MEET the mum who won over the internet by sharing adorable shots of her working out alongside her twin sons.
When 32-year-old Anna Strode was pregnant with her boys, she gained over four and a half stone, and was determined to slim down after she gave birth.
Now, her identical twin sons, Lachie and Samuel, continue to inspire her to lose weight - by always being by her side when she's exercising.
The 13-month-old boys have become a key part of mum Anna's training, and have won over all of the Melbourne mum's 44,000 Instagram followers.
And Anna, who describes herself as a "fit twin mummy" on her page, loves having the kids around whilst she's working up a sweat.
She said: “The best thing about involving Lachie and Samuel is that they keep getting heavier so I’m constantly being challenged.
“I love to incorporate them into my workouts with exercises like squats, lunges, planks and leg raises.
“Often they will play with their toys around me and sometimes the whole workout is spent chasing after them. The beauty of it is that every day is different so it keeps the body guessing."
When her boys were born, Anna struggled with the isolation of spending so much time at home.
But, through her love of fitness, she has managed to get in touch with other gym-loving mums online, and describes setting up her hit Instagram page as "the best thing I ever did."
She said: "I’ve often been contacted by mums all across the world asking for tips and ways to help them become healthier, happier parents.
“There have been a few negative responses to my workouts but that’s to be expected in the online world. But on the whole the feedback is very supportive.”
