[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] A pregnant fitness trainer filmed and shared a video of herself doing strength training with a 140kg barbell just weeks before her due date, sparking controversy among netizens, according to a British media report on the 18th (local time).

According to the report, Yana Milutinovich (34), who lives in New York, USA, is currently eight months pregnant and has been consistently posting videos of herself doing intense workouts on her social media (SNS) even after becoming pregnant. She has as many as 315,000 followers.

Yana has a husband who is a police officer (31) and a three-year-old daughter. The media reported that she exercised similarly during her first pregnancy. She currently works out about 3 to 6 times a week and also conducts personal training sessions for clients.

Some netizens who saw this criticized her with comments such as "She's crazy," "It's harmful to the baby," and "She's doing it for attention." On the other hand, there were also supportive opinions like "I am inspired by her strength and consistency," and "I'm pregnant too, and my ligaments hurt when I lift heavy things. Is there a solution?"

When criticism arose about exercising while pregnant, Yana responded, "I know my body best, and I can lift the barbell because I feel comfortable." She also said, "Negative comments cannot discourage me," and "This is a decision for the health of me and my baby."

Experts explained that for people who exercised before pregnancy, it can be safe to continue exercising at the same intensity during pregnancy.
