And after giving the baby a dummy, she began her run, explaining on the video that she would jog until her baby started to cry and wanted to be picked up.Content cannot be displayed without consentWhile she did manage to keep her baby happy for a while with the dummy, as soon as she started to cry, Angela jumped off the treadmill and grabbed the baby carrier.‌"She started crying, so she's gonna join me now," Angela revealed on the video, as she strapped her baby in close to her chest before returning to the treadmill to complete her workout, but instead of jogging, she went on an inclined walk."Walked her to sleep," she revealed as the baby was now fast asleep on her chest, as she got ready to leave the gym one hour after arriving.Despite the seemingly innocent video, thousands of people quickly took to the comment section to share their thoughts, as many had conflicting feelings about bringing a baby to the gym.‌Some went on to shame the mother for brining the baby to the gym, claiming it was 'unsafe'. One person said: “So dangerous to walk on a treadmill with the baby, WTF.""Gyms are so different here in uk, no children under age of 16! It’s so noisy and certainly not an environment for a baby! I find this odd," a second viewer said. Someone else added: "Yea that’s not allowed over in Australia…. Massive safety risk"Some had more sympathy, as another wrote: "I'm so conflicted about this. I get wanting to exercise postpartum. I was itching to get back to get those endorphins going. But could no one else watch the baby for the hour? I think it’s also important to have that time by yourself and keep the baby safe."Article continues belowHowever, several also went on to defend Angela for going to the gym, as one said: "These comments are insane, women can’t do anything with criticism, especially mothers."Another viewer praised: "Can we give this mom credit for taking care of her mental health and body, while bringing her baby with her? I see so many harsh comments, this is amazing, we don’t know her story.. I see a bad ass, hard working mom."
