TRAINING WHILE PREGNANT FT. MICHA ZAMORA 

I'm a male who doesn't even lift. Why am I watching a video on how to train whilst pregnant 😂

I Train after I have a food baby... does that count?

I really hope Micha doesn't read these comments :( poor woman getting online doctors telling her what to lift as if she's some silly fragile girl. what if its actually worse for her body and her baby's development if she goes from working out 100% then suddenly dropping to next to nothing, I mean, just walking? there needs to be more research into exercising while pregnant, obviously she's gonna slow it down even more when she gets closer to the 9 month mark, ya'll need to back up out of their business.

incredible what pregnant women can do these days. wont feel bad next time i dont give up a seat on the bus for a pregnant lady.

I love this video! Please note. Not only do doctors give advice to err on the side of caution- but also to err on the side of facing a potential malpractice suit. Imagine if the dr did advise and say: keep lifting and just lift what is 50% of what you usually lift. Then she hurts herself (and that in doing so, the baby is hurt). She could sue her dr. And win. Imagine what that sounds like in court? A dr. Giving the ok to a pregnant woman to powerlift over 100lbs+? Hopefully videos like this will encourage more medical research so that one day, we WILL have the data to prove that exercising at a degree that is moderate to OUR current level/strength is not only fine, but great for pregnancy. So that doctors won't be afraid to encourage more than just light activity because now they have research they can cite to back themselves up.

the doctors may have said that thinking for a normal sort of light lifting person

I needed this, I’ve been training for the past 6 months and love it. I was told I needed to stop immediately after I found out I was pregnant by family and friends

The comments on this are disgusting you should all be ashamed of yourselves. Please delete some of these disgusting harassing comments on here I do not want to see women get harassed in the comments. I agree that you should scale your workouts and maybe not go heavier than the doctor says when you're pregnant but you don't have to stop moving for 9 months just because you're pregnant. Movement is good for the baby.

The reason for obesity during pregnancy is because woman arnt doing enough of this. i strongly believe there is no excuse to not staying active, during pregnancy you have to be active, not just for your health but for your baby as well. your baby will grow stronger and have less chances of becoming obese when she or he gets older. doctors have forgotten what woman use to do during their pregnancy, and it was not sit on the couch or eat whatever you wanted

SO EITHER BART IS PREGNANT TOO OR SHES GETTING READY FOR A MEET AS WELL!

Smh whys everyone suddenly a doctor when it comes to this shit 😂 Googling something is not the same as going to six plus years of MedSchool. Even with schooling, you literally have no right to tell this woman- or anyone- how she can or cannot live her life. If you don't like how she is working out, then just click off the video and get on with your life. Simple as that.

Awesome!!! My doctor told me keep going until my body tells me to stop. You look amazing, and you're doing a great service to the baby by being so active. Studies show a baby born to an active momma has brain activity of a 4months old baby born to the of a sedentary momma. You go momma!!! Very inspiring!!!!

there is something id be cautious of as the pregnancy goes on, the female body releases elastin and she could become hyper mobile - make sure movements are just in ranges she know she can work in and is used to and can control & the sumo deads may be fine for now but lateral movements involving the hips can become ourtageously painful too. just some caution but i totally agree with what she is doing! :)

Charlie is scared of dem hormones. Poor dude. Not long to go bro.

Decided to take a look at ther IG and apparently the baby was just born a day ago lol. Grats to her

Definitely doing this in the future. Thanks for sharing this video!

There are some really ignorant men on here who don’t know anything about a woman’s body let alone about it when she’s pregnant. Smh

'People think she lifts a lot of weight' yea that's what happens when you use crossfit plates and a 5 lb. plate looks like a 45 lb. plate

That's gonna be geo in 2017

The baby is a boy so it's giving her extra test in her body so she can perform better while pregnant.

You can still lift heavy while pregnant if you always lifted heavt

Wow, so many self appointed judges on these comments. She seems very healthy, baby is healthy, she's showing you can do it with some moderate adjustments. Thanks for the encouragement Micha!

You are just butt hurt because she is pregnant, lifting 60% of her 1RM and still out lifting you

Damn, my midwife told me to continue what I was doing and don't wind myself pretty much. I did that. I still do my 40 minutes of cardio 5 days a week with leg and arm days. I feel amazing and my baby has a powerful heartbeat. Y'all in the comments stupid. Also, I feel like doctors and midwives are so much different in what they tell people. My midwife also told me working out is the best prevention for gestational diabetes. Keep lifting girl! Women really shouldn't gain an extra 30-50 pounds of straight FAT while pregnant.

It is wonderful to see a different perspective on exercising while pregnant. The traditional doctors warning of don't lift/ only walk are always something you hear, but I don't think that is ever taking into account the individual. It's more a generalization. Great video!

Currently on my third pregnancy and ALSO working out hard! I rode a bike, did acro-yoga and calisthetics while pregnant with second and i just got pregnant with my third and I had gotten into powerlifting- i've been training before i found out i was pregnant! People need to mind their own business, pregnant doesn't mean handicapped- i wanna see some of them dudes do half the shit a pregnant woman does, it's obvious that society is too afraid of strong women. (also her baby was born and guess what, he was FINE)

lmao that shot at 7:00 "hormones are real'

To all the neigh-sayers out there: there is recent and increasing evidence that women SHOULD be exercising during pregnancy. The key is to be mindful of your body and to make careful adaptations to your existing routine (if you have one). There needs to be more videos like this, and I for one am loving training during my pregnancy 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

That's one of the reasons I hate crosshit.

This is amazing! I am 28 weeks and weight lifting was a lifestyle before I became pregnant. And it never changed! I modified and do exactly what my body says I can do and no more! Especially the anxiety aspect! We went through ivf so I couldn't work out for 4 months during treatments and was the most depressed I had ever been! Getting back into it was hard but I stayed focused and made it happen! This is great! We are not disabled, just pregnant 💙💙💙

Poor Charlie.... hormones are real

you're lifting around %74, you're holding your breathe

7:00 hormones are real lmfao

lmao, this shit always cracks me up. At this point the only thing that should matter is keeping in good health till the kid is born. After its born then yeah go full ham again. Not as though she can transfer her deadlift strength to the kid the more she works out while pregnant. I mean if these pregnancy workouts are so "light" for her she may as well do body weight stuff and not risk any bar injuries while pregnant.

thank you so much for posting this! I train 5 days a week and my doctors told me not to do much my first Pregnancy! I'm gonna lift through this second one same as I always have! Love it!!!

for all the naysayers startingstrength.com/training/strength-training-through-my-pregnancy

if i have never ever done this kind of workout before pregnancy I can't be going crazy like this while pregnant. so safety safety for suee

Bless awesome! What was she lifting during pregnancy deadlift?

is this only because shes already a deadlifter? seems kinda scary

thank you so much! This video is truly empowering

Jesus she is preggo yet still has better form than Geo

Thanks I found this video very helpful

It is all about risk factors. When pregnant women make choices about their activities and assess those risk factors. If you decide lifting is okay with you, that's fine but also don't pretend that there is no risk involved.

im afraid when she does deadlift and the baby just pop down..

I follow her on instagram only because she has some of the best legs i have ever seen. lol

She's built like Rick Ross after Christmas.

هنا بالشهـر الثاني ما تقـدر ترفع كاسة .. ^_^

Is Stephanie Zamora your cousin?

I was told not to jump around but I still do because I’m used to it there’s so much bad advice out there for pregnant women it’s unreal

Pulling 225 isnt straining? lol isnt that like twice her bw?

for a pregnacy lifting video... i dont see the point of this guy doing all the talking... hes aguy for fucks sake hell never know

Those close ups on Charlie kill me 😂

lucky dude busted deep inside.

Good job on having a boy.

under 300 club

under 300 club

How old is she?

To have a healthy developing baby and working out consistently at the same time requires a fuck ton of calories! What if your body and or the baby cant handle the strain of too much of certain nutrients?

If you have are doing this without the understanding of pre and post/anter and post natal exercise, why not get the certification so you are saying "this is what you can do" versus "this is what I think"?

If you stop training hard when the pregnancy progresses, I think there is little to no risk. It might just be good for the sugar metabolism of the baby. However, there is a thing called rupture of the fetal membrane (not quite sure if this is what its called in english), which can be caused by physical effort. This condition is very serious and in many cases leads to misscarriages.

Regardless of all the strength training what I would be worried about is having a gentle belly around all those weights and barbell brigade guys who always joke around

The thing is don't do too much intensity while pregnant. You're pretty much diverting the oxygen and blood and affect the activity. "Light" workouts are recommended, high risk of injury but you can still work out.

Hi bart

I'm for working out while pregnant but I'm yet to be convinced of strenuous workouts such as moderate-heavy weight in your big compound movements. There isn't enough research and just because one insanely athletic 'crossfitter' found success in doing so, doesn't mean everyone will.

I'm currently pregnant in my third trimester and I would love to be updated on how pregnancy, labor/delivery, etc.) was for you. Things like.. If being this active has made delivery easier or if you had pre-term labor. Anything.

Real talk. This is great motivation. Berpys while pregnant, omg. I can't do it while not pregnant..... and male.

Thank you so much for this interview. I'm 4 month pregnant and there is so few information out there about CrossFit and pregnancy. I only do what feels good and pay attention to my breathing. I stopped with the heavy weights and some exercise that felt strange. Never the less, I'm unsure about the heart rate. Is it ok to be a bit out of breath, like after doing a set of 10 Squats and then pause or do I have to stop immediately when I get out of breath and pause?

I follow Micha on insta and I am so motivated by her every day. Thank you for making this Video I am right into my Crossfit and 23 weeks pregnant and its nice to see this video and know that I am doing all the right things. Listening to my body and also not pushing it to the point where I am maxing out.

Great video...love your hubby's involvement! If I don't workout I would be a super grumpy pregnant woman especially having an office job!!!

I hope to be as tough as Micha once my time comes to have a baby living inside of me, I've heard that actually having energy to head to a gym everyday is nearly impossible when pregnant so I take my hat of to you Micha!!! This video was very informative and encouraging, thank you!!

I had a teacher in highschool who use to run everyday she looked like she was about to pop and she still was at it the kid came out find.

She's strong

She exercises like that and still keep a conversation while dOING THAT? I CAN BARELY DO A SIT UP WITHOUT PASSING OUT

It's just 9 Month???? Why just why!!?

This is very difficult by the way. When you're pregnant I mean.

Olympic lifts scare me when a pregnant woman does them. I always think there going to hit the bar against their stomach.

Cool vid, good job! Some of you people in the comments are weird af, please go seek help

Im pregnant i go gym and the instructors are like don't use weights huff

Does the baby experience gains while in the womb though ?

Charlie is so adorable! I want more content with him 😊

um.. not trying to hate but it is already a very common thing that the baby cant develop properly due to tight/overly developed abs. so i would think using them that hard would not be very beneficial right?

Will the baby be affected in any way ...i mean will the baby be healthier?

damn barbell using that fire beat from bluntedbeatz as background music in the beginning

do pregnant women bounce the bar off their stomachs too when doing bench?

bubble guts is oil and not loyal. Not saluted not propahhhhhhhh!

I am a fan! Love this video!

I am in my first trimester and I squat 155lbs is that still safe or do I need scale down

She makes it look easy. She looks great while pregnant, women take notes.

We were also told that if we ran more than 1500m our uterus would fall out.

so... go against what doctors say and do what you "feel". let the kid know you fucked up his life

yeah if I would get pregnant I would still work out

that Baby is gonna super healthy plus a Gym rat when he's like 3 hahah

The baby inside like to go on roller coaster already

110# before the pregnancy, Right?

Her squatting reminds me of big Lenny lol.

charlie what's your height and weight?

she looks like bart when he was bulking!!

Your a beast mom Your basically amazing
