DVD Reviews of Prenatal Pilates
DVD Review: Easy to follow exercise
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm not one who exercises regularly but when I got pregnant I was told (again and AGAIN) that I must. I don't like walking and I refused to buy a maternity swimsuit (it's not so much the vanity as the price of these tents!) so I decided to try yoga. I bought a yoga book and a yoga mat... but alas, yoga wasn't for me. Not only did I find it extremely difficult to follow written directions (yoga directions are anything but succinct) but I also fell asleep while doing the breathing exercises. So I learned my lesson: I need something that shows me what to do and something that requires a bit more movement. This is where this DVD comes in. I found the directions simple to follow, especially as they were acted out in the DVD; I found the exercises easy to complete and the time required was short enough that I could actually stick to doing this routine (well, most of the time...).
There were some flaws however:
1. the woman giving instructions talks in a weird intonation and there were some things I just couldn't understand regardless of how many times I re-played them. E.g., I still don't know if she says to breath out my nose or my mouth!
2. the instructions don't always synch perfectly with the action, especially when she goes off on a tangent mid-exercise; so when you're supposed to be breathing in she suddenly says to breath out. What I did was learn the exercises (for the final trimester I just watched the DVD and wrote down the exercises since at this point I knew the names pretty well) and do them without the DVD playing in the background to distract me.
3. I couldn't do all the exercises for various reasons (my writsts are too weak for a couple of the routines, and I don't have a wall in my house I can use to lean against with enough space to follow the directions). But I found that what I could do was sufficient for my level and I can definitely feel the benefits of a stronger back, legs, and muscles.
In short, if you're not an exercise-daddict I recommend this DVD and this routine for you; I liked it enough to buy the post-natal version. If, however, you're very athletic and already in good shape you may want something a little longer and probably a little more active (I'm assuming... I don't know how athletic people cope with pregnancy since I'm not one of them).
