Gal Gadot shot ‘Wonder Woman’ five-months pregnant and the minute that news hit the newsstands, people were in awe! And, why not? She’s breaking the glass ceiling and everyone’s rooting hard for her. Woo hoo! Just like this Olympic runner, Alysia Montaño.

Alysia, ran the in the Track and Field Nationals last week while wearing a Wonder Woman half-shirt exposing her midriff, and we can’t help but commend the mommy-to-be.

The reason behind choosing that WW tee was intentional, because she associates herself with the DC superhero. Alysia told Team USA,

Now, isn’t that real-life Wonder Woman-esque qualities? Hell, yeah!

If you are wondering about the health risks of Mom and baby, then don’t worry. It is perfectly safe and actually, recommended.

Alysia Montano races in the 800 meters at the 2017 USATF Outdoor Championships while 5 months pregnant. YES, it is perfectly safe to be active during pregnancy. In fact, every single client of mine who worked with me through her pregnancy reports that without question, every aspect of her experience was better because she stayed active. YES, each pregnancy is different, and each woman needs to make this decision for herself, with her doctor. The ACOG official position statement on pregnancy and exercise says: "Physical activity during pregnancy has minimal risks and has been shown to benefit most women, although some modification to exercise routines may be necessary because of the normal anatomic and physiologic changes and fetal requirements." Therfore, WAY TO GO @alysiamontano and @emilyskyefit for being amazing inspirations. #womensstrengthnation Big thanks to 📷 @jeffcohenphoto for this amazing moment. ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ #fitness #fitspo #fitfam #strength #gym #workout #exercise #fitnessaddict #fit #fitspiration #fitnessmotivation #girlsthatlift #bodybuilding #fitgirls #healthy #instafit #GirlsWithMuscles #Women #squat #deadlift

Waiting at the finish line was her almost-three-year-old daughter, Linnea. Alysia runs because she wants to be an inspiration to millions of moms and daughters, and of course, to her own daughter.

My mission as a mother, as a daughter, as a sister, as a friend, and as a human is to always fight for good and the empowerment of others. I hope that one day my children can look at the world through a lens filled with kindness, compassion, hope, empowerment and purpose. I hope when my children think of me in their pursuits they might see me as an example of strength and not only think "Strong like Mom", but perhaps they may see their abilities and think "Stronger THAN Mom". #motivationmonday #LetsDoThisForTheseBabies

This is not the first time she ran while she was preggers. At the same event, in 2014, Montaño ran when she was 8-months-pregnant.

Great read on the many #TeamUSA athlete mamas who have exercised in their pregnancy, some even "competed" during and returned to competition post-partum. ⭐️shocked to find out that only 20 percent of women in a recent study exercise in their pregnancy even after being encouraged noting it helps prevent a whole host of issues that can arise in pregnancy like gestational diabetes and preeclampsia. ⭐️I'm sorry for those women who are made to feel disempowered by others putting them down about physical activity in their pregnancy, thus making them fearful and shy away from healthy activity. ⭐️Only fact check I'd say is the at the end the article said "she will not compete" referring to me and my second pregnancy… I never said that 😜. • Also missing Team USA athlete @stephrothstein who ran through her two pregnancies that were 6months apart, returned to competition to make Team USA in XC and qualify for the Olympic trials. 🔗Check the link in my bio to read more. ▫️ ▫️ ▫️ #run #runner #running #fit #runtoinspire #fitmomsofig #furtherfasterstronger #seenonmyrun #trailrunning #trailrunner #runchat #runhappy #instagood #time2run #fanvee #instafit #happyrunner #runners #photooftheday #trailrun #fitness #workout #cardio #training #instarunner #instarun #workouttime #fitmom @fitpregnancy @healthy.pregnancy @pregnancyworkout
