Editorial Reviews: The expectant mother's guide to safe and healthy exercise Fit Pregnancy For Dummies shows women the basics of exercising while pregnant and guides them step by step through fun, healthy workout routines that they can continue and modify through each trimester. From fitness walking, running, swimming, water aerobics, and yoga to low-impact aerobics, biking, and weight training, it explains which sports and activities are well suited to pregnancy--and which should be avoided. It also offers advice on staying fit after giving birth, finding time for exercise and motherhood, and getting the family involved in the quest for fitness.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Good book for beginners. Comment: I think this book is good for people who are new to exercising. I know it's a "Dummies" book, but it had too much basic information for me. I ended up returning it. I am looking for a book that will modify my current workout, and include some new exercises to keep me fit during my pregnancy. If you have a recommendation, please contact me. Thanks Customer Rating: Summary: Helpful Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Awesome Resource Comment: 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 Customer Rating: Summary: Accurate and accessible Comment: Finally...a fitness guide which accurately covers topics for those women anticipating pregnancy, or who are currently pregnant or post-partum. Too often, pregnancy guides tend towards a patronizing tone and as a physical therapist I find them hard to recommend. This thorough text encourages a woman to trust in herself while giving pointers for seeking professional guidance when necessary. The uplifting tone elevates women thereby encouraging them to begin or continue an active pregnancy both for the benefit of themselves and their babies. Customer Rating: Summary: An essential for any pregnant exerciser. Comment: Even today many doctors are uneducated and uninformed about exercise and pregnancy. Fit Pregnancy for Dummies is an invaluable resource that can alleviate anxiety one might have about exercising during pregnancy. Expert Catherine Cram provides a wealth of information based on the latest research, numerous ideas and examples for, and motivation, for helping one make healthy decisions about exercising during pregnancy. As a fitness professional and a new mom I have a special appreciation for this work. Ellen Karpay-Brody Fitness Consultant and Author of The Everything Total Fitness Book More Reviews
