Many more women now participate in all types of exercise and during pregnancy often want to continue to work out and keep fit. As a result of pregnancy many women have a lot of questions and concerns about exercises and what is safe for their baby. Even these days, women are often given conflicting advice and are left unsure or confused over exactly what exercise they can or cannot do. Pregnancy and Exercise is written for the expectant mother and will: - answer any questions women might have - educate mums to be about the changes happening to them during pregnancy and how these relate to exercises - take out the guess work to allow pregnant women to make informed decisions - give women the confidence to exercise through their pregnancy, to make them stronger for birth and fit enough to cope with a demanding baby.

Format:Paperback
I already use a gym so when I became pregnant wanted to carry on doing so safely. This book is excellent, covering many different types of gym equipment and classes, swimming and running, and advising what is suitable for those who are or are not used to exercising. It breaks the advice down into trimesters and is written in a no-nonsense, friendly manner. Also provides good core muscle activities that can be done at home, Kegel exercises and some sensible healthy eating advice. There's a list of unsuitable activities. She also explains why things are or are not recommended. The format is nice too, it's a very user-friendly book. Highly recommended.

I currently teach exercise classes to pregnant and post natal women and found this book both interesting and useful. The guideance goes along with most of what i already know and teach and the pictures were brilliant.

Cherry Baker is an excellent and experienced instructor for both the general public and Pilates and Fitness instructor alike, she has also developed one of the most comprehensive Pilates Instructor training courses available. In this book this knowledge and experience shines through, showing expectant mother functional and safe exercises and all to consider when doing them.
I would highly recommend this book as a valuable resource, as a mother who has exercised through two pregnancies and returned to full fitness after two large babies and c-sections. Thank you Cherry

This book is a lot of waffle, I am sure the information in it is correct. However it could be condensed to at least half the size and consequently be smaller and easier to read. Read more
