Bouncing Back After Baby (Cold Spring Press Fitness) [Paperback]

Becky Youman (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 6, 2004 | Series: Cold Spring Press Fitness

Quickly regain strength and tone while dropping excess pregnancy pounds! 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent New Mom Resource, April 19, 2004

By 

Laura Horton (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bouncing Back After Baby (Cold Spring Press Fitness) (Paperback)

This book is great in a lot of ways. I really like how it goes through the entire year, not just a few months. I also like how it addresses exercise, nutrition and mental health. As a new mom, there are definitely some weeks that my mental health needs a boost -- this book delivers a year's worth of pointers. You can tell the author just went through this experience herself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Down to Earth Advice, April 14, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Bouncing Back After Baby (Cold Spring Press Fitness) (Paperback)

I like this book because the author is a new mom herself and knows that complicated workouts and restrictive eating plans just aren't happening right now. I can follow the plan for each week and feel good without being overwhelmed. (I'm overwhelmed enough as it is right now...anybody else feel that way?)

This book has really helped me. My mind is filled with 10,000 baby-related thoughts, so my favorite thing is that it gives very specific instructions for each week. That's exactly what I need right now.
