Baby Boot Camp: The New Mom's 9-Minute Fitness Solution

Great book! Makes working out with a new baby practical and fun. I found the workouts challenging and effective. It would make a great gift for any new mom.

I began taking Baby Boot Camp classes shortly after the birth of my daughter. I realized after my first session how deconditioned I had become after pregnancy, but stuck with it. Week after week, I became stronger and fitter. I believed in the workout program so much that I became certified as a Baby Boot Camp Instructor/Franchise Owner in Sunnyvale, Mountain View and Los Altos,CA, acquiring both my ACE Group Fitness Certification and NASM Personal Trainer Certification. I know there are times when the moms (and dads)in my classes just can't make it to class due to their busy schedules, poor weather, or their babies being ill. This book is a great tool for them to still get a short workout in at home and incorporates a lot of the same exercises that I use in my classes. The book is very well laid out with a natural progression of workouts based on the baby's age and the mom's increasing postpartum fitness levels. It demonstrates optimum exercises for new moms to avoid injury and help them regain their prepregnancy figure. I would highly recommend this book to all new moms who want to safely get back into a workout routine.

The photos in this book are terrific...I love how the chapters are laid out in simple way to show new moms (or anyone) clearly how to properly do each exercise. A picture is worth a thousand words in this book. I'm buying this for all my baby shower gifts.

Baby Boot Camp is full of concise exercises, making it manageable for any mom. The color pictures are amazing, making the exercises easy to follow. I ordered several books for my Christmas gift list!
