Fit pregnancy for Dummies,
By barb boulden (viroqua, wi United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fit Pregnancy For Dummies (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book!It covers every area you could need to start an exercise program for yourself during your pregnancy. Whether you are just getting started or already have been exercising it covers a wide variety of information. The book does a very good job of motivating you to have an overall healthy lifestyle along with your pregnancy. It is written in an easy to read format, even it you have limited time, with many helpful tips. As a mother of three I realize how easy it is to sacrifice every minute for your family. But if you can find a time for yourself to exercise it is amazing how you will have more energy and be a happier mom for your kids!! This book definately will help you find a way to fit it into your lifestyle.

Helpful,
By Leann Fechter - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fit Pregnancy For Dummies (Paperback)
The book gave very good tips on where to find different activities to do while pregnant. It also includes help for those who haven't worked out before. Not as much help for someone who was very athletic prior to becoming pregnant. It is really for those who have no or limited knowledge of working out.

This review is from: Fit Pregnancy For Dummies (Paperback)
As a fitness enthusiast and mother of three, I loved the peace of mind I got from reading this book. I've been exercising all my life and didn't want to stop when I got pregnant. Cram and Drenth offer a no-nonsense approach to staying fit and healthy from the first trimester to the last. I highly recommend this book.Anne Connor Fitness writer and Editor of ANEW Magazine Middleton, Wisconsin |
