Iya Villania believes in exercising while pregnant.

Netizens expressed their concern for Iya who continues to work out during her pregnancy. In the Instagram Stories of the Kapuso star, she says people should not stress about it as what she's doing is completely safe for her and her second baby boy.

She said that exercise routines should be safe as long as you seek medical advice beforehand. “Yes! It is safe to continue your workout while pregnant. Unless you have complications with your pregnancy and your doctor advises for you to rest, then it is safe. Get the go signal from your doc! Don’t be afraid to move. That’s why it’s best to get fit for pregnancy! If you got pregnant while working out then it’s indeed safe to keep at it. Just don’t make it a time to try exceed prior fitness levels. Again, just get the go signal from your doc!”

Iya added that working out before getting pregnant will make it easier for women to continue with their routines when the baby comes. She explains, “Working out prior to pregnancy and making it a lifestyle will give you the confidence to keep moving during your pregnancy! And although it’s easy to get shaken with what others say, you’ll know and feel that what you’re doing is good for both you and your baby.”

The fit mommy's advice is to listen to your body. “Get fit for pregnancy and most likely you’ll be able to keep fit during your pregnancy. Just listen to your body and know when to slow down! Don’t be scared to #MoveYourBump”
