Australian CrossFit trainer Revie Jane is the latest woman to be criticized for working on her fitness while pregnant.

The online criticism started on Boxing Day, shortly after she posted a video of herself lifting 88-pound weights. She wrote that she did six sets of five repetitions, “stayed super hydrated,” and kept her body temperature low with a wet towel and a fan.

Boxing Day Sesh with husband, Hayden and Christina at @crossfitdevour It was super hot so I stayed super hydrated, next to the fan and had a wet towel to keep my body temp low. Here's some of my squats, I did 6 sets of 5 Backsquats at 40kg. It felt good to have some weight on the bar today 😊 #6monthspregnant #ActivePregnancy #FitPregnancy #26Weeks
