Movie Reviews of Denise Austin: Fit & Firm Pregnancy
Movie Review: A Wonderful Prenatal Workout-- Use it Early!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this workout DVD when I was about 2.5 months along in my second pregnancy. I had been feeling achy and stiff and I wanted to workout. Let me first say that my first pregnancy, 13 months ago, was horrible comfort-wise because I sat around and got stiff, thinking that working out wasn't important. But let me tell you, IT IS IMPORTANT especially during pregnancy. I didn't work out with my first pregnancy at all and by the 4th month I couldn't walk without pain. Well, this time around I searched AMAZON for a decent prenatal workout and because I'm a die-hard Denise Austin Fan I picked this one. I'm so happy I did! As mentioned earlier I received it in the mail and immediately began using it. At that time I was about 14 weeks or so. The first day I did it I was a little stiff but I pulled through and followed up with the toning session. That night I got the best sleep of my life. I felt so comfortable and my body felt so relaxed. So I continued working out to this video if not 7 times a week, at least 5. I was so energetic, by the time I got to my 5th month, I was able to easily run up the stairs in our apartment! I'm now 7.5 months along in my pregnancy and because my baby has dropped low in my pelvis, I'm unable to do the cardio portion of the DVD without a little discomfort, but I still do the 3rd trimester toning from time to time, which feels wonderful and keeps me strong.[by the way, Denise constantly reminds you that if you do feel discomfort, stop.] I was overweight when I got pregnant and by using this dvd (and eat healthy/drink lots of water) I've managed to only gain 6 pounds with only 9 weeks left for the pregnancy. I don't have much swelling and I'm so much more active, and comfortable this time around and I credit that at least 70% to the DENISE AUSTIN Fit & Firm Pregnancy. I will be having a scheduled c-section delivery method but after my 6 weeks is over, I will be doing the post natal workout that's also featured on the dvd and I will provide my feedback then. Get this dvd, don't wait. Your body will thank you!! :)
UPDATE:
I had my son, by c-section 2 weeks ago and I am now 13 POUNDS LIGHTER than I was BEFORE I got PREGNANT! I feel pretty decent painwise as well. I am now on a sensible diet, restricted calories plan to help me lose more weight. But it's awesome to weigh less than when I got pregnant and I credit controlling myself when it came to food and Working out with this dvd. My stomach is a little saggy from the pregnancy still and will need some toning and work, but it's a WHOLE lot smaller than it used to be, even before pregnancy. I haven't been the weight I am now in 4 yrs! who would have thought I'd weigh this much less, with a mere 2 weeks postpartum. I encourage any and all to workout. Denise helped me with my posture, so I believe i had better control over my ab muscles during pregnancy as well. I am so happy. I can't wait until I reach my 6 weeks mark so I can begin the postnatal section of the dvd..i will give a review of that as well :)
Here's a breakdown of my weight:
Pre pregnancy weight = 186 lbs.
Average weight during pregnancy = 193 lbs.
Weight on the day of delivery =198 lbs.
Weight 2 weeks postnatal= 173
