Great if you want to increase your activity levels
Review date: 2008-08-18 Rating: 10 out of 10
I bought this a few weeks ago - along with a pregnancy yoga dvd. Really pleased with it. I'm fairly active normally - in that I walk alot, climb stairs whenever possible, etc - but I've not been doing any "exercise classes" since before I became pregnant. Really wanted to increase my activity levels in my own time (but not overdo it). This is great for that. It's low impact but it gets the blood flowing.
If you have had a higher activity level than me in early pregnancy, then this may not be high enough activity level for you. A previous review suggested not.
If I had any complaints, it would be that there is not quite enough stretching at the end. I have lower back and hip issues so have had to supplement it with yoga / additional stretches of my own.

Although I am into yoga for many years this DVD raises your heartbeats for sure. It is mostly like an aerobics class than a usual yoga-related prenatal program with calm and soothing exercises. It is quite vigorous and I wouldn't suggest it to women who had some troubles in the first trimester.
Not sure I can do this every day...

Have just done this workout for the first time at 6 months pregnant and feel really good afterwards. Like I've had a proper workout - pregnant or not - while feeling safe and controlled throughout. As the other reviewers have said, this DVD is refreshingly unpretentious and didn't annoy me at all (unusual in a fitness DVD!). Having said that, not sure I'd be up to doing this workout every day - there are some days where just getting up to fetch more chocolate ice cream is too much of an effort! But on good days, I think I'll enjoy this 40 minute workout. Not sure about the circuit training with a partner though - that just doesn't sound like me and my man...
Fantastic!

A great workout! You can really feel the exercises working. Although I keep trying to do the 'Partner Workout' but her husband is too yummy - so i just watch him!!!

I have just done this workout for the 2nd time and I was so impressed that I had to write a review. I'm now 16 weeks pregnant and, despite being quite fit before, I didn't do any real exercise earlier in my pregnancy because I was so exhausted. I was pleasantly surprised by how challenging this is - I don't think it will take long before I feel much fitter and more toned. The intro music is pretty cheesey but the workout itself is very well done and easy to follow. I got the DVD on the basis of the other DVDs and I'm really pleased I did. Highly recommended.
