Customer Reviews

Not exactly what I was looking for
I was a bit disappointed with this book. The title "Easy Exercises for Pregnancy" lead me to believe that this book would give me exercises to maintain my fitness level during my pregnancy. It seemed to concentrate far more on relaxation & destressing techniques than actual exercises.
I really admire the team at the Active Birth Centre, but this was obviously not the book I was looking for.
