Summary
Pilates and Pregnancy is a unique workbook that combines modified Pilates exercises for each trimester of pregnancy and the post-partum months with a pregnancy journal. It is an interactive book that allows a woman to take notes on each exercise and on her pregnancy. The book is divided into the 3 trimesters plus a postpartum section. Each exercise contains detailed instructions and photos plus "fun facts", "prenatal or post-natal benefits", questions for her to answer regarding the exercise and even a place for her notes. Each section contains a journal page for her "thoughts and feelings" and ends with questions about that stage of her pregnancy. This book doesn't leave anything out! There is even a place for her to write a letter to her unborn baby and provides a space for her to put a picture of herself so she can remember how amazing she looked during her pregnancy. Sarah Picot has already established herslf as an expert on the topic of Pilates and pregnancy with her top rated Prenatal and Post-natal Pilates DVDs. She was the first to take Pilates and modify the exercises for each trimester of pregnancy. Now she puts those successful exercises into a book format.
