1 Star poorly instructed, mediocre workout
i am a reasonably fit and healthy young woman in my early 20’s, and was a regular at my local gym and cycling class for several months before i got pregnant. after i got pregnant and had to take a break from my routine because of horrible all-day-sickness and exhaustion i was looking for something gentle, but still somewhat challenging, to ease me back into a more regular routine again. i picked up this dvd because i thought prenatal yoga would be fun and relaxing. i have never really done yoga before and thought it would be a nice change of pace to learn something new. i am VERY DISAPPOINTED in this dvd…

the instructor has absolutely no personality, and her tone of voice is completely flat and unmotivated. her long-winded introduction that has to be watched before the workout, EVERY TIME, is more irritating every time i hear it, and the terrible voice-over instructions are not even timed correctly. some exercises don’t even match up with her instructions! the music is slow, boring, and uninspiring. the poses are far too short, and only a few of them even make me feel like i am doing anything at all! there are too many variations of the “triangle pose”, which i am REALLY sick of now; it feels like i just keep doing the same thing over and over again the whole time!

i’m not at all experienced with yoga, but this has got to be one of the most boring, ineffective workouts i’ve ever tried, and i have done the whole routine beginning to end about six times to be sure i wasn’t doing something wrong! when it’s over i just want to fold into “child’s pose” and go to sleep! i’m looking for something more motivating and challenging! if anyone has any suggestions please let me know!

3 Stars Easy and relaxing
This yoga practice is more stretching and meditation than a true yoga workout. Overall it’s good for those two things, but if you’re looking for more power yoga or vinyasa style yoga this is not it.

4 Stars Great DVD
We liked the DVD and we really liked that it only took a few days to get to us. Great seller.Great price and this seller is recommended.

4 Stars great dvd
I borrowed this a few times early on in my second trimester and thought it was boring and too slow, so bought another faster paced pre-natal yoga workout. then when my pregnancy progressed and i started having more aches and pains, the faster dvd was too much, and i went back to shiva rea. Now its definately the right pace for me, and its a good allover workout. I would say its a bit slow for first tri and early second tri, but its great for the second half of second tri and third tri. I think its a great investment and i plan to use right up to my due date and maybe afterwards as well.

3 Stars Good stretch, not a workout
I found this DVD to provide a good stretch. It was slow and boring, though, and not at all a workout. I couldn’t even do the whole thing without a break, because I was too bored. I found Shiva Rea’s omission of the “h” in exhale annoying, as someone else here mentioned. The 3 different options for modifications was helpful, though for several of the poses, the woman in her 3rd trimester didn’t seem to be doing much at all, it was so modified. I’m in my 3rd trimester, but followed the woman in her 2nd with no problems. If you want something really mellow to stretch and relax, this is a good choice. If you really want to exercise and maintain muscle tone during your pregnancy, look elsewhere.

5 Stars Great for Mom and Baby
A brilliant way to get fit and healthy post partum and also spend quality time with your baby. The workout is challenging, safe, fun and innovative and full of excellent information. Andrea Page is the guru of pre and postnatal fitness and shows why in this DVD. A must buy for any new mom or mom to be.

5 Stars No other post-natal DVD like it!
A few weeks following the birth of my 2nd child, I was aching to get back into exercise. Since my 2 year-old never really let me have any time for myself, I was able to finish Andrea’s workout with time to spare while she napped. I love being able to exercise with my newborn. No other DVDs have offered me a complete workout like Fitmom’s! Excellent!!!

4 Stars You need a carrier!
I’m sorry, i didn’t watch the video cause I didn’t have the carrier that you need to complete the exercises. I gave it a 4 though because to me… i don’t know I just think exercising with a carrier isn’t as interactive as working out with your baby without one. I had to return this video! Nowhere else does it say you need a carrier, but you do!

4 Stars Fitmom video
I like this DVD- it’s fun to do with my 7 month old and I definitely sweat. It is a whole lot of squats and lunges, but also some abs and arms and a little stretching. I wish it had a little bit of cardio- but the description may have told me that it didn’t (I don’t remember)

5 Stars Great results, quick, rewarding!
I started this video with my 4 month old and it was great. In the 4 months after my son’s birth, I hadn’t done much exercise at all- regardless, I could complete the workout on the first try. The workout might be “nothing exciting” for people who regularly take aerobics classes, but for me it’s exciting enough and I learned some things. It involves the baby the entire video and my son loves it.

1 Star Wouldn’t recommend
I exercise on a daily basis and had been working out using the FIRM DVDs for quite some time. I purchased the set once I found out I was expecting. I really did not enjoy the format. The instructor annoyed me. I haven’t used the DVD set because of the format and instructor.

5 Stars Great DVDS
I purchased this set when I was 6 weeks along in my second pregnancy. I used them every morning thoughout my pregnancy. I liked that I wasn’t doing the same routine every day for 9 months. The change each Trimester was nice and kept me motivated. The only thing I would have liked to have been different is that it would have been nice to have had a mother-to-be in each workout following along with Lindsay.

4 Stars Good workout for women who work
I order this series of 4 videos at the very beginning of my second trimeseter and did the first trimester video for a week or two and liked it very much. It gets you moving but not so much that you are winded or exhausted after ward. I have moved onto the second trimester video and I like that as well. When I come home from work, I’m tired and the thought of excercising is the last thing on my mind, but when I remind myself that the video is only 25 minutes it gives me the extra motivation to pop it in and work out. I wind up doing the full 25 minutes of yoga afterward too and I feel more energized after doing both. It gives me a second wind. The only thing I dont like about the video is she tends to move a bit quickly for me, but I wasnt in terrific shape when I started the series. Thats the other thing I like, that I jumped into doing the videos after a VERY lazy first trimester and it wasnt difficult at all. I like Lindsay, she is cute but not overly so and she is dressed like I am at home – in comfortable workout gear – not cropped sportsbra and shorts which would just remind me that I am not going to have a flat tummy for some time! The images of the pregnant women doing the workout are a bit tiny for me and I’d like to see her doing the workout side by

5 Stars Great overall pregnancy workout!
I ordered these DVDs near the end of my 1st trimester. I am a long time gym junkie, but I wanted a workout that would keep me in shape throughout my pregnancy without being too strenuous. So many of the DVDs I saw were yoga only, and I knew I wanted some aerobics and weight lifting, too. These DVDs give you all of it! Plus, there is great variety of workouts to keep you motivated. 2 aerobic/weight lifting workouts & 1 yoga workout per DVD. Also, you get a DVD for after baby. Lindsay is not always in perfect form and the set/recording is not the best I’ve seen, BUT she works every part of your body so that you know you’re getting a great workout. If you like interval training (aerobics w/weight training) or are looking for more than just yoga – this is the workout for you!

5 Stars Great variety
I loved this set of workout DVDs. There is a lot of variety, and the exercises are appropriate for all stages of your pregnancy and for the post partum stages of getting back into shape. The workouts are to the point, and you accomplish a lot in a minimal amount of time. The variety helps prevent boredom. Highly recommend to any busy mom or mom-to-be.

Lindsay Brins Custom Pregnancy Series 2005 is a post from: Healthy Pregnancy Secrets

Pilates During Pregnancy with Niece Pecenka – An inpiring Pilates based routine adapted for busy women in all trimesters who want to feel fit, healthy, and fabulous.

Pilates requires you to move consciously – using the breath to revitalize and energize – something you will need to depend on during and after childbirth. Every movement in Pilates emanates from the “center” – helping you focus on those muscles necessary for labor and delivery.

This routine is comprised of two distinct sections to make the most of you time.

Section I – abdominal and breath work = 15 minutes

Section II – side leg series, lower body work = 30 minutes

Sections I and II can be combined for a longer workout depending upon your time and energy level.

You will need a minimum of three blankets, folded and stacked. So Let’s Move!

User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars Disappointing and too difficult
After reading several reviews for different pregnancy exercise DVDs, I decided to purchase this one because I have enjoyed doing pilates (classes and DVD workouts) for a few years now. Even though this is geared toward pregnant women, this is the most difficult pilates workout I have ever tried! The movements in the leg workout are done WAY too fast for me to keep up! The instructor also does not talk you through the movements, which is difficult since you’re supposed to be looking down toward your belly, not at the TV screen. If you are at a beginner or even intermediate level in pilates, I would not recommend this DVD. I much prefer Tracey Mallett’s 3-in-1 Pregnancy System – appropriate for all fitness levels and stages of pregnancy.

3 Stars What a workout!
I really enjoy this workout, however, I find it very challenging. I did Windsor Pilates on dvd before I got pregnant so I am not new to Pilates. This lady is really trying to get the burn in your legs with this one! I have found that if I do the abs and legs together, I can’t do the last 5 minutes or so, once she stands from the floor legwork. I’m just too tired! I am in my first trimester so hopefully my energy will get back to normal in a couple of weeks and I’ll be able to do it all the way through. The pacing and sets are good and I like the exercises, it’s not boring at all. I would recommend this for those who enjoyed pilates before pregnancy.

5 Stars VERY PLEASED
Speedy delivery, great condition! Video is challenging but still easy to do. Your legs definitely will feel the burn!

5 Stars I’m really enjoying this workout!
As a fitness intsructor, I can be critical when it comes to following someone on video. I would definitely recommend this and am buying it for my sister who’s also pregnant. I’m 22 weeks now and will continue this dvd through my pregnancy. It’s very relaxing, great for practicing good breathing techniques and great for toning the muscles of the abs and legs. I also love how it’s broken up into two sections for shorter time or you can do it all together in 36 mins which is great also!

This has also helped me keep good posture and helped keep proper alignment. Great for back and abs.

3 Stars Needs trimester specific details
I have taken Pilates classes before and also practice yoga on a regular basis. This DVD has a nice challenging lower body section that gives you a good “burn”. However, the ab section is completely impractical when you are in your third trimester. She does not offer enough explanation and does not provide trimester specific modifications. You might as well just do a normal Pilates workout, but lean against some pillows. I found this very lacking as a specifically “pregnancy” workout video.

User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars ok but not great
I loved volume one so I thought I should try volume 2. It is ok but her descriptions are difficult to follow. I find myself having to look at the screen when I am in odd positions to see what she is doing next. She using mostly basic yoga moves but she does not call them correctly. I will do this workout throughout the pregnancy but not as much as volume 1.

2 Stars I expected more
I bought this workout because of the great reviews for Vol. 1, but I was very disappointed. The actual workout is only 17 minutes long. The yoga poses are rushed. There is no time to breath into the stretches. There are many modified poses so that you can choose your level. It is amazing what this woman can do with her pregnant body. There are some unique poses that I haven’t seen in other pregnancy yoga workouts. But, I was disappointed with this purchase. I do not want to have to pause every pose so that I can get a good stretch, and at least 30 minutes of a workout. I don’t recommend this yoga workout to anyone. Save you money.

2 Stars Too much for 3rd Trimester
I was looking for a more relaxed workout to ease my sore joints. This DVD was way to much for my 3rd trimester body. She moves so quickly that your body just can’t adjust. It left me lightheaded and disappointed that I couldn’t keep up. I prefer Shiva Rea’s yoga DVD.

5 Stars Love love love it!
This is a great DVD. It moves quickly and has some original moves, so the first few times were a little difficult to follow. But after 2 goes and one viewing of the instructional session, I fell in love with it! It gets straight down to business, flows really well and provides a good level of challenge. I feel great afterwards. It doesn’t just churn out the same old moves – the originality really adds to the enjoyment. I agree with others that the Steben sisters have great French accents and are not the least bit annoying.

It is an active workout, rather than a long slow stretch with earth mother diatribe. If Shiva Rea drives you mad (like me!), this one is really worth a try.

This one is really worth a try.

1 Star Don’t buy this!
She goes way too fast on this DVD. Not only does it make it difficult to follow her, but you don’t get to enjoy the poses or the stretches. It’s difficult to understand her directions–so you have to watch her rather than listen. You can’t do the poses and watch her at the same time, making this DVD completely worthless.

5 Stars Wonderful pregnancy yoga series
This is a wonderful prenatal yoga video series. Includes the three dvds – 45 min first trimester, 35 min second trimester, 37 min third trimester. Very nice having three separate videos so you don’t get bored with one routine. Great stretching & strengthening coordinating the breath, helps you to feel lengthened and calmer by the end. Not too intense so you are able to complete each tape even through the nauseous and tired months. Very relaxing and natural settings.

You do not have to have prior yoga experience to enjoy these videos. Sara talks you through each movement. The videos focus on yoga postures with breath-coordinated movement (for those who are familiar with yoga, its similar to moderately intense vinyasa yoga style) rather than a yoga approach that jumps from one posture to the next (hatha yoga).

I have three other prenatal yoga & workout videos (Shiva Rea, Erin O’Brien, Tracey Mallett), Sara’s is the one I prefer the most.

2 Stars I’d get a different video
The production quality on this DVD is horrible. It sounds like something I could make in my backyard. This I would overlook if it was an outstanding yoga workout. But in the second trimester, some of the moves involve moving from a flat, lying position to a backbend like move very quickly, and it makes me dizzy every single time. I doubt I am the only pregnant lady this would happen to. I am a beginning yogist, but not completely inept. I liked having three workouts tailored by trimester, and the rest of the moves were good, but I wish I had purchased a different DVD.

5 Stars My favourite of the pre-natal DVD’s
This is my favorite prenatal yoga DVD (I have bought many!). I keep pretty fit (light running, walking, light weights etc.) and this DVD compliments the regime perfectly. I always feel like I’ve actually had a workout afterwards. This is my second pregnancy and the half hour sessions are better now that I have a demanding toddler. I alternate between the 3 different sessions (the 2nd trimester is great for my back) and so never get bored.

I’ve seen comments about poor production – I note I am more interested in the actual workout than production. For example, Shiva Rea’s DVD, while it is well-produced, drives me mad as it is too easy and slow.

Other DVD’s I like are Dr. Christine Anderson’s Dynamic Prenatal Yoga DVD (longer, was great for my first pregnancy … again production not great) and the Perfect Pregnancy Workout (love this one).

5 Stars Awesome workout!!!
This is a great full body workout. I am amazed at how much I feel the burn and my heart gets pumping in such a short amount of time. Sara motivates you to keep going strong throughout the whole video.

3 Stars Sub-quality DVD but decent workout
I bought this video about six months after I had my third baby. I was well into a regular workout routine but found it hard to get to the gym sometimes. So, I bought this DVD. The workout is fine but the quality feels like a “B” movie. The instructor does her own voice-over and sometimes the counts are off. She’s just smiling at you while you’re watching her. Kind of weird.

After I had done it a handful of times I got bored and found better workout DVDs. Also, I like videos where the instructor and participants mirror me (i.e. they’re on their left foot while I’m on my right foot). If you’re just getting started on your post-natal workout (~6 weeks), I’d purchase this video and do the workout until you’re ready for something more challenging.

1 Star Hate it
I got this video thinking I am going to like it as much as her prenatal ones but I was wrong. The movement is to fast and it’s not that easy to follow it. It’s not what I expected it to be.

3 Stars Better Than I Originally Thought
The first time I did this workout I was a little underwhelmed. It was fairly easy, the music was somewhat annoying and the cueing was not always great. However, I have continued to use it in my rotation of workout DVDs and it has grown on me. It is short and basic, so its good for a naptime workout. This workout won’t get you into great shape all on its own, but it has some very good points. The abdominal workout is really good, as is the kickboxing section and the squats/ plies. Overall, this is a decent, basic, easy workout.

5 Stars A quick, challenging and motivating workout!
I love the quick workout that Sara shares on this DVD. It provides a challenging workout for your whole body and is easy to complete – even in a busy household! Sara is very motivating throughout the DVD as well. It is a great option for days where I am not able to get out of the house to exercise.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great for Avid Exerciser
I started using this video when I was 7 months pregnant. Up until that point, I continued to do my normal pre-pregnancy workout rountine which consisted of a total fitness class twice a week as well as walking, running and ab work every day. I have found this video a great replacement for my total fitness class. It is challenging enough that I still feel like I am getting a workout, but it also provides me with a comfort level that I am doing the right exercises for me and the little guy. I bought this video based on the reviews, and now I can also add that I love it too. Erin will definitely be my companion for the next 10 weeks.

4 Stars Good stuff.
Overall I like this DVD. She is high energy but not annoying…and she really gets you moving! I was actually surprised at some of the exercises – lots and lots of squats. But since she is pregnant too, it inspires you to keep up.

5 Stars The best !
My wife tried a couple of different fitness videos before, but when she got that for x-mas she was amazed. Everyday she keeps telling me how good this DVD is. She loved it, and she feels good after the around 40 minutes exercises. If you wanna sweat, that’s the video for you.

I didn’t notice at first, but it comes with 2 DVD’s, one for prenatal, other for postnatal. That’s pretty cool!

5 Stars great for the completely unfit!
I’ve never bothered to exercise at all but at about 5 months, when I started to develop back pains and calf cramps, I decided it was time to do something about my body. I love this routine as it’s simple and well demonstrated. The partner work out is a fun idea too.

5 Stars Love it!
I am just starting my second trimester and am so glad I found this dvd early enough to use it throughout my entire pregnancy. It is challenging and Erin is not annoying!
