This is a great book for women who have just had a baby and are wondering when they can start working out again.  Deborah explains how pregnancy and birth effects some of the key muscles in the body. She discusses the impact of vaginal birth and Caesarean section.  She also goes over some of the physical and emotional issues a new Mom may face as she recovers from pregnancy and birth.Then she provides the time frames for returning to an exercise program.  There are some contraction type exercises you can do quite early.  Deborah provides detailed instructions for cardiovascular, muscular and flexibility exercises that will help the new Mom get back in shape.One thing I really like about this is the caring tone and the messages of caution about starting an exercise program too soon.  Deborah has just had a baby so she's speaking from personal experience.  Very good book!
