Tatum Rebelle has some good news for expecting mothers: preganancy doesn’t have to mean nine months of Bon Bons and life on the couch.
Rebelle said she worked at gym for several years and noticed that once a woman got pregnant, she didn’t see them again.
“No returned phone calls, it didn’t matter how many prepaid sessions they had, they disappeared and didn’t come back after the pregnancy either,” she said.
Rebelle said there are a lot of misconceptions about pregnancy that women may not be aware of.
Many women believe their heart rate should not surpass 140 during pregnancy.
“That’s the most common myth I have and absolutely not true,” she said. “It’s been outdated for almost 10 years now, but its still being thrown around as fact and the real recommendation is that you should used perceived exertion.”
