Movie Reviews of Leisa Hart's FitMama - Prenatal Workout
Movie Review: Great Video, Just what I was looking for!
Summary: 5 Stars
This video is great! The instructor is in her last trimester of pregancy and participates in the whole video, which gave me confidence that the workout is completely safe. She also has class participants in the first trimester and second trimester in the video.
There are some modifications for each trimester, but they are very easy to follow, just keep your eyes on the class participants that are in the same trimester as you are.
There are two main 20 minute workouts. One is a traditional Aerobics workout (called Salsa Dance) and the other is a yoga style workout. This gives you the flexibility to alternate between workouts. Or early in your pregnancy (or later days when you have a lot of energy) you can do both workouts back to back for 40 minutes of exercise.
After the two main workouts there are two stretching sections (one for toning muscles for delivery and one for traditional cooldown). Again, sometimes I have been alternating these and sometimes I run through both. These are 6 minutes and 8 minutes long.
I also appreciated the fact that the equipment you need for this workout is minimal. They call for a towel or sticky yoga mat, a pillow, yoga ball (which I ended up substituting to another small pillow), and a yoga strap/another towel. So I was able to get started quickly and fully participate.
I have been participating in aerobics classes for many years on and off and I agree with some of the other viewers that this is not the most strenuous workout out there. However, I find it very challenging at my 5th month of pregnancy. And you can do the two main workouts together for more challenge. So it really suits my needs, and I think it will suit the needs of the majority of pregnant women.
The instructor is also very helpful and encouraging.
I also purchased Fusion Pilates by Jennifer Gianni and did not like that video at all and will be selling it. I think you must be very experienced in Pilates before you were pregnant to be able to follow and get a lot out of the Fusion Pilates video.
Summary of Leisa Hart's FitMama - Prenatal Workout
From Buns of Steel instructor Leisa Hart comes this safe, fun, and effective program for moms-to-be. The workout is broken into four different segments designed to help you avoid excessive weight gain, increase your energy, ease back pain, improve digestion, prepare for labor and delivery, and bounce back quickly after your baby is born. The first segment, Salsa Dance, introduces easy-to-follow low-impact moves. Next is Yoga Fat Burn, which targets every major muscle group with emphasis on the hips and thighs. Labor and Delivery Prep helps build abdominal strength combined with Kegel exercises to strengthen pelvic floor muscles. The last portion, Prenatal Stretch and Relax, focuses on easing back discomfort with stretching as you concentrate on labor and delivery breathing techniques.Similar DVD Movies
