Editorial Reviews

Turn fitness time into playtime with the Infantastic! Workout. This landmark post-natal exercise program helps new moms bounce back from childbirth and regain energy and strength by working out with your adorable pint-sized training partner. Inspired by natural everyday movements you perform with your baby, Infantastic! Workout offers proper form checks, advanced exercise options and great baby-bonding experiences. Divided into three mini-workouts, the program places special emphasis on the areas which new moms are most concerned - abdominals, thighs, buttocks and the pelvic floor muscles. Upper body exercises are also included to help you regain proper posture as well as strengthen your arms for a busy day of baby-lifting.

Infantastic! Workout features:
•Three mini workouts
•Bonding and intimacy with baby
•Safety and fitness guidelines
•Relaxing stretches

Rachel Van Castle, an ACE and AFAA certified fitness instructor with over 14 years experience, uses her warm and inspirational personality to guide moms through this unique baby-friendly workout. Rather than staging workouts in a studio setting, Infantastic! Workout shows moms exercising and bonding with their little ones in the comfort of their own homes. A soothing, yet invigorating soundtrack lends a mood that embraces this special baby-bonding time and leaves you feeling refreshed and ready to take on the demands of motherhood.

5.0 out of 5 stars Infantastic is Just That!!, May 25, 2004

By

This review is from: Infantastic! Workout - Bonding with Baby through Exercise [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video is incredible. I've never known a video to have this originality in my 10 years of serious fitness training. In the morning when my daughter wakes up we start off our day with this challenging, yet intimate video to really set the tone for the day. The home setting is VERY comfortable, the movements and exercises are challenging, yet doable for a first workout after I had my baby. As a RN in Labor & Delivery & post partum, I've been recommending this tape to all my patients...I get many notes back from them saying, "THANK YOU, THANK YOU , THANK YOU!!"

5.0 out of 5 stars A workout a new mother can actually find time to do!, October 12, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Infantastic! Workout - Bonding with Baby through Exercise [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I love this video because 1) the exercises are something I can do with my baby; 2) the exercises are broken into groups so I don't have to do all of them in one sitting or have the video running every time; 3) it's playtime for my son - sometimes it is hard to entertain a young baby all day, so when I run out of ideas, I do some "exercise games" with him!; 4) my baby loves it and he laughs & plays while I do all the work; 5) it makes me feel good about myself to get a little exercise in each day, especially knowing that I don't have to stop interacting with my son to do it or give up my "break time" when he is napping

As my son gets older & harder to lift (or to get to sit still!) I plan on still doing the exercises - but probably with weights or something instead, like shown in the video.

4.0 out of 5 stars This video is great for me and my baby!, March 16, 2004

This review is from: Infantastic! Workout - Bonding with Baby through Exercise [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I have been using this for 6 weeks with my second son Aaron and he has been having so much fun exercising with me! He's 6 months old no and we have a few more months until he gets too rambunctious for some of the exercises. The difference betweeen this and other post-pregnacy videos I've seen is the focus on bonding with my baby while I'm exercising. The video quality is wonderful and home settings give this a much more intimate feel. There might be some mothers who want a gym or club feel for their workout, but I find this much more comfortable. I hope they come out with some companion videos.
