For soon-to-be mothers, staying fit has never been easier. A program developed by a working mom in New York City, Beverley Caen — Sane Fitness Preggers: Maternity Workouts That Won’t Drive You Crazy ($24.95) — is a regimen outlined in an illustrated box of cards. The color-coordinated deck contains all the information needed to stay in healthy shape even as the body changes. Acting as her own personal trainer, a mother can follow the six-week program, which includes user-friendly instructions with basic exercises such as squats, lifts, and a warm-up of various stretching techniques. Other exercises are suggested, and require gear such as stability balls, dumbbells, and free weights. Each Sane Fitness card has a picture, making it hard to misunderstand the steps.
