are real ass kickers but the progress I’ve made in only 5 short weeks has kept me motivated and inspired to keep going! I am so grateful I’ve had a full year to find those ab muscles and get my butt back up where it belongs.”
