BOOK ENDORSEMENTS Sally Lee (Editor in Chief, Fitness): "Julie Tupler’s book, Maternal Fitness (Simon & Schuster,1996) is my bible!" Dr. Raul Artal (A fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the American College of Sports Medicine who helped develop the ACOG Exercise Guidelines, and the author of Pregnancy and Exercise): "An innovative and dynamic program that could be enjoyed by both pregnant and non-pregnant women alike." Penny Simkin, P.T. (Head of DONA and the author of The Birth Partner): "With her down-to-earth and enthusiastic style, Julie Tupler provides an easy, safe, and effective fitness program for pregnant women. This book will make you want to join Julie Tupler’s class-in-a-book and prepare your body for one of life’s greatest and most rewarding challenges--the birth of your child." Adrienne B. Lieberman (Childbirth Educator and author of Easing Labor Pain): "The style is breezy, friendly, and casual. But the solid content has been thoroughly researched and consumer tested. Reading Julie Tupler’s book is like having your own private fitness trainer just when you most need one." Harper's Bazaar, April, 1996: " Now that Tupler’s new book, Maternal Fitness, is hot off the press, pregnant women nationwide, especially those who shy away from one-on-one drill-sergeant tactics, can benefit from her plan. This clearly illustrated tome will guide you from the day your pregnancy test reads positive to that final push in the delivery room." Midwifery Today, Summer, 1996: "This book takes us past the 'just keep fit' attitude and really shows women how to stretch, strengthen, and relax the muscles they will use most in labor, as well as instructs them in what changes occur in the pregnant body and how to work with these changes. Maternal Fitness is a wonderful combination of exercise, education, and relaxation to help create a more enjoyable pregnancy and a quicker recovery." |
