Model From Viral Pregnant Photo Is Kickboxing Like A Pro At 37 Weeks

by Taylor Ortega

Fitness model Chontel Duncan is doing things 37 weeks into her pregnancy my childless body couldn't do even after chugging one of Gwyneth Paltrow's superhuman moon dust shakes.

The Queensland, Australia resident is expecting her son to arrive March 30, but until her first child is born, she's kickboxing her heart out and staying active.

Some followers criticized the active mom-to-be following the release of a photo taken five months into Duncan's pregnancy that depicted a small baby bump.

Duncan told Us Weekly,

People think I'm harming my baby… and that I'm all about staying skinny and not nourishing my little D. I know it's hard to believe that someone can carry a child the way I am, but in reality, a lot of women carry like me.

Human beings are not known for their casual acceptance of all different body types, but Duncan insisted she and her little one are perfectly healthy.

In the years to come, there may even be an Instagram video of a tiny toddler kicking alongside his mom, so let's just eagerly await that adorableness and let Duncan do her thing.
