Alex Morgan is due to give birth to her first child [3] (a daughter!) this month, and this week she revealed one of the things keeping her "sane, fit, and feeling good": workouts in her garage gym. Morgan shared a snippet of one workout, which involved lunges, goblet squats, and resistance band deadlifts and back exercises. Clearly she's keeping up her modified training even with gyms closed and a daughter on the way, which is what you do when you're aiming to make the USWNT roster for the Olympics (now postponed a year [4]). Why take on that unique and challenging journey?
Beyond her own personal goals, Morgan told Glamour, "I want women to feel like they don't have to choose [5] one or the other. The more female athletes that are moms in their career, the better — from Allyson Felix [6], to Serena Williams [7], to my teammate Sydney Leroux [8]."
An inspiration on and off the field, a two-time World Cup champ, and now our new motivation for our at-home workouts. Check out Morgan's routine above.
