Sharing a workout video on Instagram a few months ago, Sania revealed that she had put on 23 kg during pregnancy. Believe me that one hour or 2 hours a day to yourself will do wonders to you physically, but so much mentally as well, she wrote. Take a look:
With sleepless nights and fatigue after the birth of her baby, there were days when her body wanted to give up and accept that it may never respond to exercise the same way as before, but Sania continued. It was my mind that kept me going my jumps could get higher, my technique could get better, my stamina could get betterbut it doesnt happen over night! It is a process and once we accept that nothing can hold us back, she said.
