DVD : The Perfect Pregnancy Workout vol. 1 |
- Great workout I absolutely loved this DVD. I was in pretty good shape pre-pregnancy and in general have been doing the intermediate level of her exercises from month 3 until almost the very end. I often felt the fatigue in my thighs and gluts the next day so they really work the muscles. I also walked for up to an hour every other day. I'm sure a lot of factors contributed but I think at least in part due my being in good shape I got through labor quickly and have returned to good form quickly.

- Perfect workout!!This really is the perfect pregnancy workout for the experienced exerciser. Just challenging enough so you don't get bored. Works every part of your body!! Highly recommend.

- Don't try to keep up!I love the DVD. It's just what I was looking for... it has a great warm up section with wonderful and very helpful stretches that really ease pregnancy aches!!! If you only did the warm up section, I promise you, you will be happy. The workout itself is tough! DO NOT TRY TO complete the workout on your first try b/c, like I said, it's tough. Do as much as u can and stop when u need to... In time, i'm sure you (and I) will be able to complete the workout, no problem.
the only issue with the DVD is the lack of verbal instruction during the workout. If you aren't constantly watching the monitor, you will fall behind - at least, I did. But the instructor seems very sweet and IN GREAT SHAPE, which works as motivation to keep up.

- A great pregnancy workoutI ordered this a few weeks ago and only got around to trying it today, but wish I had started it months ago. I loved the instructor, she's very encouraging without being too perky and smiley. She tells you a few seconds ahead what the next exercise will be, so even on my first try I caught on quickly and didn't have to spend all my time watching the screen. I would say I'm in average shape, although I've been a real couch potato for the last few months, and this was challenging without being overwhelming.
I also like that she includes kegels, squats and some light ab work - it makes me feel like I'm preparing for labor as opposed to just a regular strengthening workout. I'm six months pregnant right now so hopefully a few more months of this will have me ready to go!
Even though I worked up a sweat, I felt really good and not at all tired when I was done. The baby seemed to like it too, he slept through even the most strenuous parts but work up during the cooldown and has been kicking ever since.

- Should be called the 1990's low impact pregnancy workout This video is not worth $1. I'm extremely surprised that it received so many positive amazon reviews. The production is low-budge, the voice over is annoying and it's not a challenging workout. After 5 minutes of stretching, the workout begins with astep-aerobics a portion. Like most people I konw, I have not done step aerobics since the 90's and don't care to start up with it again. Following the step aerobics are various exercises using chairs, weights, floor, etc. follow in a disorganized fashion. I have the Pilates during Pregnancy video by Niece Pecenka which works the same muscles, but is of better quality and offers a much better workout in my opinion.
