Your journey through a comfortable, safe, and confident pregnancy begins with Pregnancy Fitness.
This practical guide answers your questions and delivers the
information, exercises, and workouts you need to maintain your personal
fitness and enjoy the best possible experience in welcoming your baby to
the world.
Written by three experts in prenatal and postpartum fitness, pelvic floor exercise, and core restoration, Pregnancy Fitness
covers all physical and physiological aspects of pregnancy, birth, and
recovery so you can enjoy peace of mind throughout your pregnancy and
long after delivery.
You’ll get complete need-to-know

pregnancy aches and pains, along with critical information on diastasis

body from core dysfunction.
A full spectrum of stretching,

recovery. The sample workout programs guide you through each phase of
pregnancy, including postpartum, to help you establish and meet your
personal fitness goals with comfort and confidence.
