Incredible Mum: 7 Months Pregnant Woman Lifts 100kg Weights

39-Year-Old Katja who is more than seven months pregnant with her first child regularly lifts weights of up to 100kg.

According to Mirror Online, Katja spends up to 12 hours a week at the gym combining weightlifting, endurance and gymnastics – which she balances with her full-time job as an events manager.

The fitness fanatic claims her extreme fitness regime is not damaging her baby. She shares her passion for working-out with her partner Jason, who she met at a training session two years ago.

Katja said: “I’ve read a lot about strength training and being pregnant. People say go with what feels good. If it doesn’t feel good then change it, modify it, stop it.

“If it feels fine, then continue.”

She explained: “Moderate exercise is recommended for all women in pregnancy but women need to know when to stop.

“And the risk of doing things like fainting during exercise where they might damage themselves and indeed their baby if they were to fall on the abdomen or drop weights on the abdomen.”
