Synopsis
After the life-changing (and body-altering) experience of childbirth, many new mothers discover it's difficult to get back into a regular exercise routine. Luckily, perinatal exercise specialist Helene Byrne has developed a fast, safe, and effective exercise program that restores your body to optimum shape just months after childbirth. "Exercise After Pregnancy" offers a three-step program you can start days after giving birth without any specialized equipment. It's the only post-pregnancy exercise program that counterbalances all of the biomechanical stresses of pregnancy and childbirth while realigning the spine and developing core strength and flexibility.
