South African dancer Nkateko ‘Takkies’ Maswanganye is finding creative ways to stay fit while pregnant, and earlier this month she shared an incredible video of herself dancing on a moving treadmill.
‘Who said the treadmill is only for running?’ she captioned the Instagram clip, which sees her showing off her baby bump in a metallic sports bra and matching leggings.
