Since she was eleven years old, weightlifting is part of Estefanía Juan Tello's life, and now that she is eight months pregnant with her first child, she has not neglected her passion.
Your image lifting weights with an eight month pregnant belly impresses, but it is something controlled without risk to your baby. "I can do it, I have no problems, it is recommended by the doctor," said Estefanía, who won numerous medals in national, European and world championships.
"I can train, but only 30 percent of what I did before."
For women who have not practiced before, such an intense exercise is not recommended during pregnancy, but when the woman was already practicing it and is used to it, she can continue doing it. Of course, reducing the pace and under medical control.
With this belly I already resist some bar exercises, especially the Olympians, luckily there are a thousand to do, so ... there are no excuses. My belly and I continue to grow. P.S. I'm finally moving up the category @lydiavalentin I'm on my way. #redviking #weightlifting #crossfitgirls #crossfit #snatch #cleanandjerk #mamatocha #powergirl #estoytocha #barrigota #pregnancy #pregnant #bebeencamino #halterofilia #workout #noexcuseswork # 22weekspregnant
In Babies and more The pregnant woman who lifts weights two weeks after giving birth Is it harmful to the baby?
Exercise is very beneficial during pregnancy, although normally among the most appropriate exercises at this stage is not weight lifting.
The question that many women ask themselves is whether lifting weights during pregnancy can be harmful to the baby, but as we see each case is special, and in the case of Estefanía who already practiced it before and her doctor allows it, there is no risk .
Many people are surprised, but as she herself comments, it is preferable for her health and that of the baby to be training, which is what she has been doing for a long time, than being on the couch all day and feeding on junk food.
As for weightlifting, most pregnant women could do so with a moderate weight, although it is convenient to use light weights (not the 50 kg she lifts) and do many repetitions. In any case, you should always check with your doctor beforehand.
