Doctors recommend light exercises, and it’s believed that avoiding lifting heavy weights ensures safety as it is a delicate time. However, some individuals beg to differ from this perspective and choose to do intense workouts while they are pregnant.

Recently, Alessandra Scutnik, a fitness coach, gained attention for her remarkable fitness journey. The mother of two shared a video of her acute workout sessions during her pregnancy. People started reacting to her drill. The opinion for Scutnik’s sessions falls on both sides of the spectrum. For some, it’s an incredible thing to achieve, while others were concerned about the child’s health.

Is Alessandra Scutnik unfolding the myth with her intense training?

Scutnik’s transformation video was shared by a fitness page on Instagram called GymTears. In this clip, the woman is showing her results postpartum. She shared the point of view of never stopping lifting heavy weights; she did so for better results after giving birth to her second child.

However, GymTears shared this post with a caption. According to them, doing core exercises during pregnancy is essential. People who claim that this is unsafe rely on old information.
