Product Description

From Library Journal

Exercising during pregnancy makes for an easier delivery and faster recovery for the mother. Katz has worked in the aquatics field for over 30 years and is the author of five other books on fitness, including Swimming for Total Fitness (LJ 4/1/93). Here, she explains the benefits of fitness during pregnancy and the special qualities that make water exercise one of the best ways to attain a good level of fitness while pregnant. Each exercise is well illustrated and clearly described. Some examples are supplemented with extra tips and variations. Also included are descriptions of popular swimming strokes, specific workout plans for each trimester, plus a section on getting back into shape postpartum. Recommended for large public libraries.

2.0 out of 5 stars If you do it in a pool, call it water fitness..., Aug 12 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Water Fitness During Your Pregnancy (Paperback)
I was extremely disappointed in this book. It read like an instruction manual dumbed down to elementary grade levels. The stretches in the book could mostly be done on land. The definitions were over the top. Defining water, then defining fitness, then (they actually put them together)... I'll save you the money. If you already know how to swim, do that.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent resource for mothers-to-be, Jun 25 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Water Fitness During Your Pregnancy (Paperback)
This book is packed with useful information for women who are eager to remain active during their pregnancies. The clear instructions and easy-to-follow illustrations ensure that even beginners can enjoy a safe and healthy workout. The book also contains clear guidelines on modifying your workout as your pregnancy progresses. This is the best book of its type available, which is why I recommended it in my own book, The Unofficial Guide to Having A Baby.

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless if you want to swim laps, July 3 2008
By A customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Water Fitness During Your Pregnancy (Paperback)
I got this book from the library because I wanted more information/ tips about swimming during pregnancy. I'm glad I didn't buy it, because the tips for technique are crazy (like inhale and exhale using BOTH your mouth and your nose), and the sets go along the lines of "swim freestyle for 400 meters". I don't need a book to come up with that!
