Pregnancy Exercise Book, The : A Step-By-Step Program for Achieving Optimal Fitness Throughout the Trimesters

Rating:
Summary: A well planned workout.
Review: When I found out I was pregnant I was at a loss as to how I was going to maintain my fitness as I used to do kick-boxing and Tae Bo three to four times times a week! Obviously that wasn't suitable so I bought this book to help me structure a challenging workout. It begins with warm-ups and mobility stretches before the aerobic exercises which can be done at various levels to suit everyone. Then follows strengthening and toning before the final streches (including those dreaded pelvic floor exercises) and relaxation. Altogether it is a good workout that you can vary according to your energy levels and mood. The reason I gave it four stars instead of five is that the complete routine takes a lot longer than the hour stated but there are shorter routines to compensate. I feel great anyway and I don't feel that my fitness has decreased at all since I got pregnant!!!
