just random circuits, upper, lower and full body workouts, mentions rest when you need it but doesn't program them together at all. No progression, no objectives, no mention of diet, target weight gain. Press ups are just assumed to be from knees. For a book with Burpees in the title they only appear once, as an exercise that should be phased out in pregnancy.

CAN FINALLY ADD MY PREGNANCY BOOKS TO GOODREADS YAYAYAYAY

I thought this book was going to be more informative on working out in pregnancy and less workout plan so 3 stars only because it wasn’t what I needed / was looking for but would be helpful for people who don’t usually exercise and are looking to start in pregnancy!

I used this book with both my pregnancies and found it helpful and practical to tailoring my workouts to each stage of my pregnancy.
