Watch This Really Pregnant Woman Do Pull-ups


Stockholm-based personal trainer Sara Wiss isn’t letting pregnancy slow her down. At 41 weeks pregnant, just three days before giving birth to a healthy boy, Wiss posted a video of herself flawlessly executing five pull-ups.

The CrossFit enthusiast took a two-week break from the gym as her due date neared, but she started to get restless as the date passed, so she decided to get the blood pumping at the gym and in the sauna to speed up her delivery.

Due date! ???? But still no baby… ???? Va tror ni, 2016 eller 2017? ????????

Wiss was doing the same number of weighted pull-ups pre-pregnancy, as well as two weeks prior to her due date. Throughout her pregnancy, she maintained her fast-paced workouts, saying that she hardly had to adjust them for her heavier body, although she doesn’t recommend such intense cardio for pregnant women who haven’t done similar exercises “1,000 times before.”

Wiss even had abs at 33 weeks pregnant, showing her fans that pregnant women can keep up, and much more.

Wiss isn’t the first pregnant woman to make headlines for her incredible fitness feats. Chontel Duncan and Sarah Stage showed off rock-hard abs at eight months pregnant, Julie Baird set an impossible standard for post-baby bodies, and Emily Breeze finished the Crossfit Open at 35 weeks pregnant.

BUMP UPDATE ???? 36 weeks… only 28 days to go ???? Boy do I feel pregnant, this tummy is massive, heavy, makes sitting up so difficult, rolling over in bed a funny task, trying my sneakers hard work & my back has its moments where it throbs. It's exciting because these are all NEW signs & signs that mean Little D is almost here. I'm interested to know where my waters will break hahaha… (If they do) Imagine if they broke this weekend at the hens in the valley or next weekend at my challenge break up party in the city OR while training in front of my clients hehehe… would be hilarious!!!! As of next week I have been instructed to commence some useful techniques to help bring on labour; 1) have sex daily ???? most hilarious convo 2) stimulate my nipples every time I use the bathroom ???? 3) increase my raspberry leaf tablets to 6 per day ???? Predictions are that I'll labour around 4hrs & push for 30mins… fingers crossed these predictions are correct, that just sounds like a dream come true!!! But we will just have to wait & see… Drugs… I plan to go gas if needed, defiantly no pethidine & epidural would be considered as an absolute last resort. I want to use the shower, exercise ball, stand as much as possible & play my music to help calm any nerves of needed. I've been doing collaborative care, which is private for all of my appointments & public for delivery, then private for all post natal appointments. The public system can (if I have a completely normal delivery) send me home within 6hrs of birth ???? isn't that crazy to think… I could labour for 4hrs, rest for 6hrs and be at home all within 10hrs of my first active labour contraction. Watched USA "one born every min", made my husband & I get so excited. I'm defiantly going to ask to pull Little D out like Kortney Kardashian did lol & I hope to god I don't scream hahaha… I've officially gained… TO CONTINUE READING CLICK MY LINK IN MY BIO TO MY FACEBOOK.????
