Who tries this with me?

In the comments, some fans are concerned that she will harm her baby with such an intense workout.

“Be careful what your (sic) do. They don’t want any more problems.” wrote a fanwhich presumably refers to Murgatroyd’s struggles with secondary fertility and miscarriages.

“Slow down, mom! Do not exaggerate”, wrote a second fan.

A third came along“Be careful. Not to (sic) much.”

“Don’t you think a lighter workout would do? Please be careful and don’t to mch. Your intense training scares me that you’re just watching. Please make it easier for yourself.” wrote a fourth fanto which replied another fan“Me too, since she wants a baby so badly, I would be careful not to miscarry.”

“Isn’t that a lot for a pregnant mom?” wrote a fifth fan.

Another fan wrote“I hope that after a long-awaited baby, pregnancy is going well for you and your body is coping with your exercise regimen. Best wishes.”

“Be careful!! Baby on board,” wrote a seventh fan.

Other fans jumped in to defend the pregnant dancer

Murgatroyd didn’t directly respond to the comments criticizing her workout routine, but in the comments, many fans defended the dancer’s choices, saying that she knows her body best and would certainly consult with her doctor about exercising.

“Nice for you! Exercising is great for you and the baby and makes labor easier!” wrote a fan.

“Any people who tell her not to exercise or that she’s doing too much, they have to stop. She knows she is pregnant. I’m also pretty sure she knows what she can and can’t do.” wrote another fan.

A added third fan, “Did you just seriously imply to a mother who has suffered a loss that her training might cause a loss?! What’s wrong with you! There is absolutely no connection between exercise and miscarriage. The training is actually very beneficial for baby and mother. It facilitates labor/birth and a faster recovery afterwards. As long as she has her doctor’s permission, which she clearly does, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with exercising throughout pregnancy. They don’t know anything about exercising during pregnancy and it shows.”

“I’m in awe of you! As someone past their childbearing age, I would LOVE to be able to do this! Please share what your average daily workout is like. You are inspirational!!!” wrote a fourth fan.

“She knows what she’s doing. If she wasn’t allowed to exercise, her doctor would have advised her not to.” wrote another fan.

A added sixth fan, “Really surprised by the comments. I’ve seen you perform live and you’re a top athlete who knows exactly what to do with his body. Thanks for sharing your workout.”

Murgatroyd and her husband, Dancing With the Stars pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy, are expecting their second child in June 2023. Their son Shai turned 6 in January.
