Real Mom Review by Tracy Roberts
When Family Review Network told me that Helene Byrne of BeFitMom.com was looking for reviewers I knew that I had to take a look. I was especially excited because they used the words “abdominal separation” & “pelvic floor”.
It was my hope that not only would I be able to review a cool book but that I would also be able to “repair” my aging body after having 4 children – two within 3 years (3 1/2 & 1) in my 40′s.
Could I really have a normal stomach again instead of looking perpetually 8 months pregnant? Well, after a few weeks I still look pregnant BUT (and it’s a big one 
) I feel better and stronger.
The exercises are easy to do and I feel more confident in how my body is starting to look. I think I’m pretty close to packing away my maternity shirts for good and if I get the nerve I’ll post “before” and “after” photos when I reach my goal of strengthening and slimming down.

From the site: Helene’s unique postnatal core system, which integrates the mind/body methods of Pilates and yoga with cutting-edge fitness techniques, can be started just days after giving birth, requires no specialized exercise equipment, and is suitable for all fitness levels.
The first workout, “Postpartum Exercises” provides safe, gentle, restorative exercises that can be started just days after giving birth that are designed to speed healing from labor and delivery, relieve discomfort, and start firming up over-stretched abdominal muscles.
The second workout, “Knitting Back Together” offers a special series of exercises that flatten, shorten and strengthen the abdominals, and develops functional core strength and stability.
The third workout, “Advanced Core Strength” offers a more challenging total-body core program for women who want to build athletic strength.
Thank you to Family Review Network and Helene Byrne at BeFitMom.com for this great opportunity.
