Her fans received the good news just as the Colombian singer begins fitness training for what could be her next tour. On her Instagram account, Gerard Piqué's partner gives us an inside glimpse into her exercise routines with personal trainer Anna Kaiser. In the video, Shak appears to be very motivated while on the treadmill. "Trying to burn off the four pasta dishes from last night," she wrote.
