What to expect

Discover the natural strength of the female body, awaken your inner power and enjoy a happy, healthy, confident pre and postnatal experience with this inspiring, stereotype-shattering book.

In The StrongLikeMum Method, pre and postnatal fitness expert and mum of four Shakira Akabusi accompanies you on your pregnancy journey and throughout the first year of motherhood to help you tap into the full power of your body and mind with accessible exercise and wellness advice.

The benefits of leading an active lifestyle are so much greater than the aesthetic goals we're bombarded with almost everywhere we turn. This book will unlock secrets that have been hidden in history and show how the female body has adapted and changed to become the powerful force it is today. As well as easy-to-follow exercises, Shakira's empowering StrongLikeMum Method provides advice on nutrition, the power of sleep, language and ways to adopt a positive mindset.

Whether you are a first-time mum or a mother to two or more and whether you are hoping to enjoy an active pregnancy or wish to recover effectively postpartum, this book has been written to give you a full understanding of what your body and mind are capable of during and after pregnancy. It will give you the tools to understand your own body and instill the confidence to sustain a fit, healthy and happy lifestyle inside and out.

Critics Review

I wish this book was out when I was pregnant for the first time, especially for all the tips about dealing with pre-natal morning sickness and post-natal exhaustion. Shakira's cheerleading voice would have helped me understand why my body - and mind - were struggling with some of the changes motherhood brings, and given me the power and purpose to be my strongest and healthiest for my baby and, most importantly, me!
