She’s no stranger to receiving criticism, but Aussie personal trainer Chontel Duncan has officially had enough of online trolls accusing her of flaunting an unrealistic post-baby body.

Just five and a half weeks after the birth of her second child, the 28-year-old has taken to Instagram to defend her incredibly fit physique. 

“People have commented in the past 5 weeks some interesting stuff that I would like to clear up,” she began the lengthy post.

“I FULLY understand that my “postpartum changes” are not like the next persons, but neither are the next persons… does that make sense? My routine day in day out is HIIT HIIT HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training).

“My behaviour throughout my pregnancy consisted of 5 HIIT sessions per week running a business and running after a toddler.”

Mastered a full days Ikea shop with both Jeremiah & Swayde thanks to our @redsbabyaus pram. Jeremiah feels incredibly special in his new tandem seat that he actually never wants to get out ????????? The narrow design allows me to zip in and out of busy crowds and small isles without any difficulty. My husband and I call this pram our "life saver" ? so much that now we feel confident we can tackle more outings like this one.

Chontel went on to credit her flat abs to her “healthy balanced diet.”

“If I didn’t train, I didn’t have a busy lifestyle and I didn’t eat well, I wouldn’t look anything like I do,” she continued. “So, when someone says this isn’t realistic remember my lifestyle and behaviour is pretty full on, but it’s what I enjoy and also it’s my career so the convenience is there too.”

She also responded to followers who had rudely questioned why her C-Section scar wasn’t visible in her snaps.

“My scar is very low and my doctor went through my old scar,” she explained.

“Actually, he cut out my old scar due to severe keyloid and gave me a VERY neat one in replacement.”

This isn’t the first time the fitness model has opened up about the realities of her birthing method.

I’ll catch the trolls before they give me their two cents because I didn’t push my baby out which was (mind you) out of my control. There’s nothing easy about a cesarean either….the tugging, the pushing, the sounds, the smells, the feeling of no control, the fear of something going wrong, the recovery it all terrifies me. But I would do it all again in a heart beat… The top photo captures me at my weakest point and my husband incredibly helpless, the middle photo captures the sound of Swayde’s cry & visual of his privates ? and bottom photo captured the most incredible feeling of all, two parents falling in love at first sight. No matter how we birth or how our babies come into our lives we all experience fear, excitement and fall in love. Natural, caesarean, surrogate, adoption what ever the situation we all go through the journey in some way shape or form & we all should be dam proud of ourselves. @sam_hiitaustralia

“I’ll catch the trolls before they give me their two cents because I didn’t push my baby out which was (mind you) out of my control,” she wrote in a previous post.

“There’s nothing easy about a caesarean either… the tugging, the pushing, the sounds, the smells, the feeling of no control, the fear of something going wrong, the recovery all terrifies me. But I would do it all again in a heartbeat.”

Chontel and her husband Sam Duncan welcomed baby boy Swayde Noel on September 20.
