The 28-year-old fitness icon didn’t quit training until birth. How she looks after is just amazing.
Shontal Duncan is a mother of two. She is also a fitness trainer. She has not imagined her life without sports for a long time. Therefore, she did not part with training even during pregnancy. When Shontal was carrying her second child, she continued to go to the gym. And not for Pilates or yoga. A pregnant woman preferred intensive weight training: squatting with a barbell, swinging her back and arms on the simulator, doing exercises with a kettlebell. Everything is serious – as if her stomach does not bother her at all.
But the most amazing thing, in our opinion, is kickboxing training. “Oh my God. How scared she is! I can’t lift my leg like that, ”my colleague, also a young mother, shook her head.
Shontal really jumps very dashingly, boxing with his partner. Kicking, punching, jumping, but she gets away from the blow … It’s really scary – not every day you see a woman in her ninth month and in boxing gloves.
“I feel great, even better than in my first pregnancy,” Schontal said. And just in case, she turned to her subscribers with a request not to repeat her tricks – she’s still a professional: “But you should all remember that what is normal for me may absolutely not suit you. Everyone has different possibilities, health too. Follow your doctor’s advice and enjoy your pregnancy. “
At the gym, Chontal was sweating for a reason. A week after the cesarean (yes, she had a planned cesarean section), the young mother showed how her body looks like. “Before you say something nasty, remember that all people are different. The experience of one woman will never suit another, “- as if apologizing for her still imperfect tummy, wrote Shontal under the photo. And she asked her subscribers not to criticize her for her appearance, but to try to find a little kindness in her heart. After all, she had just carried her second child, gave birth to a completely healthy boy weighing 3630 grams. And it just can’t look as glamorous as before pregnancy. But the subscribers did not even think to write nasty things to her. Shontal deservedly received the applause. By the way, a month later she looked like she hadn’t given birth at all. Here it is, its evolution – in the photo.
By the way, this mother is not the only one who decided that pregnancy was not a hindrance to sports at all. Dancer Elena Yatkina provoked a real storm at one time, showing how she dances twerk, being deeply pregnant. To say that her hobby was not approved is to say nothing. The girl was simply persecuted.
Svetlana Volkova, a mother of two children, danced on a pole until the very birth. “I wanted to show by my own example that pregnancy, with its successful course, is not a reason to stop the usual course of life, sit on the sofa and wait for the onset of childbirth,” says Svetlana. “But, of course, pole sport cannot be recommended for pregnant women if the girl has never done it before.”
A real sensation was made by the mother of three children: she continued to do exercises even in the maternity hospital. Anna Strode is sure: the secret of success is not to deviate a step from the routine. The video of her exercises was watched by almost a hundred thousand people.
And fitness guru Beck Wilcock not only did not quit training, but also told her fans how to do it right. In her opinion, the secret is to choose the right workout pants.
And finally, one more workout from Shontal Duncan. Suddenly she will inspire you to accomplishments.
