“A lot of people think it’s gross or strange or that I should be bonding with Magnus, but I feed six times a day, I’m not exercising every time and when I do I’m also watching the kids ride around on their scooters and play outside,” she told the Daily Mail Australia. We are/were all busy mums but I think our children deserve us to be completely in the moment with them.” And: “I honestly don’t understand why it’s necessary to exercise whilst breastfeeding? Is it even comfortable? Can you concentrate on doing the exercise properly?”īut Kieser defended herself against the hate. The comments below the photo include things like: “Cut the multitasking crap for 10 and enjoy the one-on-one time with your child.

Naysayers were quick to criticize Kieser, who is a personal trainer, for not focusing solely on breastfeeding. If you can get in a workout while also taking care of your child, what could be wrong with that?īut viewers of this picture don't all feel the way we do. After all it is so easy for parents to neglect their own bodies and needs in the first few years and we think it's incredibly important for moms to keep up with the things that make them feel great. Kieser dubbed the move 'breastercising,' and we're in favor of both the act itself and the term given to it, provided it's carried out in a safe way. To each her own, right? Go get 'em, Sharny! Then at night we sit quietly and feed.'Ī perfect response! Though it's sad that in this day and age, the mom of six even felt the need to have to defend herself. 'It's not like I'm running or leg pressing or doing weights, I'm doing squats and lunges as they are the easiest things to do while feeding. 'A lot of people think it's gross or strange or that I should be bonding with Magnus, but I feed six times a day, I'm not exercising every time and when I do I'm also watching the kids ride around on their scooters and play outside,' Sharny told the Daily Mail Austrailia.

'We are/were all busy mums but I think our children deserve us to be completely in the moment with them.'Īdded another: 'I honestly don't understand why it's necessary to exercise whilst breastfeeding? Is it even comfortable? Can you concentrate on doing the exercise properly?'Īpparently she can. 'Don't have an issue with breast feeding at all, I think it's wonderful, but for the little time you have them as tiny tots could you cut the multitasking crap for 10 mins and enjoy the one on one time with your child,' wrote one commenter. It's not disgusting at all.'īut the proud husband's photo apparently sparked controversy for a different reason.

'I don't get the whole breastfeeding in public problem. ‪#‎breastercising‬,' her husband Julius wrote on Facebook, captioning an image that showed his wife lunging while nursing their two-week-old son, Magnus. What is surprising is the reaction Sharny received after a photo of her breastfeeding while working out went viral. It's no surprise, then, that she's already back to doing lunges just two weeks after popping out another baby-her sixth!. , which was inspired by her own journey losing the 66 pounds she'd gained after her first three children. Exercising is nonnegotiable for 35-year-old mom Sharny Kieser, who is also a fitness trainer and the author of the Healthy Junk cookbook
