DVD Reviews of The Perfect Pregnancy Workout vol. 1
DVD Review: Good workout
Summary: 4 Stars
I really like this workout because it is challenging but does not require too much coordination. The instructor shows different ways to do each of the exercises to increase/decrease the intensity and you can pick which is right for you. Also, it focuses on the total body which I really like. I guess I should also add that I am not in great shape but not terrible shape either. I don't know if this is a good workout if you are a real exercise buff.DVD Review: Another 5-star Review
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this video when I was a just several weeks pregnant, and I have not been disappointed. The warm-up and cool-down are very relaxing physically and mentally, and the workout is challenging without being ridiculously hard. You can also take it to whatever level you want by increasing the difficulty at which you exercise (three levels- beginner, intermediate, and advanced- are shown for several different exercises.)
She includes Kegel exercises within the workout, which is fantastic. (You can watch the informational section to find out exactly how to do these.) It's encouraging that she is very pregnant in the video and is still doing everything right along with you. Best of all, unlike most exercise videos where the annoyingly perky instructor gives you a pep-talk through the whole thing and it just makes you want to mute your tv, her voice narrates it in an encouraging and straight-forward way. I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone wanting to start exercising during pregnancy, or to someone who has worked out for a while. It's great!
DVD Review: Worth it!
Summary: 5 Stars
Give it a go! You will not be disappointed. It's only 40 minutes, but is a great program. It's short enough that the excuse "I don't have enough time" is preposterous, and yet comprehansive enough that I feel great after I finish every time! I enjoy the three levels (beginner, intermediate, and advanced) for most of the exercises which means that you can bring it up or down a notch depending on where you are and what kind of day you are having. I choose this video frequently from my little collection and would recommend it. If you do it, it's worth it.DVD Review: A good work-out for any level of fitness
Summary: 4 Stars
This dvd is a good pregnancy work-out no matter how in or out of shape you may be. There are modifications for your level of fitness. DVD Review: Not that hard.
Summary: 4 Stars
I am at the end of my first trimester and I don't consider myself fit. I have been a total couch potato for the past 4 years although I was a fitness nut before that, exercising 5 hours a day. I couldn't do anything till the 10th week because of pregnancy sickness. I bought this DVD together with vol 2, hoping to be very challenged. But other than the push-ups, the rest are very doable at the advanced level. The workout focused a lot on arm toning, which is good, but I don't really understand how that is important in a pregnancy. She explained what kegel is! I am sure many people knew what it is, but I didn't. The background is plain but not distracting. Not a fan of the music either since I like to be zen and prefer to stretch in soothing music. But all these are personal preferences. I think the instructor's attitude is sweet and unpretentious and I actually like her accent. Overall, I think it's a pretty good toning workout (which is what it was advertised to be. So if you are looking for aerobic, you may not like this) but not overly challenging.
