Mom Looks Great: The Fitness Program for Moms

For many moms, the post-partum experience extends well beyond the infant and toddler years. It is an emotionally challenging time when a woman may have overwhelming feelings of doubt, worry and even depression. During this time, a mother is at her most vulnerable, especially in regard to her body image. With these doubts, self-confidence can greatly suffer and the resulting mindset can affect many areas in her life. Fortunately for mothers everywhere, author Sherri Dodd has written a concise, witty, and simple-to-follow book with guidelines for gaining the much-needed energy for raising a child which includes a fitness program for reconditioning your body after pregnancy. Organized into three parts-Motivation, Nutrition, and Exercise-forming a solid program, Mom Looks Great is as enjoyable to read as its advice is to follow, and with helpful appendices covering everything from caloric expenditures from various activities to urinary incontinence, it is much more than just a diet and exercise book. It is the only book that moms will need to shake the blues and bring out their very best! First time moms and experienced mothers alike will also love the collection of useful tips, up-to-date facts, and timeless tricks that will keep their mind and body focused on achieving results, while still being able to balance other commitments during the most comprehensive time of their lives. 'In her book, Mom Looks Great, Sherri Dodd uses her knowledge of exercise and nutrition, combined with her personal experience as a mother, to guide women struggling with the persistent physical changes in their bodies after delivering a baby.' -Martin S. Silverman, M.D., FA.C.O.G. '...a unique and excellent book...' - Joanie Greggains, Fitness Expert and co-author of The Fat Flush Fitness Plan

5Mom Looks Great: The Fitness Program for Moms  Feb 16, 2007
By J. Olivarria
This book is not just for new moms. I am a mother of a 12 year old and a 10 year old and found myself out of shape and in a rutt. From the very first chapter I felt motivated. I recommend this book for all Moms!

5Excellent book  Nov 30, 2006
By Jeanette K. Stoia
I loved this book. The author has effectively dividied this book into three sections. I thought it was brilliant of her to start with the motivation section. When I first purchased the book, I really wanted to lose weight. While that's still a goal for me, I understand that having the energy to keep up with my two toddlers is more important. Starting a fitness program for me is easy. Sticking with it and having it become a lifestyle change is what can be challenging. The author offers quite a few suggestions on how to keep motivated throughout this healthy journey. I chose the ones that fit my personality. The nutrition part offered a history of the author's own lifestyle change and encouraged healthy eating by using the Harvard School of PUblic Health's Healthy Eating Pyramid. I like the emphasis on low fat protein items such as fish and poultry. The exercise part is just as well written as the other two parts. The author outlines all three phases of the Mom Looks Great program and have been able to determine where to start. I highly recommend this book to any woman who wants to lose weight after giving birth.
