Customer Reviews: Read 202 more reviews... Great workout. November 20, 2008JustMissy (NH - USA) I've always worked out but before becoming pregnant I had a knee injury (5 months before) and I've been taking it easy. My knee is back to feeling somewhat normal and I want to exercise again so I decided to invest in this dvd. I really enjoy this workout, but it isn't too taxing. That is a good thing being pregnant but I think if you are in GOOD shape to start with maybe you are better off reading about fitness while pregnant and modifying your current workout. I really enjoyed hearing about what the tape instructor had to say about pregnancy. I found this dvd helpful, informative and fun. Great DVD for moms to be! November 11, 2008Patricia Pulido (NYC) I really like this workout, I would recommend for beginners and advance workout. I feel great after I do workout. The background is not that great, but it doesn't bother me... The Perfect Repetitious Pregnancy Workout November 6, 2008Skylur (Milford, PA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I decided to purchase this DVD because of the massive good reviews it received. I really wanted a good prenatal workout that would keep me in shape and prepare me for birth. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Upon trying out this DVD I was a bit disappointed. It's not that I found the workout to be unsafe, or not contain anything it claimed to. I simply find this workout cheesy and boring. I hate Karyne's accent and the video's music. Usually, those kind of things in a exercise DVD don't even bother me! Neither is cute or interesting in the least. The background is extremely dark and detracted from the atmosphere and the mood. The movements are repetitious, and remind me of being back in school gym class. I expected some innovative movements from the reviews, but it's all based on all those old boring strengthening techniques that are designed to bulk you up quickly. To top it all off I couldn't finish the workout because I grew so tired and dizzy at the pace that I collapsed on the floor half falling asleep because it was so draining...before I woke up 15 minutes later enough to drag myself to bed and black-out...i mean...sleep for a few hours. If you prefer exercise routines that involve yoga, pilates, lotte berk technique, or callanetics then this DVD is probably not for you. If you are more of the type of person who likes going to the gym and using the machines, or taking an aerobics class then this may be more up your alley. On a final note, if you still plan on purchasing this DVD please take my advice and take it easy. Don't try to do too much too quickly. I was in fairly good shape when I did it--I do Callanetics 10 Years Younger in 10 Hours - Amazon.com Exclusive twice a week (minus the stomach exercises since I've been pregnant) and Callanetics can be quite challenging commonly having reps of 100 or 50, deeply contracting the muscles. I still collapsed with the Perfect Pregnancy Workout. Great Workout October 28, 2008Deirdre von Spiegelfeld I am a very active gal, but my first trimester left me sick, tired and completely unable to work out. I ordered this dvd to try to get back into a workout routine around my 12th week and it has really been great. It gets me moving and motivated and leaves me feeling like I really did something with my body. It has beginning, intermediate and advance positions to follow. I use a combination of all three throughout the workout. I find it pretty challenging...I probably wouldn't if I wasn't pregnant...my my energy and fitness level has definitely changed over the last 3 1/2 months! I have already recommended it to my prego pals! Good workout October 15, 2008Dana N. Archer 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I really like this workout because it is challenging but does not require too much coordination. The instructor shows different ways to do each of the exercises to increase/decrease the intensity and you can pick which is right for you. Also, it focuses on the total body which I really like. I guess I should also add that I am not in great shape but not terrible shape either. I don't know if this is a good workout if you are a real exercise buff. | |||||||||||
