My brother\'s wife wants to start working out, she\'s pregnant...
1) She's about 4 months in, she doesn't do any ab work (Doctor's orders), other than that, are all exercises safe?
2) How does the number of exercises and set/rep scheme differ from men's training, if at all? Her goal, like most women, is just to have that toned look, like a bit of curves with the triceps and so on.

Re: My brother\'s wife wants to start working out, she\'s pregnant...
As long as her doctor has said that she doesn't have any contraindications to exercise, she can continue, but should be encouraged to work at a comfortable level of exertion. Here is a great journal article that discusses the risks and benefits associated with exercise during pregnancy. It also gives programatic recommendations for women of varying fitness levels:
