Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Current research has proven that it is not only safe for pregnant women to exercise, it is absolutely beneficial. Even if you are considered a high-risk pregnancy or are restricted to bed rest, you can and should exercise during this crucial time. This book includes specially designed exercises just for you.

Among the benefits of exercise and proper nutrition during pregnancy:

-Shorter, less painful labor

-Fewer birth defects

-Less excess weight gain

-Ease of regaining pre-pregnancy figure

-Healthier, calmer, and more intelligent babies

Birgitta Gallo's Expecting Fitness doesn't lead you through some leg lifts. It shows you how to modify your current sports activities-including tennis, golf, aerobics, swimming, even kickboxing-safely throughout your pregnancy. It also includes nutritional guidelines, relaxation and breathing techniques, and an illustrated guide to the changes the pregnant body goes through. It is a unique and comprehensive guide for any woman who wants to give her baby the best possible start in life.

Synopsis:

This is not only a comprehensive pregnancy fitness and nutrition guide, but it is also the first book to teach women how to modify any sport or physical activity for all stages of pregnancy and to give exercise alternatives for bed-rest and high-risk pregnancies.
