Primetime Pregnancy: The Proven Program for Staying in Shape Before and After Your Baby is Born

The book includes exercises for the entire 9 months of pregnancy plus a 5-month postnatal exercise plan. The exercises in this book are easily done at home with minimal equipment (some exercises require light hand weights.) There are plenty of photos (though not every exercise has a photo) and good explanations on how to do each exercise. I found the exercises challenging, but not too difficult to do. The prenatal exercises are good, but this book's strong point is the postnatal exercise section. You are virtually guaranteed to get your body back if you follow the plan! The book does a lot of name-dropping and tells about various celebrities and their experiences trying to keep fit during pregnancy. It's supposed to be encouraging, but I found it kind of annoying. This book is strictly about exercise. There are not a lot of pregnancy tips like you find in Denise Austin's pregnancy exercise book or physiological information (see Essential Exercises for the Childbearing Year). If your'e serious about getting back in shape after baby, then this book is worth serious consideration.
