It is not a topic which generally befits a male personal trainer especially from a bodybuilding background. But over the past 4 years or so I have noticed distinct flaws in the information being given out to mothers when returning to work or more rather the lack of information being given. This book will provide the information needed in an easy-to-use format with pictures for demonstration. All of the exercises and techniques detailed within this book have been tried and tested and are currently being used by clinicians and physical trainers as pre- and post-natal treatment for women. I have used the exact same techniques for my own wife after she gave birth to our child and she found them extremely beneficial as have several personal training clients. It is a guide you can try at home or at work. Within this guide there are exercises that are pitched at the correct level with appropriate progressions and regressions.RATED 5 STARS'A very informative and easy to understand book.A lot of knowledge and a easy guide, well written book.
