You can’t let changes in your body stop you from working out. Pregnancy is a completely different story. Tia Claire Toomey, an athlete like herself, has shown that finding a balance between going to the gym for a few breaks and then returning to the program can make a difference when it comes down to fitness. Recently, the CrossFit Games champion and Australian weightlifter announced her pregnancy via social media. But, the new mama didn’t let that stop her from working out in the gym.

While Toomey may have pulled out from the upcoming CrossFit Games, she’s still training hard in the gym. The champion returned to the gym with some assistance and performed intense workouts in a YouTube video. Toomey worked with her husband, trainer, and doctor to devise a plan for keeping fit while making sure that her tiny new family member is doing well. Let’s take a look!

Tia-Clair Toomey: How to sweat it while expecting

Being a parent can prove difficult. The list of discomforts can be endless, from morning sickness to cravings. But everyone has a different capacity and Toomey appears to have developed hers well. This pregnant mama is in her second trimester and motherhood is just beginning for her.

Toomey acknowledged that the journey of her pregnancy was not easy. Toomey felt exhausted and ran out of energy very quickly at first. Add to this, she didn’t feel like eating anything but scrambled eggs. In her first trimester as well as most of the second, she took her time and ate only what she could stomach. Toomey returned to the gym with a flurry of energy toward the end.

Following was a series if pregnancy-friendly workouts in the gym. Toomey immediately got back into weightlifting, along with some biking, a few sets of shoulder-to-overhead, and a few sets on the rowing machine.

I checked in with the doctor and he was very very happy with the heartbeat and the size… I have literally been loving this entire process”.

Toomey seems to enjoy the process, even though it is a unique experience for every woman. Toomey, who is also a CrossFit Champion, is determined not to stop being active and to make the most of her offseason. Shane Orr is her husband. While the last few months were tiring for her, she managed to take a break and rest up. Now that she’s back, fans hope to see some more of her in the forthcoming days.
