Demi Moore recalls cycling 60 miles daily to lose weight after second pregnancy: 'Crazy, ridiculous'

Hollywood star Demi Moore recently took a trip down memory lane and recalled the intense workout routine she imposed on herself after the birth of her second daughter Scout Willis in 1991. At the time, Moore was living in Malibu, California with her then-husband Bruce Willis.

During the filming of Indecent Proposal, the actress decided to cycle 30 miles to and from work each day. "I was feeding [Scout] through the night, getting up in the dark with a trainer, cycling all the way to Paramount, even on the location where we were shooting; then shooting a full day, which is usually 12 hours, and then starting all over again," Moore shared in a recent interview on CBS Sunday Morning.

She recalled that Scout was only five or six months old during the film’s production. Moore also admitted to placing unrealistic expectations on herself regarding her post-pregnancy recovery. "I put so much pressure on myself," said the 61-year-old Ghost star. "I had experiences where I was told to lose weight. While those moments were embarrassing and humiliating, it’s what I did to myself because of that."

Reflecting on her extreme efforts, Moore said, "Even just the idea of what I did to my body - it’s so crazy, so ridiculous." She went on to add that snapping back into shape after childbirth "probably" didn’t matter that much though at the time it felt like “everything”.

During her 13-year marriage to Bruce Willis, Moore welcomed three daughters. She gave birth to Rumer in 1988, Scout in 1991 and Tallulah in 1994. The couple parted ways in 2000.

Bruce was diagnosed with aphasia and dementia in March 2022 which led to his retirement from acting. Recently, his youngest daughter Tallulah shared a touching update on her father’s condition in an interview with E! News.

"Our visits are filled with so much love, and I feel that love overshadows everything else," she told the interviewer.
