Nike Run Club coach Sara Wiss proves that pregnant women can be serious badasses. In this video on her Instagram page, the Swedish personal trainer displays some jaw-dropping strength: Not only does she crank out five chin-ups with impeccable form (a feat impressive enough on its own!), she does so at 41 weeks.<\/p>\n
\u201cKeep calm! I\u2019m still pregnant\u2026#week41 #weightedpullups\u201d Wiss said in the caption. Unsurprisingly, her followers went wild, congratulating the mom-to-be: \u201cDang mama!!! Get it! So inspiring,\u201d wrote one user. \u201cMany can\u2019t do a pull up and with the extra weight (thumbs up),\u201d said another.<\/p>\n
