DVD Reviews of The Perfect Postnatal Workout
DVD Review: Excellent, realistic workout
Summary: 4 Stars
After reading some of the reviews here I chose this DVD and the Lindsay Brin.
Brin's is much more professional, and impressively flexible with its various effort levels and multiple components. But it doesn't include baby, which makes it one more thing to cram into baby's naptime - plus, one of the ab exercises I've since been told you shouldn't do - Brin doesn't mention "diastasis" once, and you would hope for more awareness.
This workout, on the other hand, does include baby, which makes it much more practical. Baby enjoys it when he's in the mood, and even when he's not, he'll generally tolerate it - and I'll sometimes get some smiles even if he's in a grump. He especially loves it when I do push-ups over him.
It doesn't look hard, and certainly it doesn't challenge in the way that the Brin workout can, but I do a similar style class every week and this nevertheless has the ability to make me ache a little the next day, and it does make me break a sweat. I find the fact that it's gentle to be a real benefit, in fact: it's not a daunting prospect, it's doable even when I'm tired, so I'm much more likely to do it than the Brin. And even though she's obviously super-fit, it really is her baby, just 8 weeks old, and she genuinely engages with her during the exercises, which is both charming and helpful as an example.
It's made up of three short workouts - the first is carefully designed for the first four weeks post-natal, and is not much more than Kegels and stretches; the other two (about 15' with stretches) are full-body workouts, lifting your baby in the air, swinging it (in a controlled way!) to work your triceps, using it as resistance in sensible but challenging abdominal exercises. You can run all three together comfortably, using the first workout as a warm-up.
I'd give it five stars, but it's too short - I'd have liked a couple more workouts so I could chop and change a bit more.
