Healthy, Fit, Happy Mom DVD Series

I hate to admit it, but my body didn't bounce right back after having kids. Although I do have a friend who has a baby and shows absolutely no evidence of having ever been pregnant...Oh, and she is a size 0. And gorgeous. Yeah, I don't think she's human, either! Anyway, I was not as lucky as my friend. I have had 3 c-sections, 2 of which were only 12 months apart. This has definitely have made it a challenge to get rid of that nasty belly pooch that goes hand and hand with childbearing and pregnancy. 

So when I got the opportunity to review the Healthy, Fit, Happy Mom DVD series by Dr. Zelana Montminy, I jumped at the chance. After all, any workout routines that are specifically designed for those of us who have had children are bound to be worth trying. I get so tired of seeing nothing but 18 year old, boppy fitness models who have never experienced the changes that occur during (and after) pregnancy. Sure, they may offer a great workout, but to a 32 year old mom of 3, they're just not relatable. I have real body issues that only another Mom could truly understand! 

The Healthy, Fit, Happy Mom series is comprised of 3 DVD's, each of which addresses a particular "phase" of motherhood and fitness. 

Here is more info about each volume.

Once your baby is 6 weeks old and with your doctors permission, it's time to bring exercise back into your life to get your body back in share once again. "Healthy, Fit, Happy Mom: Volume 2" guides you there in a safe manageable way.

Her focus in positive health, an emerging field that uses positive psychology to promote a lifestyle of nutrition and fitness, has been shared with millions of viewers on the PopSugar Network. Dr. Z has shared the stage with leading health and fitness experts including Dr. Oz, Jane Fonda, Dr. Drew Weil, and Bob Harper and now with "Healthy, Fit, Happy Mom," she will share the stage with you!

Overall, I am loving this series. Not only are the routines easy to follow, and I am definitely not a fitness buff, they are also led in a very positive way. The series addresses overall well-being, not just physical fitness. It also offers some great tips on healthy eating and nutrition! 

I would definitely recommend this series to any new or expectant moms who would love to get fit and healthy!
