The book also contains a range of healthy recipes that can be eaten at any time.
Each section of the book contains great fitness advice for that stage of motherhood: mom-to-be, pregnant moms, and new moms. From the beginning of the book, Sweeney emphasizes how important being fit and active is for being a mom and having healthy kids. She says that it's important to combine both cardio and strength training before and after pregnancy. However, there are certain activities that should not be done during pregnancy, like sports that have a high risk of falling or activities that might cause you to overheat. Sweeney also addresses pregnancy-specific exercises, like Kegels.
Although Alison Sweeney is a very successful television star, she know what it's like to be a busy mom. Her book is full of practical, doable advice. Of course, it's always good to talk with your doctor about your specific needs when it come to eating and working out while pregnant, but in general, this book offers solid advice. If you are a mom with your first baby or pregnant for the first time, this book can be a big help in staying fit and sane.
