DVD Reviews of Complete Pregnancy Fitness with Erin O'BrienDVD Review: One of my favorite workouts! Summary: 5 StarsI've never been enthusiastic about a workout video, but this one really impressed me. While some users have been put off by an unprofessional look to the video, I liked that she filmed in her uncluttered, simple living room. The music was a bit repetitive but I didn't mind it compared to the music I've heard in other videos.
Although I have never been obese, I didn't exercise during my first pregnancy and I gained too much weight which caused complications for myself and my baby. After birth, I struggled to take care of my family for months due to health issues. For my second, I committed to keep exercising and eat a healthy diet. This workout has been a big help to me.
When I began this workout, it was challenging for me, so I did what I could at a slower pace than the instructor. Take it easy if you haven't been exercising or if you feel your heart rate going too fast. Gradually, I have been able to do more and it's been rewarding to feel my body get stronger.
Erin O'Brien takes time to emphasize safe exercise throughout pregnancy. I was concerned about the safety of exercise while pregnant, but this video has been very helpful. She reminds you to modify the exercise if your heart rate is too high and explains proper form. The exercises are great for preparing for childbirth and keeping in shape, which is so important. It's not wrong to want to endure labor better (you need to be in good shape to do endure such hard work!) and have less weight to lose! Expecting moms need to take care of themselves and gain just a sensible amount of weight for both their health and their baby's. I'm looking forward to using her post-natal workout and then moving on to her Strong Body, Ageless Body workout when I'm ready!
DVD Review: I love Erin! Summary: 5 StarsComplete Pregnancy Fitness with Erin O'Brien
I'm online now looking for more of Erin's workouts. Both the prenatal and postnatal workouts were very managable for me to do. More than anything, they gave me peace and I felt like I was doing something for my mind and body. Erin has an awesome attitude and is not annoying to me like a lot of instructors can be. I felt like I was working out with a friend (sound weird, but true!). I like how the postnatal has 3 progressions to build your strength gradually.
LOVE IT!
DVD Review: Best Pregnancy Workout Summary: 5 StarsI tried tons of different videos while I was pregnant, but ended up just doing this one each day. It was more challenging than the others but also short enough that I could make myself do it. When I delivered, the Doctor was amazed at what great shape I was in. I am now doing the postnatal workout which is great as well. I highly recommend this set, Erin is a wonderful instructor.
DVD Review: The most perfect #1 workout!! Summary: 5 StarsThis set is the most perfect workout set! I started the prenatal when i was 5 months and it was exactly what i needed. You get everything you would ever want- stretching, cardio, and strength training! And the even better thing is the instructor is 7 months preggo! Now the postnatal was amazing! I cant put into words what a god send the postnatal workout was! THis is the only pregnancy workout program anyone needs!
DVD Review: I love Erin! and her workout too! Summary: 5 StarsI bought three dvds to keep me in shape while pregnant. This one, "The Perfect Pregnancy Workout" and "Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga with Jennifer Wolfe"
Of the three, this is the one I reach for daily. My Prenatal dvd skips, and the "Perfect Pregnancy Workout" is rigorous, but boring. I like this one because it's a good workout and I enjoy doing it daily. I'm 34 and was jogging 2-3xs a week before I was pregnant. I stopped completely in my first tri (just too exhausted) and started using these dvds in my second trimester to get back into shape.
I have about 20 exercise dvds and this is the first one I've fallen in love with. It feels like Erin is your own personal trainer in your own living room. There's no pretense, no overly done lighting, and no fancy makeup. The workout is fun, simple and effective. Erin is down to earth, informative and real. I also love that she's in her third trimester - very inspiring!
The workout is divided into 4 sections; warm up, dynamic movement, floor exercises and stretching/cool down. She put a lot of thought into this dvd, there are water and pee breaks. She is pregnant with her second baby here, and it is clear that she designed this workout to prepare you for CHILDBIRTH. Lots of lower body moves, kegels and cardio (with her always reminding you to make sure you aren't panting).
Unlike a lot of exercise dvds it is very clear that Erin teaches classes regularly. She's very experienced, knowledgable and communicative.
I don't live in southern California anymore, but I wish I did so I could seek out her gym and take her classes. I can't tell you how much I love this dvd.
