A Book OB Doctors NEED!!

I have used this book throughout my third pregnancy and the exercises and tips it has for all the pregnancy aches were absolutely wonderful! My doctor was little or no help answering simple questions about how to take care of my body and how to feel better physically. This book took care of all my normal pregnancy fitness questions. A MUST-even if you are not a fitness-type person!

A "must read" for exercising women....

Since I've bought this book, I've referred to it numerous times. What I like about it, is that it includes other "health" items such as meditation and nutrition. It divides each trimester up with a short synopsis in each trimester with "Your changing body", then "Cardio. fitness", "Getting Stronger" and "Enhancing Flexibility". The last chapter is for post partum fitness. Within each chapter, there are little quips about common ailment during each trimester and how to deal. I also appreciate that it uses the "percieved exertion" scale to help you figure out if your working out enough/too hard. It also gives info on heart rates. Love this book. Very easy to read and informative.

Empowering and encouraging

Pregnancy Fitness will encourage you to lead a more active lifestyle during pregnancy, regardless of your pre-pregnancy lifestyle. Unlike some other pregnancy fitness books, which can be a bit intimidating, this book is suitable for beginners as well as very active women. The book is divided into four sections:- The first trimester- The second trimester- The third trimester- Recovering your body.Each section includes a discussion of nutrition, flexibility, cardio, and the ergonomics of pregnancy. This is a terrific book that any mom-to-be will enjoy.

Perfect, straight-forward guide to pregnancy fitness

I bought this book as a gift to my wife and she found it to be an excellent, straight-forward exercise guide. She likes the way that the book is split into trimesters and the fact that the exercises are simple to do. We recommend it highly to all expectant mothers.

"You're all Baby!"ÿ

What a compliment it is to here that your friends think you have not gained much weight during your pregnancy so far. I truely believe that Ginny's book along with walking helped me stay in control. I found it helpful that each trimester had it's own section. Not only does each section explain the importance of your health, but the importance of your unborn child's health. I also found that the excercises helped relieve stress and make it less difficult to move around. It's important to stay flexible since your bones and muscles are changing in ways they have never changed before. I highly recommend Pregnancy Fitness not only for the helpful advice through the first three trimesters, but for the last section Recovering your Body. It will take time, lots of time to get back your body. I think I will be reading this chapter often, very often!
