We reviewed the BeFit-Mom DVD a few months back, and now, Perinatal Exercise Specialist Helene Byrne has just released the 2nd printing of her book “Exercise After Pregnancy – How to Look and Feel Your Best“. 
If you recently had a baby, chances are you’ve realized that your body doesn’t look exactly the same as it did pre-pregnancy. Helene’s book and DVD offer safe, effective exercises that you can do post-partum and are targeted to the problem areas that new moms have.
I love Helene’s approach to exercise – she spends a lot of time explaining how your body changes during pregnancy, discusses the separation of stomach muscles (diastasis), and explains when it is safe to do each exercise. The book is also set up in sequential order with some more advanced exercises towards the back. The pictures are very helpful in demonstrating the exercises, and use real post partum moms!
Another thing I love about this book is the last chapters, which explain how to carry your body in everyday activities such as carrying your car seat carrier and holding your baby, in a manner that won’t hurt your body.
