DVD Reviews of Tai Chi For Expecting Mothers
DVD Review: great workout, poor dvd quality
Summary: 2 Stars
Loved this workout to begin with but DVD started freezing/skipping after only 2 months. Tried cleaning it with dvd cleaner, that didn't help. I bought a couple other pregnancy workout DVDs but this was my favorite and it was also more expensive than the others. It skips less when I play it on my laptop but impossible to use in either of my two regular dvd players. DVD Review: Excellent DVD for all Mothers
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent DVD for pregnant mamas. No impact and very relaxing and soothing. I have had four children and tried many of the other prenatal exercise DVDs and this is by far my favorite. Beth's voice is very soothing and relaxing. The set is very different and realistic as opposed to the fake sets of some other videos. I highly recommend this video to my doula and childbirth education clients and would recommend it to YOU! DVD Review: Neck and Shoulder Pain
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this DVD because I needed to do something to reduce neck and shoulder pain. I also needed something that would be low impact since I haven't done any type of regular exercise for several years. This DVD is exactly what I needed. The routine does a great job of stretching out/loosening up my problems areas. If I come home from work with a neck and shoulder ache, I can always count on this DVD to come to the rescue. I also appreciate the calming, de-stressing effects of the routine at the end of the day. I highly recommend this DVD and it's not just for the pregnant.DVD Review: Not Tai Chi and poor sound
Summary: 2 Stars
For one thing, it's not Tai Chi in any recognizable form. What it is, is a slow, repetitive series of moves derived from the traditional series of Tai Chi moves. I didn't find it to be of any muscular or cardio benefit at all. If you want to meditate, then buy something of that nature, because this doesn't fulfill that criteria, either. Plus, the DVD warns you that it isn't up to par for surround sound and so should rely on TV audio instead. Since this wasn't an inexpensive DVD it seemed that they overly skimped on the production quality despite the premium pricing.
Save your money and buy a different DVD.
DVD Review: Highly Recommend this DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this DVD based on the reviews and I'm glad I bought it. I feel really energized and relaxed after doing the tai chi. I thought the interviews on the special features menu about tai chi was interesting and learned a lot about what makes tai chi so different than anything else I have tried. I feel like I'm doing something really healthy for myself and my baby when I'm doing this DVD. Well worth it. Good buy.
