What Others Say
Great workout.
I've always worked out but before becoming pregnant I had a knee injury (5 months before) and I've been taking it easy. My knee is back to feeling somewhat normal and I want to exercise again so I decided to invest in this dvd. I really enjoy this workout, but it isn't too taxing. That is a good thing being pregnant but I think if you are in GOOD shape to start with maybe you are better off reading about fitness while pregnant and modifying your current workout. I really enjoyed hearing about what the tape instructor had to say about pregnancy. I found this dvd helpful, informative and fun.
Great DVD for moms to be!
I really like this workout, I would recommend for beginners and advance workout. I feel great after I do workout.
The background is not that great, but it doesn't bother me...
The Perfect Repetitious Pregnancy Workout
I decided to purchase this DVD because of the massive good reviews it received. I really wanted a good prenatal workout that would keep me in shape and prepare me for birth. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
Upon trying out this DVD I was a bit disappointed. It's not that I found the workout to be unsafe, or not contain anything it claimed to. I simply find this workout cheesy and boring.
I hate Karyne's accent and the video's music. Usually, those kind of things in a exercise DVD don't even bother me! Neither is cute or interesting in the least. The background is extremely dark and detracted from the atmosphere and the mood. The movements are repetitious, and remind me of being back in school gym class. I expected ... Read More
Great Workout
I am a very active gal, but my first trimester left me sick, tired and completely unable to work out. I ordered this dvd to try to get back into a workout routine around my 12th week and it has really been great. It gets me moving and motivated and leaves me feeling like I really did something with my body. It has beginning, intermediate and advance positions to follow. I use a combination of all three throughout the workout. I find it pretty challenging...I probably wouldn't if I wasn't pregnant...my my energy and fitness level has definitely changed over the last 3 1/2 months! I have already recommended it to my prego pals!
Good workout
I really like this workout because it is challenging but does not require too much coordination. The instructor shows different ways to do each of the exercises to increase/decrease the intensity and you can pick which is right for you. Also, it focuses on the total body which I really like. I guess I should also add that I am not in great shape but not terrible shape either. I don't know if this is a good workout if you are a real exercise buff.
