Synopses & Reviews
Every other book on shedding the baby pounds focuses on just one aspect of bouncing back; this book incorporates both exercise and diet - equally important parts of the equation - while also discussing the crucial mental factors. This book takes readers through a measured 52-week plan, but shows them how to regain the strength and tone they had before they were pregnant within weeks - the rest of the plan will help women get even stronger and help them lose the pregnancy weight and get back into shape. Chapters are organized on a monthly basis with four week subsections. Each week gives readers information about nutrition, cardio, flexibility, strength, mental outlook, etc depending what week is being covered, and an action plan for each week is outlined.
