Busy new mother Catherine Tyldesley takes no time off her workout routine as she prepares to return to Corrie

Catherine Tyldesley is evidently not slacking off when it comes to her workout routine, after she was spotted out and about in Manchester in fitted workout leggings.

The actress recently revealed that she has already dropped a stone of her baby weight, and has been hard at work to get back into shape after giving birth.

Catherine and her personal trainer fiance Tom Pitford welcomed son Alfie in March this year, and she is set to return to Coronation Street this month after her maternity leave.

The 30-year-old looked pensive as she was seen running a few errands near her Manchester home on Tuesday.

She wore black and pink Nike gym leggings and a cute retro Barbie sweater over a neon workout top. 

The actress ensured she re-hydrated after hitting the gym, grabbing two bottles of water, before getting back into her car.  

Although Catherine is going back to Corrie this month, she is also venturing into health and fitness.

The 30-year-old has been getting back to school to study fitness and nutrition, and revealed last week that she worries about celebrity endorsed products and DVDs with no proper expertise.

'I have started studying again for my nutrition course, its been on hold since Alfie was born, but as I’ve said in the past – the more I learn – the more I can share with you guys,' she told her fans on her Hello blog.

'I think there are far too many people giving out advice that have zero qualifications to do so! I’m amazed at some of the ‘advice’ I read in magazines/on DVD’s.

'One needs to be so careful these days – with countless books and DVDs being endorsed by various familiar faces, its hard to know who actually knows what they’re talking about.'  

Catherine is making the most of time with her baby boy and partner before she returns to the Coronation Street set this month. 

The actress and her character Eva Price have not been seen in Weatherfield since February when Catherine went on maternity leave. Fans saw Eva flee the street after splitting from boyfriend Jason Grimshaw (Ryan Thomas).

The actress posted a picture of herself on a beach on Monday, captioned 'Tough week at work this week #luckylady', but it was not clear if this was related to Coronation Street
