Athletic mom does real miracles with her body.
After a hearty feast, any of us can depict the second trimester of pregnancy. It is enough to unbutton your jeans and relax your stomach. 23-year-old American Megan Call went further. At the 6th month of pregnancy, a woman is able to blow off her huge belly to an absolutely flat state in front of her eyes – this will be the envy of non-pregnant women. And the point here is not at all about editing.
Not so long ago, Megan posted a video: in the frame, her husband seems to pull out an invisible plug, and the pregnant belly disappears before our eyes – deflates like a balloon. The video has already been watched by over a million people.
And also this mommy easily performs a belly dance, and it seems that the baby inside does not bother her at all.
The videos with the disappearing belly amazed Internet users so much that someone even suspected Megan of deception:
“She’s not pregnant, just good abs,” someone wrote in the comments. However, numerous photographs of pregnant Megan confirm her position.
“How does she do it? Even without pregnancy, I can’t pull my stomach in like that! ” – subscribers are perplexed.
“Poor child, she’s going to crush him!” – other followers were indignant. Just like in the case of a Russian dancer who twerked on camera in the last months of her pregnancy, and a wave of hate swept over her.
Doctors say that this ability to control the abdominal muscles will help mom to push the baby out faster during childbirth. However, before doing such tricks, it is worth consulting with your doctor.
For Megan, this is her second pregnancy. She gave birth to her first child, daughter Emmy, just 1,9 years ago. And after 7 weeks, she posed on the beach in a swimsuit.
“I set myself a goal. I am going to work hard in the gym and restore the lost muscle mass, spend more time surfing, ”the young mother announced then.
And this is how Megan looked 7 months after pregnancy.
“I am often asked how I train. Honestly, your nutrition is much more important to achieving your goals than training, says the sports mom. – You can exercise every day and may not see any difference in your body because you are not giving your body the right macronutrients it needs. For two years I tracked my nutrition with a trainer, and now I control the diet on my own.
As for training, I used to only do weightlifting four times a week, and I really liked it. But after two years of such work, I got bored. Right now I’m doing Yoga Sculpt, HIIT (High Intensity Interval Workout), Barre (Ballet-based workout) – it’s so much fun and always makes me sweat. “
“Physical activity and sports are good for pregnant women and everyone else. If everything is going well and the obstetrician-gynecologist who is watching you does not mind, physical activity is only welcome.
But there are only a few rules to follow. The most important thing is not to drastically change your lifestyle. If you haven’t played sports before, limit yourself to regular walks. If you did, it is advisable to reduce the intensity of exercise in the first and third trimesters, during the entire pregnancy to exclude exercises aimed at contracting the rectus abdominis muscles, as well as lifting weights (more than 5 kg).
Yoga instructors generally discourage women who have not actively practiced in the two years prior to pregnancy to do yoga.
In no case should you go in for sports if you don’t have the strength and desire. This can be a signal that physical activity can be harmful.
Think about what kind of sport you are interested in, make a plan for your activity and discuss it with your doctor. This is the best option! But in any case, do not start training on your own. “
