Zoe Saldana Slips Back Into Guardians of the Galaxy Suit After Having Twins: 'It Pays Off to Work Hard!'

Mission accomplished!

Zoe Saldana has been working so hard to get back into pre-baby shape since welcoming twins Cy Aridio and Bowie Ezio on Thanksgiving last year. And recently, the actress reached a mini milestone and enjoyed the fruits of her hard labor.

"Holy S---! You guys, I had to share this, this is one of the old #guardiansofthegalaxy costumes that I wore back in 2013. After twins I can't believe I was able to slip into this," Saldana, 37, posted on Instagram showing off her figure in her character Gamora's suit. "It pays off to work hard! I mean it mommies of the world, if I did it you can too."

And the mother of two isn't teasing any spoilers from the forthcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 sequel.

"@marvel and @jamesgunn don't be mad, I'm not showing anything that hasn't been seen before... besides, aren't we designing new stuff?"

In addition to sharing her preparations to reprise her role as the green-skinned leading lady, Saldana had been updating fans about her post-baby fitness routines.

The star described her pregnancy as "a very challenging experience when it pertains to my body," also revealing that she had weighed 185 lbs. at her heaviest in a Facebook post back in April.

"My body was really bent out of shape after the boys were born. Bouncing back feels impossible, but I know it is important as a woman, and now a mommy, to not give up," she continued. "I am determined to get my energy back and find balance for my body before these little guys start walking, and before I go back to work, my clock is ticking!"


Zoe Saldana Dishes On The Hardships Of Being A Working Mom — This Lady's Gotta 'Pay Bills' Y'all!

Zoe Saldana may be a successful actress, but she's just like all the other mommas out there!
On April 2, Zoe opened up her post-baby body and how she's dealing with the prospect of going back to work after giving birth to her twin boys, Cy and Bowie, four months ago.

Obviously, Saldana and her hubby, Marco Prego, are not looking forward to leaving those adorable faces behind — it's a struggle for the pair to even go out on date nights!
The Guardians of the Galaxy star revealed:
"I'm pretty sure that every parent — not just every mom — would [take time off] as long as your work doesn't suffer. But we have to pay bills and at the end of the day, I think that's the best example we can set to our children. We're very determined and we can't just leave everything behind and just focus on them. But it's painful."
We totally get the momma's inner struggle! At the end of the day you have to do what's best for your family and sometimes what's right isn't always easy.
What IS easier for the momma, however, is staying fit:
"Whenever they are taking naps, my husband and I are doing little push-ups here and there and everything. I want to prove to myself and help people understand that sometimes you don't really need a trainer. You can do it on your own. Determination, commitment, and breastfeeding!"
Ha! Zoe makes the whole post-baby body struggle seem really simple! Good for you, girl.
Enjoy the rest of the time you have with your babies!
