This is a good book. It gives detailed descriptions of all the exercises as well as some photos. Since there is a lot of reading of exercise descriptions, it would probably be a good idea to get this book before you have the baby. I found it difficult to read & practice the exercises once I had my baby.

I'm sure that Ms. Byrne is a great teacher in person, but the exercises described in this book are really hard to follow. Getting into the right position, holding the right muscles and trying not to make mistakes was just too much. I gave up and went to step aerobics -- much more fun.

I got this book to help me exercise after my c-section. It has good information but was rather too in-depth and technical for my post baby, sleep deprived, no-time-to-read life. I needed something that I could read and absorb in the periodic fleeting two minutes of peace I'd get every couple hours, and then be able to do while I cared for the baby. This book set out to teach me the detailed workings of muscle groups and how they interacted with others which would have been great for me in my previous life of having time to understand how everything worked, but not now.
