Description

The definitive guide to prenatal and postpartum fitness! Olympian expertise meets pelvic health expertise to empower women of all fitness levels to embrace their strongest, healthiest pregnancy and recovery. The definitive guide to prenatal and postpartum fitness! Olympian expertise meets pelvic health expertise to empower women of all fitness levels to embrace their strongest, healthiest pregnancy and recovery. Doctors frequently warn women to slow down and rest during pregnancy. But years of scientific research-and the personal experiences of Olympic runner Shannon Rowbury and pelvic health expert Jessica Dorrington- show that pregnant women's bodies are capable of so much more. Strong as a Mother provides evidence-based, empowering information that challenges outdated notions of pregnancy as a time of limitation. Anyone who has been pregnant has experienced the anxiety of not knowing for sure whether their favorite exercise activity is safe. Now, by combining Olympic-level athletic experience with specialized medical knowledge, this book offers a unique, authoritative perspective that will revolutionize how women approach fitness during pregnancy and postpartum.
