Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A practical handbook for: the regular exerciser who wishes to do much more than just flatten her tummy after having her baby, plus the exercise instructor who desires a better understanding of what postnatal fitness is and how to go about teaching it safely. In covering key areas such as the changes pregnancy brings to the joints of the spine and pelvis, and to the muscles of the pelvic floor and abdomen, Judy DiFiore provides a better understanding of how the body should be carefully returned to regular exercise. She discusses the principles behind prudent selelction of suitable movements, and gives a number of essential and safe exercises.
