Exercise After Pregnancy: How to Look and Feel Your Best, 2nd edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this book when I was 22 months post partum. I still have abdominal separation, and have been afraid to do ab exercises for fear of increasing it as I know doing ab exercises incorrectly can make a separation worse. I first bought Loose your Mummy tummy, but sucking in my stomach 100x at a time, up to 10x a day wasn't for me. The exercises in this book are challenging, but completely do-able, and I'm noticing that my ab separation is closing after only 3-4 weeks of doing the exercises, not even doing them every day. Great book!!

Buff Moms: The Complete Guide to Fitness for All Mothers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A friend of mine recommended this book, Buff Moms, because she has the Buff Brides book and LOVES it! This is a great book if you are wanting to get your body back into pre-baby shape. It has numerous exercises, some using weights or an exercise ball, as well as stretches. The book is broken down into weeks - postpartum - with appropriate exercises for each week. Get this book before you deliver so you can use it right away! (My little one is 13 months and I am currently using all the exercises and stretches in the book from weeks 3-6 postpartum in addition to my daily cardio) She also has a section on c-section deliveries and what exercises you can and can't do. She also covers nutrition as well as FAQs on postpartum physical changes and definitons. Great book, I highly recommend it!

Get Your Body Ready for the Marathon of Labor! If you're newly pregnant, you're probably watching your diet carefully, getting plenty of rest, and preparing for the arrival of your new baby. You're also thinking about the big day itself and what the experience of labor will be like. Even if you're following a regular fitness program, you'll want to do everything you can to strengthen and prepare your body for the rigors of labor. Maternal Fitness features clearly illustrated exercises that focus specifically on the muscle groups you'll use throughout labor, especially the transverse abdominals -- the stomach muscles that play a critical role during delivery. A powerful set of transverse abs can speed labor and delivery and make for a quick recovery. By learning how to strengthen your abdominals and relax your pelvic floor muscles, you'll be able to push more effectively. While the Maternal Fitness program is designed specifically for the big moment, it also has other benefits, from minimizing backache and fatigue to giving you a welcome head start on getting back into shape after childbirth. Developed by a professional trainer who is also a registered nurse and childbirth educator, the Maternal Fitness program is safe for you and your baby and easy to do. Once learned, it can be incorporated into any workout.

Lose Your Mummy Tummy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been working out for years, and worked out throughout my pregnancy.
For someone who has some very basic experience with weight training and doing ab work, the only revelation in this book is the focus on working the transverse abs.
You needn't buy this book if you have worked out at even a lower level. Simply plug in "transverse abdominal exercises" in google and you'll get a number of sites which give you exercises for this part of the body on the web for absolutely free.
As for the author's contention that more traditional ab exercises, increase the size of the "Mommy Tummy", having checked with my phsyical therapist...not proven.
As for the book itself: The author suggests that it is "easy" to work in 500 reps of the transverse exercises she recommends per day..and this for a new mother! As a new mother, I was lucky to brush my teeth...even counting to 500 would have been beyound my sleep deprived, stressed out brain!
You can save yourself the cost of this book, and if you don't have time to look for exercises for the transverse muscles, by just "sucking in" your "gut" as many times a day as you can.
