Super Fit Mama: Stay Fit During Pregnancy and Get Your Body Back After Baby

I like Tracy's format for workouts (5-10 minute segments that can be done all together or spaced if need be) because you can fit them in and still see results! I have 2 little ones (3 and 1) and am expecting the 3rd. My girls also like to do the exercises with me and since the sets are short and varied (strength and cardio together); it holds their attention. I am not "uber-fit" but I have completed (and did reasonably well) a sprint-triathlon and a 10k. I find Tracy's workouts to be challenging enough. Her format is such you can make it as challenging or as easy as you need to. I am 32 weeks and have enjoyed having exercises geared toward my trimester. The book also has interesting pregnancy info.

I think the most appealing aspect of this book is that it's not just a "fitness" guide. I found this to be a seamless pregnancy guide for the woman for whom fitness and healthy eating are already a lifestyle (or an aspiration!) The author's experiences made her relateable, which is helpful. I like that she admits putting on a few more pounds than she planned and feeling self-conscience. Who wants pre- and postnatal fitness advice from a pregnant popsicle stick? I also think her goals are reasonable and, from the many success profiles included (don't we all love "before" and "after" pictures?)attainable. There are no "flat-abs in 4 weeks" promises. While my doctor side-lined me for the first trimester, I look forward to (hopefully)jumping in to her plan in the 2nd.

Very informative and easy to read. It touches everything on how to eat and how to workout before and after the baby. There is so much information in this book that is very useful!! Highly reccomended!!!!

This is a great book that covers everything from exercises, health tips, recipes and inspiration. The book is broken down by trimester, postpartum and post baby phase 1 and phase 2 and includes concerns, exercises and helpful hints for each. I love that she included exercises for common pregnancy problems like round ligament pain, leg cramps and carpal tunnel. There is a stroller workout and a diaper bag workout including some great exercises to do with the baby. Personally, I loved the chapters on healthy eating/nutrition during pregnancy and after pregnancy which includes a great meal plan that doesn't require calorie counting. The recipes are quick & delicious including items such as an apple & date breakfast bread pudding, a very tasty and quick pesto pizza and a great black bean, sweet potato and turkey chili. The book includes stories of real women who have completed Tracey's plan. I am one of her success stories. I started her plan when my son was 9 months old so I lost the pregnancy weight prior to starting her plan but my body shape was different and it was tough fitting into my pre-pregnancy clothes. I was so out of shape and have never enjoyed exercise but her plan was very easy to follow. I quickly lost 12 pounds and toned up and all of my friends and family were so impressed! I was at the weight I was more than 10 years ago!! I am now pregnant with our second baby so I bought this book along with Tracey's Pregnancy System workout DVD (which I am really enjoying!!). It was so nice to start my pregnancy 12 pounds lighter than my previous pregnancy and I know I'll lose it all again. Thanks Tracey!!
