Mumbai: Actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu has shared a glimpse of her workout routine during her third trimester, giving followers a look at how she has adapted her fitness sessions during pregnancy.
Samantha, who is expecting her first child with filmmaker Raj Nidimoru in December 2026, posted a video from her latest workout session on social media on Friday.
In the video, the actor can be seen performing seated cable rows, a strength-training exercise involving a resistance handle pulled towards the torso while remaining in a seated position. Samantha is seen performing the movement in a controlled manner, with her baby bump visible.
Sharing the video, Samantha wrote, “Equal parts ‘strong till the very end’ and ‘please don’t make me get up.’”
Samantha adapts fitness routine
