Last week, The Biggest Loser star revealed she had commenced fitness training four weeks after welcoming her first son, Axel, posting her workout routine on Instagram.

The workout included a mix of interval cardio drills involving running and walking for 56 minutes a day.

The celebrity trainer, 45, noted in her post: 'Remember! I’m a professional trainer & have been training for 30yrs. So! For you please dial this down to 15-20mins of total work.'

Despite this advice, health experts have hit back at Bridges, calling the post-pregnancy routine 'irresponsible' and 'concerning'.

Women In Focus Physiotherapy called out Bridges, in a lengthy Facebook rant.

“The reduced workout would still include 12 minutes of jogging, which for a woman who has just had a vaginal birth or cesarean delivery is quite simply irresponsible."

"As a public figure encouraging women whose body types, birth and fitness histories are unknown, to start jogging is quite frankly concerning."

"I have become increasingly frustrated by the incorrect messages that are promoted by the fitness industry especially for women in their childbearing years."

Other Instagram users also questioned Michelle’s fitness regime so close to giving birth.

“Low impact exercise until 6 weeks is the recommendation by women's health specialists. Please see a women's health specialist before getting back into running!” one posted, while another wrote, “Always speak to your Dr and or a Physio before carrying out physical exercise before 6 weeks pp. Prolapse and issues with your pelvic floor muscles can occur when pushing yourself too much directly after birth.”
