The 'Pretty Little Liars' star has been working on her physical and mental self-care as of late so she can be the best mom to her 15-month-old daughter Atlas Noa - who she shares with her husband Matte Babel.

Admitting the last year had been tough, she said: "2020 was the year of searching for something to make us feel good. Not even good … to feel fine. Feel 'normal'. For me that came in the form of comfort food, comfort clothes and throwing my fitness routine out the window. And that was okay … for a while. They’re called unprecedented times for a reason. But I also learned about physical and mental self-care, and made a pact with myself that 2021 would be different.

"I wanted to focus on myself again, because I’m the best version of myself for Atlas - and everyone else - when I take care of myself first."

And after four weeks, Shay already feels "more healthy, energetic and engaged".

She added in an Instagram post: "So in January I committed to getting my s*** together with @myopenfit ... Working out with @thedailykelsey and @steph_shep ,in just 4 weeks I have felt more fit than I have in a long time, and already have the results to show. #4WeeksOfFocus is exactly what I needed. A doable time frame 30 minutes a day for 5 days a week for 4 weeks. A clear start, a clear finish and something that I could totally commit to. I have loved getting up these last four weeks and having a routine and a challenge to start the day. I feel more healthy, energetic and engaged … which makes a better me. (sic)"
