Power Pilates PostPregnancy Workout

Amazon.com Get back in shape after pregnancy with a gentle yet effective and challenging, specially designed Pilates workout. Instructor and new mom Susan Moran-Perich has adapted classic Pilates mat exercises for the special needs of post-partum exercisers. She explains each exercise clearly as her demonstrators show both the ideal form and modifications. Your session can last from 15 to 47 minutes, depending on the components you choose. Pilates is especially effective for new mothers because it strengthens the core abdominal and back muscles, helping you regain strength, control, shape, and comfort. Bonus features: Exercises using the ring ("magic circle") and a 15-minute back safety program. A brief "private instruction" section gives additional technique instructions but is limited to voiceover still photos, not moving demonstrations. --Joan Price
