Movie Reviews of Leisa Hart's FitMama: Postnatal Workout / FitMama & Me
Movie Review: Great step towards getting back in shape after baby
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved Leisa Hart's FitMama prenatal workout, so I went ahead and bought this DVD while I was still pregnant. It comes with a "Coming Home" workout that breaks you very gently into working out again, and then the "regular" workout is great for when you're ready to start more than just a gentle breaking in. I didn't do the "Coming Home" workout for very long with my son, and didn't bother with it at all with my daughter, but then, I didn't start until she was three months old. With the regular workout, what I like about it is the way it's broken up into segments, in case you want to do it in shorter bursts or just parts of it, or you can do it all together (which is generally what I choose).
If you did the FitMama workout, this one is extremely easy to follow as several of the moves are similar. However, even if you didn't do the FitMama workout, I still think this one would be easy to follow as the moves aren't overly complicated and Leisa does a very good job of demonstrating and explaining the moves. She also shows variations of the moves that some people may find harder.
I don't like this workout quite as much as the FitMama workout, but I think that's simply because after awhile, I outgrew the aerobics parts of it and got a bit tired of it, even with the variations to make it more difficult. It's definitely a wonderful transition DVD to start with after having the baby though - it's a great way to start exercising again and makes a wonderful stepping stone towards other workouts. And even despite feeling like I've outgrown the aerobics part, I find the pilates and yoga segments to still be good. So at least for me, I'm only very slowly outgrowing it.
The seperate FitMama and Me workout is also definitely interesting, though you need more space for it than you do the regular workout portions as it involves using your stroller and some fairly large movements when you take the stroller into account. I like the idea of involving your child in your workout, and my son got a real kick out of it.
This workout won't last you for forever, but then, I don't think it's really designed to either. Leisa Hart is also a very enjoyable and easy to follow instructor. It's definitely great for getting back into the swing of exercising after the baby is born, and the variations are good if you can't immediate start doing the harder moves.
