Cardi B Begins Fitness Journey Preparing for First Headlining Tour After Giving Birth: ‘I’m a Ol’ Lady’

Cardi B is snapping back to her Bodega Baddie era, as the Bronx native kicked off her fitness journey last week while looking to be ready for her first headlining arena tour in 2026.

Cardi posted a clip in the gym after getting a workout on the stairmaster on Thursday (Nov. 20) to her Instagram Story, which was dated to be from Nov. 13. For now, she’s taking it light while adjusting to post-partum life with tour rehearsals on the horizon.

“Tour journey with me,” she wrote. “I haven’t started tour rehearsals yet but I’m doing light workouts to not only get my body back in shape but my joints and bones.. I’m 33 honey I’ma ol’ lady.”

In the clip, Cardi revealed it was her first day back in the gym. She completed over 20 minutes on the stairmaster and was getting ready to head over to the squat machine. Cardi’s looking to get to a point where she can do over an hour on the stairmaster.

The 33-year-old announced she gave birth to a baby boy on Nov. 13 — her fourth child and first with NFL star Stefon Diggs — and posted the first glimpse of her newborn on Wednesday (Nov. 19) to social media.

The post boasts over four million likes and finds Cardi in mommy mode, while her son is wrapped up in New England Patriots gear, repping his father’s team.

Cardi B will be hitting the road for the Little Miss Drama Tour on Feb. 11, which kicks off in Palm Desert, Calif. She’s set to make stops across North America in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Portland, Vancouver, Seattle, Sacramento, San Francisco, Phoenix, Houston, Austin, Dallas, Denver, Minneapolis, Indianapolis, Detroit, Kansas City, Cincinnati, Chicago, New York, Newark, Toronto, Boston, Hartford, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C and finish up on April 17 in Atlanta.
