Even during pregnancy, Samantha Ruth Prabhu is staying consistent with her gym sessions. She, along with many other celebrities, has proven that pregnancy is not an illness and that expecting mothers can stay active throughout this phase.
Depending on their doctor's advice, women can strength train, lift weights, swim, walk, practise yoga, and engage in several other forms of exercise. Samantha, who is expecting her first child at 39 with husband and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru, is focusing on strength training.

Samantha shared that throughout her life, she had trained to do more and push boundaries at the gym. However, in this new phase, she is learning to respect her body and listen to it when it asks her to rest.

"My trainer is also certified in prenatal training, and everything you see here is modified for my body, my experience, and my pregnancy," she added.
