1.0 out of 5 stars AWFUL!, September 2, 2003

I bought this video because I wanted to add some variety to my other pregnancy workouts. I have the Leisa Hart Pregnancy workout and The Crunch Yoga Mama both of which I love. This was fairly new and I have a Crunch workout led by Gloria Quinlan called "Latin Blaster" which I have always enjoyed.

First off the speed of aerobics in this workout paralells the intensity of my regular videos which means I was not able to do the whole thing. It left me dizzy, out of breath and miserable. The description on the back of the tape states there is a warmup (15 minutes), aerobic section (20 minutes), and cool down (15 minutes) that is a lie. The warmup is about 7 minutes long, aerobics is 30 minutes long, PLUS an additional 10 minutes weight lifting section (which you dont know is coming and are unprepared for) and the cool down is about 5 minutes. The cool down is completely insufficient it doesnt stretch your muscles at all nearly what they need. Plus the aerobics section is very hard. I used to workout 2-3 hours a day before pregnancy now I am able to do an hour. This tape still left me unable to do it because the intensity is too much for anyone but an athlete in their pregnancy.

All I have to say is the production is poor, its unsafe and misleading to read the back. Dont waste your money, dont waste your time and either get the other two I reccomended or just take a nice walk!

4.0 out of 5 stars Just What I Needed, January 23, 2004

This review is from: Miracle of Life: Pregnancy Workout (DVD)

I've been using this workout video since my sixth month of pregnancy. I found that it was just what I needed to add a little variety to my work out. She starts with a segment of warming up, then follows with three segments of aerobics and dance moves, and a great cool down. There's also a couple segments that focus on toning arms, legs, and abdominals (all of which are completly safe for you and the baby). The first couple times I used it I was having trouble staying with her dance moves, but by the third time, it was a no brainer. I'm very pleased with the video and would recommend it to anyone that wants to add some variety and excitment to their personal workout routine.

This review is from: Miracle of Life: Pregnancy Workout (DVD)

I just rented this video from Netflix and found that it was exactly what I was looking for in a pregnancy workout video. I am six months pregnant and a lot of the pregnancy workout videos are VERY boring! This one has you moving around on your feet with a wide variety of activities.

The only caution I give is that if you're not familiar with some workout moves such as the "grapevine", you might find this workout hard to follow at first.
