DVD Reviews of Pilates During Pregnancy, Vol. 1
DVD Review: Great DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
I really, really like this DVD!
Before becoming pregnant I was in ok shape, not great shape. I took 4 weeks of pilates mat about 1 1/2 years ago, so I'm not a pilates regular. I would say my level is high beginner since I have the fundamentals but did not have a regular practice.
I totally disagree with the review that says this is too hard for a beginner or even intermediate student. I only had to stop once or twice and couldn't do the last couple of reps of the move being played- my legs were burning too much. Otherwise, I did all moves no problem. I did both sessions back to back.
The length is perfect!! You feel like you've done something but definitely not like you won't be able to finish or that it's dragging on too long. The pace is good- uptempo but not crazy. The instructor is soothing and does not over-explain anything. She is easy to get the feel of the move from quickly.
I would highly recommend this as a great complement to a walking program or some other cardio workout.
DVD Review: Excellent workout!
Summary: 5 Stars
This dvd really workouts out your abs and legs! I also like that the workouts are short which is good after a long day of work. DVD Review: Excellent Workout
Summary: 5 Stars
This video is excellent for those of us who are pregnant, have done pilates before and still want a workout. I have tried another DVD (Tracey Mallet), and was disapointed by the lack of pilates (it was mostly stretching and yoga - definitely not a workout!). The only thing that is missing from this workout is upper body (it has core and lower only). However, this will make you sweat, yet can still be done while pregnant. If you want a pilates workout, this video is a must.DVD Review: Really Works the Outer Thighs
Summary: 5 Stars
This video is only about 35 minutes long with both the abdominal workout (about 15min) and the thigh workout (about 20min.). This workout is perfect for anyone wanting to get rid of their outer and inner thighs and it took several days for all the soreness to set in from this workout. Your thighs will be burning while doing this, it really does work! I did not have a problem with viewing the movements like some others have mentioned. Niece's pants are dark and so is the mat, but I could still tell exactly what she was doing. The only point that I really didn't like was when she is standing up, the camera cuts her legs off and you can't really see the movement as well, but this doesn't interfere that much. Overall this is a great video, that really works, is challenging, and is exactly what I needed!DVD Review: Excellent workout for experienced pilates practicioners
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been on the hunt for a challenging yet safe pilates video to do while pregnant. In my first pregnancy, I had the luxury of doing pilates on machines with private and semi-private lessons, which I continued for 2 years post-pardum. Unfortunately for me, we have moved away from my beloved pilates studio and I have been unable to find a new studio at an affordable cost to continue machine work. Luckily, I feel that my experience gave me a good foundation in order to do this video at the pace it is performed at, while still maintaining proper pilates form. Without my previous experience, I think doing the exercises properly and effectively would be frustrating and very very difficult.
After no abdominal workouts for during my first trimester due to awful "morning" sickness, my muscles are very week, and I did have a more difficult time with the exercises than I'm used to having when in shape, however I am completely confidant that with consistent practice, this video will get me labor-ready and back in shape.
The video is broken up into 2 distinct sections, the first being for ab work, the second for leg/butt work. If you are not in the best shape to begin with, I would recommend only doing one section at a time, and not overdoing it in the beginning by doing the entire video. Pilates is very effective and you will quickly be able to do both sections together, should you choose.
I chose this video knowing from other reviews it would be challenging and best for more experienced practitioners, and I completely agree. It is FABULOUS for me, and I'm thrilled that I was able to find a workout to do at home that is worth my time.
Description of Pilates During Pregnancy, Vol. 1
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!
