My husband and I started trying to conceive, and as someone who is very active I was looking for books on staying active during pregnancy. There is nothing out there!!!! This is one of the only books I found, and it is excellent. Very well researched, and really liked the fact an OB-GYN both contributed and wrote sections of the book. For those of you who are active, and trying to determine if this book is for you, my activity level consists of: running, sprinting, marathon training (not for over a year), high intensity interval training and weight lifting including kettle bells. The average person who exercises may find it useful, as long as you do some form of weight training and have some fitness knowledge. If you exercise regularly and would like to continue during your pregnancy, this book is perfect. I have read it multiple times and even though we are not pregnant yet, still use the circuits in the book.

I was a recreational athlete (5-6 intense workouts of boxing, running/marathon training a week) before getting pregnant and had high hopes for this book. I felt there were a few good tips in here but it seemed much more aimed toward triathletes (the writers are triathletes) and I didn't relate to a lot of it for that reason, though I liked the suggested weight exercises. Also, pregnancy is such a strange and personal time, and it's tough to predict how your body will react and what will be possible or comfortable for you - and I'm not sure any book can fully address that!
