great purchase!November 20, 2009 Thoughtful(Texas) This video is perfect for working pregnant moms! At only 10 minutes per segment it can easily be made a part of almost any day.
The segments-my favorite was the total body segment. It really tones your muscles and is challenging without being too hard and it doesn't require any equipment except dumbbells. It also doesn't require you to lay on your back which has worried some reviewers although I agree with another one that none of the segments require laying on the back as much as ultrasounds do. My next favorite segment is the standing pilates. It also just requires weights and requires no laying on your back. The flexibility segment is nice and soothing. The buns and thighs segment seems to give your lower body a good workout without hurting and has really seemed to aid in helping my hip pain that I've had prior to now starting my third trimester. The Core Pilates segment is fine too. It requires pillows and is probably the one I do least often only because I like the other ones so much, especially the Total Body segment. I'd recommend this tape for that one alone.
Also, the instructor is very knowledgeable without being annoying and she's obviously very pregnant.
Just what I needed!October 31, 2009 P. Dagupion(Austin, TX) I am 21 weeks into my third pregnancy. I am overweight to begin with and wanted to get into a good routine. I was afraid that I would find something that was too much of a challenge (I can't dance at all) but this is exactly what I was looking for. The hostess is easy to understand and not at all annoying. The music is in the background and not in your face. The moves are simple and effective and I can already feel my core strengthening after only a week of doing the DVD daily.
I haven't worked up to all five at once, but I have rotated them and done either one or three at a time. The 10 minutes FLIES by and I feel so good afterward. I feel it's helping my posture and my back.
The stretching workout is PERFECT after taking my two kids on a walk. And they don't find the workout annoying either. My 3 year old sits next to me and does it too.
I highly recommend this DVD for someone who's starting out their exercise routine!
LOVE it!October 28, 2009 Rosemary28 I've always had trouble sticking to an excersize routine, but this DVD makes it so easy. You can do one workout, all five or anything in between depending on how you feel that day. The workouts are challenging but not so exhausting that you dread doing it. The music is nice, and the instuctor is very pleasant. The best part is I know it's safe for baby. Oh- and it comes with a bonus belly flattening workout for after you give birth. Nice touch.
This was a great effective videoOctober 14, 2009 T. Cooper(Maryland) Loved the video and how the excercises are broken down into 10 minute intervals and you can mix and match your workout.
Just what I neededOctober 5, 2009 T. Steeg(New Zealand) I give this DVD a top rating. I was looking for something to help me stay strong and toned during this pregnancy and this delivers very pleasantly. The ten minute segments make it easy to fit a workout into your day (even with a toddler to look after). And the DVD allows you to put workouts together in any sequence you like to build a workout up to 50min long. The instructor moves through the sequences fairly briskly which is a challenge at first but once you've been through each workout a few times you get the hang of them. She's also in the last stages of her pregnancy which is confidence inspiring.
Following this workout DVD has helped to give me a sense of control of the changes in my body and a sense of achievement at the end of each segment. Enjoy!
