Beverley Caen, the creator of the popular SANE FITNESS program--hailed by Prevention
Magazine and by the New York Times as the "preferred" fitness deck--is a working mother of three who, while running a busy executive recruiting firm,
still found time for fitness during her three pregnancies. Now in SANE FITNESS PREGGERS:
Maternity Workouts That Won't Drive You Crazy (Plain White
Press, Distributed by Consortium; Publication Date: June 2008; $24.95)
Beverley shares her complete program, developed with Equinox Fitness Clubs trainer John Cruz, in an easy-to-use format that takes all the guesswork
out of staying in shape with weight-training during pregnancy.
This personal trainer in a box contains everything you need to know about staying in shape.
Color-coded and easy-to-follow, each card corresponds with how many weeks you are into the second and third trimester of your pregnancy. The deck
offers physical techniques, helpful advice and suggested home fitness equipment so you don't even have to leave your house to stay in-shape during
this important and exciting time!
Here are just a few highlights of what this unique fitness program has to offer:
Full-term Exercise Program:
As your body goes through significant changes, especially in the second and third trimesters of your pregnancy, you need to alter
your strength workouts to stay healthy and safe. This complete exercise program is designed especially to help active women stay active and fit right
up to delivery by taking the guesswork out of working out while you are pregnant.
Necessary Equipment: You
don't even need to travel to that crowded and noisy local gym! With the purchase of a few simple items, such as an inflatable exercise ball, a set of
ankle weights and an exercise mat, you can perform your exercises in the safety and comfort of your own home.
Obstetrician-Approved Tips:
Your changing body commands new rules and limitations that your former fitness routine did not. Maybe you used to reward yourself
with a trip to the steam room or a dip in the hot tub after an intense workout; however, pregnant women should avoid these activities because they
may cause dehydration or your body to overheat. Sane Fitness provides essential advice to keep you and your baby in healthy condition.
Techniques Designed Just for Moms-to-Be:
Sane Fitness strategies were created with an understanding and respect specifically for pregnant women. The cards take into
consideration any physical limitations that may arise and offer alternative positions. If you find a certain stretch position uncomfortable on your
knees, for instance, try it standing up or lying on your side for the same outcome. Experiment and find what works best for you!
Pictures to Follow: Each card
has pictures of the actual exercises for you to emulate, making it even easier to follow the bulleted directions.
Pregnancy is not a time to forget your former healthy diet and exercise routines, but
rather a time to expand and tailor them to meet your new needs. Sane Fitness provides the means and information to keep your body in excellent
condition, making for a better pregnancy and an easier time to get back into shape after birth. Exercise is a proven method to keep your energy level
high and your stress level low-- a way to keep your body and soul in an ideal condition for your baby. Caen's easy program is the perfect companion,
keeping mothers-to-be energized, even without the caffeine!
