Pregnancy, Birth, And Recovery Workout

VHS, 90 minutes, Warner Home Video, Release Date: 03/15/1992

Designed to help you stay fit during pregnancy, prepare you for labor, and help you regain your figure after delivery. 45-minute pregnancy and recovery workout 20-minute additional recovery section 20-minute skills for birth, baby massage and infant care program For pregnancy: If you are fit, you can add the recovery section to your pregnancy exercise routine until the fifth month of pregnancy. This will provide you with extra leg work as well as exercise to strengthen your abdomen. Past the 20th week, abdominal exercises as well as buttock tucks usually become uncomfortable and can compromise you and your baby's circulation. You can, however, continue the leg work from the recovery workout if you feel up to it. For Recovery: You will probably be ready to resume exercising two to three weeks after a vaginal birth and three to five weeks after a birth by cesarean section. Work your abdomen gently at first, and slowly work up to all the reps. Please discuss the use of this tape with your pregnancy healthcare provider. "'Jane Fonda's Pregnancy, Birth And Recovery Workout' provides an ideal program for both women who wish to continue to exercise during pregnancy as well as women who wish to begin a safe and sound program during pregnancy" Jane L.
