WINTER 2009
Still a Knockout
New mom and former boxer Laila Ali is fighting to shape up America’s kids.
By Chris Mann
After boxing champ Laila Ali hung up her gloves in 2007, she never dreamed she had yet to face her toughest opponent: baby weight. The youngest daughter of legendary boxer Muhammad Ali, Laila married NFL player Curtis Conway in July 2007 and gave birth to their first child, Curtis Muhammad Conway Jr., in August 2008. As a seasoned athlete, Ali figured that getting back into fighting trim wouldn’t be a big deal. After all, before she became a mom, the 5’10” beauty had finished third on the hit show Dancing with the Stars, a reality competition that makes tremendous physical demands on its celebrity cast. But regaining her taut Dancing with the Stars figure post-childbirth proved surprisingly tough for the health-minded 31-year-old. It took Ali 10 months of cardio, Pilates, Spinning and boxing to reclaim her fit physique.
