Samantha Harris, co-host of Dancing With the Stars, just gave birth a year ago, and now she's the cover girl of the latest edition of Muscle & Fitness Hers flaunting her lean and toned body. She told People magazine, "I really wanted to show moms out there that you really could get that body back." Holy rock-hard six-pack abs! It's amazing that she was pregnant 12 months ago.

How did she do it? To find out, read more.
Samantha wears baby daughter Josselyn in a BabyBjörn during her workouts while doing squats and lunges up steep stairs. Not only does it give them bonding time together, but the extra weight builds muscle and makes regular exercises even more difficult. To hear more about Samantha's routines, check out the November/December 2008 issue of Muscle & Fitness Hers.

hahahaha that's the most fake, airbrushed photo I have ever seen!!
1she looks so different in the two photos. BUT she looks great in both, so more power to her!
2so wear suppose to believe that photo is really her? I dont doubt she has a 6pack but that photo look ridiculous.
3Soooooooooooooooooooo PHOTOSHOPPED!
Don't be fooled ladies!
4p.s. Fit, why did you post this when it's so obviously fake?
I hope women read the comments here and realize those are not her abs. YIKES!
5my goodness those are reminiscent of janet jackson's airbrushed fake abs
and even if they WERE real... GROSS!
6So, are those abs photoshopped or spray-tanned on? Either way, those are NOT her real abs.
7I hope that's airbrushing because the 20 pack is not working for her.
8ridiculous looking
i wouldnt even want that if it was real...
9Very fact looking. I hope the real photo looks better then that.
10That is so, so fake! How could anyone even think that's real!
Even her arms in the dress shot don't look anything like her arms in the mag cover shot.
11this is ridiculous. she might have rock hard abs, but the only way they're gonna look like that is photoshop.
12She got (fake) man-abs by toting her baby up and down some stairs? If that's true, then every mother in NYC would have the same abs!
13Look at her arms on the mag and then the red carpet. There is no way those are the same arms. But there is no telling how old the red carpet photo is. If that is her, good for her.

14Those abs look like they were literally painted on her. Who do they think is going to be fooled by that?
15I concur...the photo is just plain silly, so obviously fake. She is in really great shape, why airbrush, why?
16Her abs look very EWWy. real or not (obviously airbrushed) rock hard 6 pack abs don't interest me. a simple tonig of the mid section with slight defenition is fine with me (tho goes for both men and women).
17wow, there is no way those abs are real. And even if they were, i totally agree with Soniabonya. those are way scary. I just want to be toned, not scary.
18Creepy! That is the worst photo-shopping job I've seen in a while.
19This is the most awfully-obvious photo-shopped/airbrushed picture I've ever seen! And why someone would actually want to have abs that looked like that is beyond me. Samantha Harris is a disgrace for letting the magazine doctor her image like that!!!
20she looks great but those "abs" are clearly painted on! what was the magazine thinking???
21To be fair, I suspect cover subjects are seldom consulted about how much the editor "improves" their photos. It's understood that all women will receive slimmer thighs and smoother foreheads than nature has given them, but I imagine the general policy is to ask forgiveness rather than permission when more drastic measures are taken.
22Those abs are so fake that they border on cartoonish. Look, I'm all for gals with abs, and Samantha is obviously in great shape as evidenced by the REAL photo, so what's the deal? Everyone gets Photoshopped, but this looks so comical.
Rather sad that Fit would post this. We need real images for inspiration, and that magazine obviously needs better graphic designers!
23Ew! Obviously airbrushed on... that's sad.
24I don't like them anyways. I think abs like that are sick looking. I just want a slim toned stomach.
the abs dont look real. its like mariah careys when she airbrushed hers on.
25PHOTOSHOP!!!!!!!!
This looks so fake. As if a new mother would have abs like that. Didn't I see in a recent post on here about how the abs separate and you need to tone them back together?
Also - wearing a baby during exercise, do we need to call child protection now because she hits it with a dumbell??
26Yikes! Samantha is very pretty, but this awful magazine cover makes her look like a dude.
27I agree...that makes her look like a guy. I never understood why women would want a 6-pack in the first place. The red carpet photo looks so much better.
28that is some crazy photoshop-age.

.....how long before she comes back with a comment on how she was "disappointed" that they
photoshopped her pic?
...some magazines are subtle about it....this is defneatley not!
she's got the ab's of a man on a erotica novel!!
30That's the funniest picture I've seen all day.
I'm surprised that Fit posted this too...since all 30+ comments have clearly been about how unbelievable this cover is.
31Okay, phew, I'm glad I'm not the only one who is seeing the worst airbrushing job I've seen in a loooooooooong time!
32Ya so that cover pic is too insanely photoshopped but it doesn't mean she's not in rockin' shape. Props to her for getting into such incredible shape post-baby. I think it's inspirational for moms to see this.
33this is sad
34she looks great the "real" way
why make her looks like so muscular?
OMG Jessie, she does look very Fabio. lmao. Scary!
35In regards to her arms, if you watch her on DWTS, she does in fact have incredibly toned arms.
36why did they do that to her stomach? I'm sure her stomach looks fit and toned without that photoshopping
37HOLY ROCK HARD ABS BATMAN!!!that's insane! i can't believe that not only did she just have the baby a year ago, but most women who've never had a child have abs that look like that. i'm insanely jealous -but you can bet your life that when i do have a baby, i'm going to use the same tactics to get my abs back in shape!
38That sounds dangerous to do squats and lunges up steep stairs with a baby strapped to you.
39I don't like women with abs like Arnold Schwarzenegger o.o
40If you believe she got those abs by doing squats and lunges with a baby, I've got a bridge you might be interested in buying.
41This is so silly. Really Fit, why would you post this?
