Fitness Influencer Emily Breeze Wants Women to Know It’s Safe to Workout During Pregnancy
January 26, 2018
Fitness influencer Emily Breeze Ross Watson wants to set the record straight on working out during pregnancy.
The trainer and soon-to-be mom of two gets messages from women all over the world who want reassurance that it’s safe to do the HIIT and weightlifting workouts she’s done throughout her two pregnancies.
“When you’re pregnant you’re so vulnerable, it’s such a hard time, and I was surprised about the lack of support so many women receive,” Watson, 33, tells PEOPLE.
She decided to share a post on Instagram to break down the misconceptions that working out during pregnancy harms the mother or the baby.
“I think it’s very outdated information,” Watson says. “We do have doctors and grandparents and friends who think that exercising while pregnant is taboo.”
