Movie Reviews of The Perfect Pregnancy Workout vol. 1
Movie Review: Nice, Quick Workout
Summary: 4 Stars
Great quick (45 minutes) workout that gets all your muscles. It's not a cardio workout - so if you're looking for that this isn't for you. It's great strength training however. She moves quickly from one exercise to another and I found that vigorous enough on its own. But each exercise targets a different muscle group - great for keeping toned during the process of bloating up.Movie Review: Perfect for Pregnant Women Wanting to Stay Fit
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely love this video. I have completed it many times and still can't imagine it getting boring. Just when you think you can't do any more she moves on to something else. Very well timed and easy to follow.
A brief warning however: Before getting pregnant I ran 20-25 miles per week and did strength training 3 times per week. For women who were fit before they got pregnant -- you will love this workout. For moms who were not exercising regularly before pregnancy -- I would not recommend it. It is very challenging in places. For these moms I would encourage Lisa Hart or Denise Austin as a more suitable workout.
Movie Review: Great toning workout!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great workout, even if you weren't pregnant. Throughout the workout she demonstrated beginner, intermediate and advanced variations so this is a video you can improve on or is welcoming to different levels to begin with. I would still recommend this be a part of other exersize including cardio from a different source. This video really made me sore the next day and tones those muscles!Movie Review: Better than some others, but still not great.

This was purchased for my wife, she used it a few times but really wasn't all that impressed. She ended up giving it away to a friend. It was in her words... better that some others, but still not great.Movie Review: Great workout DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
A couple of months before I got pregnant, I had started doing pilates trying to get in shape. Then, I got pregnant and I had a very shaky first trimester with bleeding, so I didn't exercise at all. Now, I'm well into my second trimester, and my doctor gave me the ok to exercise. I was searching for a pregancy workout DVD and came across this one. It got great reviews, although I was a little scared that the workout might be to hard for me, since I hadn't exercised in a while. But, let me tell you, I'm glad I took a chance with this DVD! The first time I did the workout, I had to pause the DVD 3-4 times to take a break, but I felt really good afterward. I was a little sore the next day, but in a good way. I did the workout again the next day, and I only had to pause the DVD once to take a brake. So, already I'm improving my shape. I even finished the "Keep up" exercise, which I couldn't do the first time around. I really love this workout. All the major muscle groups in the body are being worked. Best of all, throughout the whole workout, my belly felt safe and comfortable. The warm up section is very relaxing but leaves you warm all over. The workout is well explained and the instructor is not the least bit annoying. Her voice is very pleasant. Seeing her toned, pregnant body really motivates me to get in shape. There are no silly dance moves to follow, and no jerky movements or sudden change of direction. Just a good toning all over. The cool down section feels great and leaves you stretched and relaxed. I'm complementing this workout with walking and riding my stationary bike for cardio. Some people commented about the dark background and the music, but you really stop noticing those once you get into the workout. The equipment needed to do the workout is simple: a chair, some pillows, hand weights (optional), and a step stool (optional). I also like that there are three levels, beginners, intermediate, and advanced, so the workout can grow with your increasing level of fitness. Before starting the workout, do yourself a favor and watch the instructional segment. It really explains all the upcoming exercises in detail, how to do them safely, and which muscles are being targeted. It also shows you how to use the equipment correctly. It even includes a test to check for separation of the abdominal muscles. I know this DVD costs a little more than some of the other ones, but it's worth every penny. I really love this workout, and I'm looking forward to it every day. After the baby is born, I will get myself back into shape with "The Perfect Postnatal Workout," which also features Karyne Steben.
