After having my second child, I was really looking for a workout that would help me get my body back in shape, without doing more damage (as I had heard crunches can do).  I read about the BeFit Mom fitness program, so I went online and checked out the site (http://www.befitmom.com/).  It is so informative in explaining how pregnancy really affects a mother’s body.  Honestly, I wish that I had heard about this site during pregnancy, because there are so many resources explaining what type of exercises are safe in pregnancy.  For my post-partum workouts, I decided to purchase the Bounce Back Fast DVD and book, which comes complete with an exercise band. 

The DVD and book arrived quickly, and I felt that the book was very informative.  The DVD is wonderful.  Helene is very engaging during the workouts (not annoying at all, as I sometimes find with exercise videos), and explains everything, including how a woman’s stomach has changing during pregnancy.  These exercises are perfect for strengthening a woman’s core after pregnancy, and won’t cause any additional damage. 

I would encourage all pregnant moms to check out http://www.befitmom.com/ either during their pregnancies, or when they are beginning their post-partum exercise program.
