Rachael Finch has hit out at her parenting critics.
The former Miss Universe Australia winner, 35, took to Instagram to share a new clip of her children exercising indoors on Friday.
In the video, Rachael – who shares daughter Violet, eight, and son Dominic, five, with husband Michael Miziner – can be seen stepping on her daughter’s toes while the eight-year-old does sit-ups.
Meanwhile, Dominic showed off his enthusiasm for fitness as he energetically performed star-jumps in the background.
‘Haters gonna love this one today. Family fitness inside today to get our mind & body feeling good,’ she captioned the story.
It comes after the Australian TV host was recently criticised by fans when she shared a video of herself jogging behind Violet while screaming words of encouragement during a cross country race.
Rachael then hit back at the critics in an Instagram video on May 30 and insisted she was just ‘motivating her child to do her best’.
‘Just a quick message to anyone wanting to criticise or personally attack me for wanting to support, encourage and motivate my child to do the very best that she can do,’ she said.

‘Just a couple of things. One, check your facts. And two, check back in eight or so years when Violet is an adult to see the progress.’
Journalists Amy, Kate and Sophie Taeuber had taken aim at the blogger on their Outspoken podcast, describing her approach as ‘next level’ and arguing it could have ‘put off’ the other kids in the race.
They pointed out that there would have been plenty of children running behind Rachael, given that Violet placed 12th out of 100.
Rachael often passionately hits back at comments about her parenting as she previously slammed trolls who accused her of ‘underfeeding’ her children with a ‘strict’ diet.

In April, she was branded an ‘almond mum’ and accused of ‘endangering’ her kids after sharing a video of herself making them ‘naked burgers’ using lettuce cups instead of bread rolls.
‘Almond mum’ is a pejorative term for a mother who pushes disordered and unhealthy eating habits on her children. It is often used to refer to parents who are ‘obsessed’ with nutrition.
A fired-up Rachael argued that the baseless accusation was frankly ‘hilarious’ as she slammed the critics of her healthy dinners.
Sharing a photo of herself cuddling up to her two children, Rachael wrote: ‘Someone officially labeled me an “almond mum” this week.

‘Definition according to Google: “A parent who follows incredibly strict or dangerously unhealthy eating habits and attempts to force them on their children.”
‘This was because I made naked burgers for dinner (meat patty and veggies wrapped in a lettuce cup).
‘Whilst it’s downright nasty, it’s also absurdly hilarious. I’ve become a pro at emotionally responding to these comments now.
‘I’ve had a giggle with a lot of you on what type of mum you would be if you were labelled by a food. Comment what type of food mum you would be?’
‘Haters gonna love this one today. Family fitness inside today to get our mind & body feeling good,’ she captioned the story
Several of Rachael’s followers agreed ‘almond mum’ was an unfair label as they flocked to support the star.
In her cooking video, Rachael was shown preparing mini beef burgers with vegetables, including gherkins, carrots and rocket, as well as smashed avocado and tomato sauce, for her children.
She placed the ingredients in a lettuce cup, rather than a bread roll, and was widely criticised for allegedly giving her kids ‘disordered eating’ with the healthy meal in a wild claim.
