“Way Too Risky”: Pregnant Olympian’s Brutal Workout Raises Concern Over Unborn Baby’s Safety

From bodybuilding workouts to Olympic weightlifting and CrossFit, Tia-Clair Toomey has excelled in every discipline she has tried. The Australian is the most dominant female athlete in CrossFit history. However, on December 24, 2022, the six-time CrossFit champion announced a slight change of plans for the 2023 competitive season because she was pregnant. However, pregnancy hasn’t stopped Toomey from training. Today, she posted footage of her latest workout.

Challenging the popular notion that pregnant women shouldn’t train, Toomey has uploaded multiple workout videos. It’s evident from the video that Toomey is approaching the advanced stage of her pregnancy. However, it’s not slowed her down, and her brutal workout video has divided the bodybuilding and fitness community on social media.

An intense workout session left the online room divided

Earlier today, Tia-Clair Toomey posted a video on Instagram showing snippets of her brutal full-body workout. “Quarterfinals workout #3 done,” wrote the Commonwealth Games Weightlifting gold medalist. The Olympian also told fans to head to her YouTube channel to “watch me take on this workout as prescribed.”

Despite being pregnant, the ‘Fittest Woman on Earth’ crushed her brutal workout. The Instagram clip showed Toomey doing clean-and-jerks and box jumps. The Youtube video showed that Tommey also did box jump burpees. A day ago, she posted another workout video where she did everything from ring dips, handstand pushups, handstand walks, ring rows, and more.

Despite mentioning that her doctors “prescribed” the workout she did, a fan on the internet showed concern about her unborn baby’s safety.

Bodybuilding and CrossFit are equally impressed and concerned 

Many fans seemed impressed and praised the Olympian for challenging the norms. They commented,

“Knowing what I know about exercise and pregnancy… she may have the fastest delivery in that hospital’s history.”

“I can’t believe how many people spoke to me negatively about lifting weights during my pregnancy. Get it, girl.”

“Inspiration for so many. Keeping fit while pregnant should be more normalized, as you can see from the comment.”

However, others felt concerned, and said,

“Unfollowing till she gets the baby, that’s too much for my anxiety.”

“Not gonna lie-this is way way way too risky. Scary to watch.”

“Yeah nah… not a fan….not worth the risk.”
