The Fit to Deliver Course Manual
The Fit to Deliver Team has developed a comprehensive manual that can be used to guide exercise prescription throughout the childbearing years. The manual was developed by a Team of Health Care Professionals consisting of Dr. Karen Nordahl (MD), Carl Petersen (Physical Therapist/Fitness Coach) and Renee Minges Jeffreys (Exercise Physiologist) with additional input from Physical Therapists, Personal Trainers and a Nurse/Birth Educator.
