Strictly Come Dancing's star Oti Mabuse has opened up on her pregnancy journey, disclosing that she had to halt dancing and fitness activities due to them triggering pregnancy nausea.
The 33-year-old dancer is now back on her feet, resuming her workout routine. She recently posted a video montage on Instagram, showcasing her fitness regime which includes lifting light weights, squatting, stretching, and treadmill walking.
Mabuse expressed her renewed enjoyment for working out after a prolonged hiatus, stating in her caption: "I actually do enjoy working out lately again."
She explained the reason behind her break, saying: "In the beginning it was the one thing along with dancing that would cause my nausea so I stayed away for the longest of time. This obviously was a huge adjustment for my body, mental health and stamina and came with with another huge but beautiful life lesson. I am creating a human being and whatever my body needs I should listen to it."
With her health improving, Mabuse is thrilled to be active again, stating: "But now that I can walk, run, lift weights again... I'm excited to get active again." The former Strictly professional couldn't resist adding a humorous note about her changing physique, exclaiming: "And this new ass... OH MY DAYS [laughing face] I love it".
