Movie Reviews of The Perfect Pregnancy Workout vol. 1
Movie Review: I hurt for days
Summary: 4 Stars
I followed the video did as she did and I was hurting for the whole next week. I think people should try this video if they are already very much so in shape like the instructor is. Movie Review: Finally a workout I can stick to!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my third pregnancy, and I've bought a different workout video for each one. I finally found one that is not cheesy, not too hard or intimidating, and not too vague in directions. It is very straight forward and easy to follow, yet it challenges you appropriately. My sister and my mother-in-law (neither of who are pregnant) have done this workout with me and complained about how sore they were the next day! They thought it was great. I normally give up on videos after doing them a couple of times, but I always look forward to doing this one and I always feel great about myself afterwards. She gives a very good intro speech about how to do the exercises the correct way, how to tell if your stomach muscles have separated and how to modify if they have, etc. Even when I don't feel like doing it, I am still compelled to start the video just because I want to watch her! She is amazingly fit! She wears this little spandex outfit that proudly displays her belly and she just looks so good! Also she is not bubbly, loud or annoying like some video instructors are. She is very soothing and positive in a very non-annoying way. I will probably continue to use this video even after I have my baby!Movie Review: Great DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't worked out in a few months and this was a great way to get back on track. She shows you variations for different levels for all the exercises. It's easy to follow and a great workout. By looking at her body during the video it keeps you motivated!Movie Review: Pregnant women can be fit too
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first pregnancy and I'm currently in my second trimester. I like that these exercises are Dr approved and these exercises have been modified for pregnant women, but that they don't treat us like such "delicate flowers". I'm not a gym rat, but I did enjoy keeping active before getting pregnant (walking hills, jogging, hiking, pilates, yoga, strength training).These exercises are hard enough that I feel like I'm getting an actual workout. I also like that Karyne usually presents 2 versions of the exercise so that you can do the beginner or intermediate version based on your fitness level. I definitely plan on getting as much exercise as possible while I still feel up to it. We'll see how I feel about exercise in the 3rd trimester - it might just be yoga and walking at that point. :)Movie Review: Good Workout Video
Summary: 4 Stars
If I could give this workout video 3 1/2 stars, I would. The video definitely will make you sweat, but some of the exercises made me a little bit nervous. I consider myself a somewhat advanced exerciser -- prior to my pregnancy, I regularly went to the gym and lifted weights, ran anywhere from 3-9 miles on the treadmill and did strength training classes -- but I was afraid to do some of the exercises in this video as demonstrated for the advanced exerciser, as they seemed a little bit dangerous for joints (specifically the lunges and deep squats). Some of the exercises were also a little bit different from what I am used to (less traditional), and when I did these exercises, I wasn't 100% sure what muscles they were supposed to be working. However, on a positive note, this video made me sweat, it has a great abdominals sections and the arm exercises are very good. Please keep in mind that if you want to do the "advanced" or "intermediate" versions of the exercises, you will need 3-5 pound weights and a small step (for the "step ups").
I also purchased the Prenatal Fitness Fix video by Erin O'Brien, and I liked that video better. The movements were easier to do, and the instruction was better (instructor focused a lot on what muscle groups were being worked).
