Still Want More,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fit & Pregnant: The Pregnant Woman's Guide to Exercise (Paperback)
This was the first book I bought on pregnancy fitness. I found the information to be good, but not really informative. I felt that several topics were touched on, but I was not satisfied from my reading of any of them, and I still felt I had more questions after reading each section. I didn't feel that I was learning anything new that wasn't available in any other general pregnancy book. I returned it and got the Birgitta Gallo book instead, and I have found her book to be extremely informative and helpful and expect to be using it as a guide for many months to come!

This review is from: Fit & Pregnant: The Pregnant Woman's Guide to Exercise (Paperback)
I found this book helpful in keeping me on track with my workouts during my pregnancy. I also liked that the book was written by a woman athlete and doctor. She uses real examples from her own experience combined with up to date research. If you are trying to keep on track with your workout schedual during pregnancy this is a great place for inspiration!
