This
pregnant and soon-to-deliver mummy has been trending on all social
media platforms for days as the video clips of her carrying heavy
weights go viral. Why? She has just 5 weeks before she's due to give
birth, yet she's still lifting weights!
Emily Breeze doing her thing
Many pregnant women avoid lifting heavy objects, but this woman won't let a little weight slow her down.
Emily Breeze from Charlotte, North Carolina is just shy of 9 months
pregnant. With her baby boy due on April 29th, many might advise her to
take a break. But the CrossFit-competing, Olympic-lifting 31-year-old
said other than modifying her exercises and scaling back on her weights,
she has no plans of stopping.
"I have been training my whole life. I want to truly promote health and fitness to everybody out there," Breeze told InsideEdition.com.
The trainer can be seen in various Instagram videos skipping rope
and doing push ups. She even does an astonishing 170-pound overhead
squat at 27 weeks pregnant.
Emily and her husband
She continues to lift with the blessing of her doctor, but listens
to her body, and adapts her movements accordingly. For example, Breeze
told IE.com that her heaviest clean and jerk is 195-200 pounds, but she
has scaled that down significantly to accommodate her pregnancy.
"A healthy mom and healthy pregnancy will help create that
healthy baby. There's no prescription to pregnancy. Everybody might be
different," she said.
