My favorite prenatal workout DVD - hands down by kellerberts (NY, NY) 5 Stars
November 06, 2009
I have purchased 5 different prenatal workout DVDs (yoga, pilates, light weights/stretching) and this is BY FAR the best of the bunch. I do it as many mornings a week as I can. My legs and arms are very toned as a result, which feels great as my belly gets bigger! The moves are very straightforward, so I think this is appropriate for beginners as well as gals who already have a fitness routine. This DVD is great!

Great pregnancy workout!! by Amy N. Smith 4 Stars

I have to admit the first few times I did this workout dvd I was a little sore. I worked out before I became pregnant but just your basic cardio stuff so this video was a bit of a challenge at first. Once I stuck with it I absolutely loved it!! It made me feel great throughout my pregnancy! It did get a little challenging towards the last month or so of my pregnancy but definitely would recommend.

Great workout for the preggies! by J. Chesla (GR, Michigan) 4 Stars

I really enjoy this video...the first time I did it though, I was SO SORE! But by the second and third time, my muscles had warmed up and it just felt good. The "keep up" exercise is particularly fun and challenging (at the very end). I would recommend watching the instructional portion the first time, it will help you to know what you are supposed to do when. Also, I actually do not own a regular chair in my house (we have benches at the dining room table) so I have to make do with a coffee table and bar stool, but you should have one handy. Maybe by month 9 I will be to the "advanced" level...or not!

Not Just Yet... by Avrial Turner 5 Stars

I ordered this video and I've been so excited to try it out, I'm an active woman, but my first trimester of pregnancy has had me so sick I've not just yet had a chance to workout to this video! I am very excited to in the next few weeks once I'm past this first trimester. I'll try to update once I've had a chance to workout with this!

love this video by Colleen S. Mckillop (Holtsville, NY) 4 Stars

I am a runner and I regularly go to the gym. I really enjoy the cardio and sculpting classes, but after about 20 weeks (pregnant), I felt I should stop running and the cardio classes were too hard. I still went to the sculpting class, but I felt like I was wasting my $50 monthly membership for one class per week. So I got this video and I love it. It's like attending a class at the gym w/o worrying about always having to modify everything. It's hard enough that I feel like I am getting a great workout, but I know all the exercises are safe. I will be excited to get back to running and the gym after my baby is born (late Jan.) but for now I am so happy I found this video to help me stay strong.
