I previewed my dvd saturday night. This morning, after feeding my 11 week old at 5 am, I started the workout. Shellie does a great job at a good pace. This post-natal incorporates Taebo moves at a pace suitable for new mommies. I tried doing my old Taebo tapes but found it hard to keep up. This video is a great start to getting back to Taebo advance status. Thanks Shellie! See you again in the morning.

Billy Blanks: Postnatal Power-Tea Bo workout lets you regain your body after the pregnancy. I felt comfortable with the tempo of the workout and motivated to loss my baby weight. Although, I would have liked for Shellie to include an advanced workout program as well.

I got this dvd for my birthday and I tried it out today and LOVED it. She works every inch of your body and she goes at a great pace. She also explains all ofthe moves very well so that you know you're doing them correctly. You can pick the segments of the workout that you want to do, but I was having so much fun I ended up doing the whole 50 minutes and time flew by. Shelly also talks to you like you're right there, and just like her dad, Billy Blanks, she makes you feel like she really cares about you! I HIGHLY recommend this workout! I can't wait to do it tomorrow!

Oh My godness did I loose weight, Well this is really great! Thumbs up

I am actually still pregnant, and have only done the work-out twice so my review may be a bit premature :o) I do intend to use it as a postnatal work-out as well, but in the meantime, wanted something a little bit lower impact than the typical Tae Bo work-out and this fits the bill perfectly. It's an hour long, which may be considered a lot, but it is made up of 4 segments concentrating on different areas - upper body, lower body, core/abs and cardio - so you can mix and match the mini work-outs as you please. I consider myself pretty fit and found this challenging but low impact - so great for later stages of pregnancy as well as an early postnantal workout - as it is designed to be. I would recommend this product highly as a good work-out for the early postnantal months.

I bought this dvd a few months ago and was so impressed I bought more copies for friends because as my review heading says, it's not just for new moms. And now i'm buying more to turn more people on to this dvd.

I love Shellie's pace, her clear instructions and her attention to form. It's a low impact yet thorough workout for those of us that have to be a little more careful with our moves yet still wanna sweat.
I myself have knees that act up from time to time and I'm just really starting to ge back into my fitness routine in hope to take it up a notch. The friends I've bought this for are dealing with various issues ranging from minor back issues, knees / other joint issues, to just plain making the decision to get up off the couch. But we do all have this in common: the desire to take charge of our health. Also for those of you that want standing ab work, you will not be disappointed
Please go out and buy this one ( after I get my copies of course )

I am really enjoying the Postnatal Power Tae Bo Workout with Shellie. My daughter is already 16 months old and it's taken me awhile to get back in the right frame of mind to even want to exercise again. I'm 250 lbs., and even I can do this workout! It makes me feel powerful. I'm amazed that such simple moves can really work your muscles and make you sweat! I would highly recommend this workout to any mom who has a lot of weight to lose because it just gets you moving. I lost 70 pounds doing Tae Bo workouts before we conceived, so I know it works. Love, love, love Tae Bo! I especially love that Billy & Shellie are believers in our awesome God!

I read the reviews on this dvd before doing the workout, and I have to say I completely disagree that it was too low in intensity. I used to do the Taebo Advanced workout before getting pregnant, and was moderately active through my pregnancy, gaining 30 pounds total, so not obese or anything. And this got my blood pumping and thighs burning!!
If you keep your stomach held the whole time and make sure your legs are bent low enough, I don't see how you couldn't burn by the end. It's an hour long and the cardio segment was awesome, definitely more than "a walk around the block" as one user put it. The ONLY thing I would change is a longer ab segment, or the ab work being on the ground as crunches, like in the advanced dvd from Billy Blanks. But all in all, I think it's great!

This work out dvd is not too bad. It really is for someone who is a beginner or just off of bed rest. I myself was just off of bed rest and I found this dvd very helpful. I even worked up a sweat! It did help me loose the baby weight. But again if you were working out hardcore before pregnancy or during than this dvd is not for you. All others this is a great post pregnancy work out.

I've been doing Tae Bo on and off for about ten years. Every single time I switch workouts, I always come screaming back to Tae Bo. It's the only workout that works for me. I've lost inches, sculpted muscles and developed lean muscle and tone with the help of Tae Bo. Shellie is an incredible instructor. She's such a motivator and I found myself smiling and laughing throughout the workout. She reminds us that we're tough! We're moms, we can do anything and after labor, a workout is nothing in comparison, lol.

The workout itself is perfectly paced for those of us who are just starting to get back into a workout regimen. It's not too fast and not too slow. But most importantly the intensity level is just perfect. You really work up a sweat without feeling like you're on your last legs.

Shellie explains each move and truly motivates you to finish each set without being too pushy or perky. Each segment targets the typical post-pregnancy trouble spots, ie, hips, thighs, buns, as well as upperbody, abs and core. The cardio section is a lot of fun and the tempo is just perfect. Again, the intensity level is what I appreciated most. You're pushed just enough to huff and puff, but not to the point of sheer exhaustion. I really felt the effects after just one workout. And I can honestly say, my abs, arms, and legs have never felt this thoroughly worked out, though I also dabble in power yoga, T-TAPP and various other cardio workouts on a regular basis.

This workout is definitely one of my favorites!
