What a ridiculous
name!
That's what I thought when I first
saw this amazing Fitness Program by Holly Rigsby. Good grief!
"Couldn't she choose a better name than that, I mean who's
going to take this seriously?" I asked myself.
So, because the name offended me I
passed over researching this program for quite a while as I delved
into other fitness programs that sounded more serious.
I can't tell you exactly what it was
that first made me take a peek but eventually I did... And Wow! It
made sense! Finally, here was a fitness program for women that
addressed real everyday issues and showed how to solve
them simply and effectively. I had found a goldmine!

What Is It?
Fit Yummy Mummy is a fitness lifestyle program for busy moms!
It's a comprehensive guide to what’s arguably the most widespread,
challenging and frustrating issue faced by moms today: how to get
their pre-baby body back. For almost all mothers the changes their
bodies incur during pregnancy coupled with the countless
responsibilities that motherhood bring spell trouble for regaining
their pre-pregnancy figure.
There is no shortage of fitness, diet
and fat loss products on the market today. You can find a veritable
library of conflicting arguments almost anywhere you choose to seek
information on the subject of fitness for women, whether it’s
online, at your local library, through contact with personal
trainers, or through the (less reputable but nevertheless very
common) ranks of wannabe experts: aka, those frustrating people with
no qualifications and no practical experience but are self professed
experts because they read the last issue of Shape Magazine.
What Sets This Product Apart?
After months of frustration spent trawling through the mass of
conflicting information on fitness and fat loss, it was with a
mixture of joy and near-tearful relief that I stumbled across “Fit
Yummy Mummy”, by Holly Rigsby. This product
is specifically for moms wanting to get fit. Literally all aspects
of losing fat and getting fit are covered – and the best part is
that it is written specifically for busy moms. The material is
presented in a manner both chatty and educational – it’s kind of
like having a friendly conversation with a close friend that happens
to be a fitness expert (with the added benefit of being able to
refresh your understanding of the matter at any given time, simply
by scrolling back to the relevant section!)
The tone of the book presents a
welcome contrast to the other fitness products so freely available
elsewhere on the Net: it’s friendly, understanding of the unique
situations moms face, informative, and above all, commonsensical. No
unrealistic recommendations, no 2 hour workouts, or zero-carb diets
here: it doesn’t take long to see that this lady knows what she’s
talking about when it comes to mom’s lifestyles (and did I mention
she’s a mom too?)
What’s Actually Included?
There’s a quick section on getting
started and goal setting along with some morale-boosting advice on
how to stay on track throughout the program, and then it’s
straight into an action plan to get you started on the path to
burning baby fat and getting your body back.
The Supportive Nutrition Plan is next
– this is particularly helpful! Every conceivable nutrition issue
is covered, from how often you should eat to what you should keep in
your pantry. And on top of that, it includes a ‘Create a Menu
Planner’ to guide you in creating every meal to support your
success.
Next, the Fit Yummy Mummy Fat Loss
Workouts are covered, but not without easy to follow explanations of
the why’s and the how’s for every part of the workout program.
The workout plan even offers four different formats that you can
plug into your lifestyle, something not found in any of the cookie
cutter fat loss programs on the market. My favorite part of the
workout section is that regardless of your exercise (or lack of
exercise) background, there is a workout designed specifically for
you. And no matter what you fitness level is, none of the workout
programs require more than 90 minutes a week.
Finally, there’s a section called
the Busy Mom’s Fat Loss Companion crammed with easy to use tools
and resources like a goal setting sheet, fitness journal, exercise
descriptions and even a ready made grocery list. The author has
figured out every excuse and obstacle busy moms have and addressed
them all.
Just Because It’s Detailed Doesn’t
Mean It’s Confusing
Sound overwhelming? It’s actually
very user-friendly. Not only is this e-book packed with sound
practical advice and the whole thing is laid out in a very logical
and easy-to-understand format, but it comes with a Quick Start Guide
to make sure you start acting (and seeing results) fast. The tone of
Fit Yummy Mummy light and non-threatening (no scientific terminology
here!) and it proceeds in a logical manner from step to step, with
plenty of photos and descriptions to ensure that you are doing
everything right.
Troubleshooting
In my opinion, one of the best parts:
a follow up e-mail coaching series from the author that keeps you on
track, gives you daily fitness tips and even healthy recipes. While
most moms have the best of intentions, staying on track is tough.
This follow up E-mail Coaching Series is the perfect solution.
The Verdict
Regaining their pre-pregnancy body is
a daunting task for most moms, but the author’s personal
experience and hands on work with over 250 moms is pretty
reassuring; and she certainly knows how to break it down for even
the most exercise illiterate person. In addition to the main features
detailed above, there are plenty of valuable extras to make
getting your pre-baby body back as quickly and as easily as
possible. Extras include: Checklists, Do’s
and Don’ts, Printable Workout Sheets, even ready to follow Meal
Plans!
All in all, two thumbs up from me:
when the information on hand is as detailed, easy to absorb, and above all –
as reliable as Fit
Yummy Mummy, you really can’t go wrong. |
