Kerry Washington Workout: This Is How Olivia Pope Got Fit After Giving Birth – But ‘Scandal’ Actress Isn’t Aiming For Pre-Baby Bod [PHOTOS]

A little over a year ago, on April 2014, the lead actress from the Shonda Rhimes series "Scandal" gave birth to her first child, and as anyone who saw the next season would know, she quickly got back in shape - now, Kerry Washington's workout routine after her baby is revealed!

The actress best known for portraying Olivia Pope seems fairly confident about her body and figure, and part of that is because of Kerry Washington's workout, as the 38 year-old has found exercise bliss by doing Pilates, and she has recently shared how well she has managed with it in the past few months.

The September issue of Self is all about Kerry Washington's workout, as the Emmy nominee shared her routine with the magazine to speak about the place she's in with her body after giving birth last year - and it turns out Olivia Pope even has her own gym at the "Scandal" studio!

"There are a lot of forms of exercise where you have to leave yourself out of the room while you force yourself to do this thing . . . With Pilates, I get to bring my true self," said the actress, speaking about Kerry Washington's workout routine. "I cry, I laugh. I get to go: Where is my body today? What do I need today? How can I take care of myself and push myself past my comfort zone? How can I be both loving and challenging?"

According to Pop Sugar, Kerry Washington's workout routine goes on for six days a week with personal trainer Julie Turner, as she devotes herself mostly to Pilates, and she's definitely no slouch when it comes to getting in shape - even though she's made it clear that, petite frame and all, she's not interested in going back super-skinny after her baby.

E! Online reports that Kerry Washington's workout routine isn't at all about going "back" to the way she looked before daughter Isabelle Amarachi came into her life, but rather about being the best version of herself she can be - and she definitely looks stunning!
