Thriving through Pregnancy with Fitness and Black Mama Magic 2024
Pregnancy fitness advice is confusing, even for OB-Gyn, athlete, and first-time mom, Dr. Aldene Zeno. Or at least it was, before she wrote this book. One doctor told her to stop doing functional fitness altogether; pregnancy books seemed more restrictive than supportive; and in the gym, coaches also seemed to be searching for reliable advice. Furthermore, the existing books primarily focused on low-impact exercises, and she sought expert guidance that was relatable and relevant as a woman of color. Dr. Zeno has now crafted the ultimate fitness guide for before, during, and after pregnancy, using her experience competing in fitness at four weeks pregnant, through her first triathlon 2 years postpartum:
Tips on starting fitness early to help get pregnant at your healthiest
Guidance for each stage of pregnancy, detailing the ways that the body changes and our bodies can adapt
Specific workouts and nutritious meals recommended for various time points in pregnancy
Exercises for the first six weeks postpartum, and a detailed guide for returning to running after baby
Forward by Dr. Chasity Jennings, OB/Gyn, on how a fitness lifestyle may help address Black maternal health disparities
Contributions from celebrity fitness trainer (including past clients H.E.R, Cardi B), Shevanne Robinson.
Get inspired to “get snatched and bounce forward,” while finding your own love for fitness and Black mama magic!
