It's a keeper!!, Feb 26 2004

This review is from: The Everything Pregnancy Fitness (Paperback)
This book offers guidance on pregnancy fitness in a straightforward and engaging way. As a huge fan of the gym, I was very impressed with the weight training advice. And I so wish that the comprehensive relaxation section was available to me with my previous pregnancies.
The author did a great job making exercise - not the easiest thing to stay motivated about while getting bigger and bigger and more off-balance - something to look forward to.
Now that I'm pregnant with my fourth child and think I know everything there is to know about being pregnant, it's a surprise to find out that I still have some stuff to learn.
I highly recommend this book!

Ok for overview, April 22 2006

As a web-savvy pregnant woman who is concerned about preparing the muscles for easier delivery and faster recovery after pregnancy, I found this book to be somewhat disappointing in terms of finding information not readily available on the web. It is ok as an overview and contains some useful exercises, but does not specifically address my concerns as well as Maternal Fitness by Julie Tupler, which really goes into detail on the how and why of specific exercises. I would recommend buying that book over this one if you must have only one book. Otherwise The Everything Pregnancy Book is not bad for those also looking for general pregnancy fitness guidelines.

Great book, Great topic!, April 6 2004

This is THE best book on pregnancy fitness I have ever seen. If staying fit during your 9 months of pregnancy is important to you, this is the book you MUST have! The author obviously has a great grasp on this topic and has brought it to a level that we understand and won't need a dictionary to interpret. This would also make a super gift to a newly pregnant friend.
