Whether you are a stay-at-home mum of one baby with a partner who comes home on time every day or a single working mum of four, mothering is the busiest job you’ll ever have. It’s 24/7 and relentless. And where exactly in all this do you find the time to exercise, get rid of that baby belly, eat well and look after yourself? Health and fitness expert Fiona Thomas Hargraves knows what it’s like, and knows that women this busy need a plan. And she’s got one. Fit and Fabulous is for any woman who is thinking about getting pregnant, already pregnant, just had a baby or has ever had a baby. It’s written for real people who live in the real world, not in the world of celebrities or empty promises. It offers genuine solutions for women who are unlikely to count crunches let alone calories. Taking care of your physical, emotional and practical needs, this book shows you how to keep yourself fit and healthy while holding down the most challenging job in the world. Fiona is an exercise scientist and nutritionist but, most importantly, she has ‘been there, done that’, gaining weight with each of her two pregnancies and losing it again in an easy-to-follow sensible and safe manner. |
