We support moms who continue or start an exercise routine once their babies are on board, but fitness influencer Krissy Cela (@krissycela) is facing accusations of putting her baby at risk during one of her workouts.
The entrepreneur and co-founder and creative director of the companies @oneractive and @evolveyou often posts workout videos from her home gym, but one recent post caught Redditors’ eye because of the special guest appearance in the video:
Cera posted a story showcasing her mid-squat sesh while her infant sat perched on the floor directly underneath the bar.
Cera has not responded to the backlash, but does appear to be proud of her post-baby body.
The new mom has also addressed the amount of mom shaming she has received and shared that she has struggled with postpartum depression, so working out is an important part of her overall health and wellness.
“Having my first baby was a blessing but equally led to a lot of post partum depression, anxiety and pressure,” she admitted in an Instagram post, adding:
“Being a mum and a founder has not been easy tbh maternity leave wasn’t an option and let’s not get into how much judgment I’ve faced, btw who even normalised mum shaming? Are we not bored of that’s yet?”
“I’m choosing to block the noise, focus on growing this beautiful business and continue to make product that make women feel STRONG.”
