After the birth of her twins, Saldana opened about her physical challenges. Not only did the actress gain 70 pounds, but Saldana explained on Facebook that "everything from my thyroid to my platelets crashed" after giving birth.

Saldana said she worked with a trainer to get back into shape for her upcoming movie roles.

"I'm not gonna lie -- it is slow.... painful... and frustrating. But it is worth it," Saldana added.
