Nike Run Club coach Sara Wiss?proves that women that are pregnant could be serious badasses.?In this video on her Instagram page, the Swedish personal trainer?displays some jaw-dropping strength:?Besides she crank?out five chin-ups with impeccable?form (a feat impressive enough by itself!), she does so at 41 weeks.
“Keep calm! I’m still pregnant-#week41 #weightedpullups” Wiss said in the caption.?Unsurprisingly, her followers went wild, congratulating?the mom-to-be: “Dang mama!!! Have it! So inspiring,” wrote one user. “Many can’t perform a pull-up and with the extra weight (thumbs up),” said another.
Keep calm! I'm still pregnant…. ?? Men nu blir det inga fler pullups innan Pyret kommer. Har vilat i soffan i tv? veckor, b?rjar bli frustrerad, seg och rastl?s! S? en liten sv?ng till Bos?n med l?tt tr?ning och bastu kanske kan s?tta fart…. ?? ?????? ?? #week41 #weightedpullups
Wiss got you inspired too??
If you cannot pull through just one chin-up (yet!), there are a number of exercises you can add for your routine to start?building the force required.?The trick, says Tony Gentilcore,?a Boston-based certified strength and conditioning specialist, is training on the ground first (think push-ups and stability ball roll-outs) before moving to the bar.?”So a lot of my clients assume they will never be in a position to?do [a chin-up], let alone multiple repetitions, however they can-it just takes work,” he told Health in a prior interview. To get going, take a look at his top 5 exercises to get you nearer to a?chin-up. (Of course, if you are currently pregnant, be sure to run any new fitness program from your doc.)
As for Wiss, the motivating mama gave birth on January 3, just two days after she posted her now-viral?video.?
