Editorial Reviews

Review
“…this comprehensive book is for you…all aspects of exercise in pregnancy are covered…” (Health & Fitness, October 2004)

“…practical advice on all aspects of pregnancy…” (Yoga & Health, September 2004)

Product Description
The expectant mother's guide to safe and healthy exercise

Fit Pregnancy For Dummies shows women the basics of exercising while pregnant and guides them step by step through fun, healthy workout routines that they can continue and modify through each trimester. From fitness walking, running, swimming, water aerobics, and yoga to low-impact aerobics, biking, and weight training, it explains which sports and activities are well suited to pregnancy--and which should be avoided. It also offers advice on staying fit after giving birth, finding time for exercise and motherhood, and getting the family involved in the quest for fitness.

5.0 out of 5 stars An essential for any pregnant exerciser., July 21, 2004
By Ellen Karpay-Brody (San Rafael, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Even today many doctors are uneducated and uninformed about exercise and pregnancy. Fit Pregnancy for Dummies is an invaluable resource that can alleviate anxiety one might have about exercising during pregnancy. Expert Catherine Cram provides a wealth of information based on the latest research, numerous ideas and examples for, and motivation, for helping one make healthy decisions about exercising during pregnancy. As a fitness professional and a new mom I have a special appreciation for this work.

4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful, August 9, 2005
The book gave very good tips on where to find different activities to do while pregnant. It also includes help for those who haven't worked out before. Not as much help for someone who was very athletic prior to becoming pregnant. It is really for those who have no or limited knowledge of working out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Resource, February 16, 2005
By Anne M. Connor "Book Lover" (Fitchburg, Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a fitness enthusiast and mother of three, I loved the peace of mind I got from reading this book. I've been exercising all my life and didn't want to stop when I got pregnant. Cram and Drenth offer a no-nonsense approach to staying fit and healthy from the first trimester to the last. I highly recommend this book.
