Samantha is expecting her first child and has been openly sharing her pregnancy journey on Instagram, from her food habits and fitness routine to her babymoon trip with husband Raj Nidimoru.
The actress has now shared pictures of herself working out at a gym, including strength-training exercises. Her workout photos quickly drew attention, as many people assume that weight training should be avoided during pregnancy.
Anticipating questions about her routine, Samantha clarified that she has been strength training for years and is continuing her workouts during pregnancy only after getting clearance from her doctor. She also revealed that her trainer is certified in prenatal training and that her exercises have been modified according to her body and pregnancy.
Samantha also stressed that her routine should not be copied by other women, as every pregnancy is different.
She wrote, “A little disclaimer: I’ve strength trained for years and have continued through pregnancy with my doctor’s clearance. My trainer is also certified in prenatal training, and everything you see here is modified for my body, my experience and my pregnancy.”
