Unveiling Tia-Clair Toomey's intense pregnancy fitness regimen
In January this year, as Tia-Clair Toomey entered her second trimester, her distinct baby bump was proudly on display, and she continued to defy expectations with her devoted fitness regimen. Fitness Volt shared a detailed analysis of Tia-Clair's challenging exercise, which began with belt squats as a warm-up. Then, she began four rounds of six-minute-long shoulder-to-overhead exercises and six-minute-long Echo Bike caloric-burning sessions.
In addition to the Echo Bike and shoulder-to-overhead movements, the video documented Toomey performing Hang Cleans and Row intervals. Remarkably, Toomey felt drained of energy during her first trimester of pregnancy but was in a significantly improved state during the second trimester.
Toomey posted the workout regimen on Instagram and captioned the post:
"Did a 42min (zone 2) conditioning piece from the athletes program yesterday and felt so good, I haven’t gone that long in a while but was really nice to move at low intensity. I jumped in with the @prvnfitness coaches, thanks Shane & Dwight."
