Hours after the exercise video was recorded, the 32-year-old woman gave birth to her third child. That’s what it means to love sports!
Fitness in the life of Australian Anna Strode has always been. The birth of twins did not make her quit the sport. At least half an hour a day, but there was something to take care of yourself. The second pregnancy, all the more, did not become a reason to give up training. Moreover, my mother was engaged in fitness literally until the last minute.
“My last training took place a few hours before the birth of our gorgeous daughter Madi Grace,” Anna signed the video.
Moreover, the set of exercises was quite difficult – squats, lunges, push-ups from the bed. And Anna finished the workout with a vigorous dance. And you can’t say that her contractions have already begun!
Throughout her pregnancy, Mom tried to train every three to four days – not for long, only twenty minutes. But this is also amazing. No wonder she is called superman in the comments. By the way, more than 100 thousand people follow Anna’s trainings. After all, if she could, then anyone can. There would be a desire. Anna does not go to the gym, because twin boys and a newborn daughter in her arms are no joke. But at home you can do wonders with your own body. What about the children? Sons are happy to participate in mom’s workouts. An excellent example, I must say. The best promotion of a healthy lifestyle.
No, Anna did not play all these feats at all. “I will not be honest – I constantly feel terribly tired. Most of the day I lie and try not to even open my eyes, she wrote. – I’m MOM. I have to be strong. “
How difficult it was for Anna to train, her husband confirmed. He once tried to do all the exercises with her, tying a six-kilogram ball to his stomach. And do you know what happened? The man did not master the whole training. “My back hurts,” he said. And he added: “It’s so good that men don’t have to give birth!”
Emotionally, Anna was also not easy. There were trolls who came to the comments and wrote to her that she looks too big for a 33-week pregnancy. Rudeness was enough even to advise the future mother to eat less. Anna didn’t reach into her pocket for a word: “Darling, a man is growing in my stomach – what do you think I should look like? With six dice on the press? “
Nevertheless, the words of the ill-wisher upset her greatly. Anna is a short woman. Therefore, every extra kilogram is noticeable. “Am I really eating too much? Maybe you should limit yourself? She wondered. – Or maybe you need not to train for 20 minutes a day, but for an hour? ” But then she decided that she would not force herself: “My body is doing everything so that another new life appears in this world. I won’t let anyone hurt me. “
After giving birth, only two weeks have passed. Anna has already returned home – and for training. Now the baby Madi Grace is also participating in them.
“I have a roof over my head, a loving husband and healthy children. This is all I need to be happy, ”Anna wrote the other day. And for this she can only applaud.
And what do experts say about this?
“I recommend doing Pilates exercises during pregnancy,” says Elena Fedotova, a mother of two and a master trainer of group programs at the World Class fitness club chain. – They not only prepare the body for the stress during childbirth, but also help to release tension and stress. Pilates exercises have no contraindications, but expectant mothers need to exclude exercises where there is a strong tension in the abdominal muscles, a sharp change in position and deep twisting. “
