5.0 out of 5 stars Great Video!, July 16, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Perfect Postnatal Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)

When I first decided to order the Perfect Postnatal Workout video, I was worried that I might not be able to keep up with a former trapeze artist. However, I was interested in the fact that the baby is incorporated into the workout since I was having difficulty completing other tapes. I kept having to stop what I was doing to attend to my daughter. Going for a walk was a great option, but not always possible because of the weather.
The first time I did the workout my daughter was about 10 weeks old. On the very first exercise, she laughed out loud through the entire movement! At that point I thought that it didn't matter if it was excrutiatingly hard, that my baby's laughter was motivation enought. To my delight, I found the exercises physically challenging yet easy to do.
Since consistently exercising with the video for the last month, I finally feel that my "pregnancy muscles" are toning up and I feel so much stronger.
Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful video that not only increases my physical fitness, but allows me to have fun with my baby at the same time!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing workout and bonding experience. Keep trying it!, September 25, 2009

This review is from: The Perfect Postnatal Workout (DVD)

When my baby was six weeks old I tried it for the first time. I thought it was WAAAY too easy and he didn't like it at all. I turned it off when he started crying.

I tried it again when he was nine weeks old. He seemed ok with it and was getting heavy enough to make me feel like I was doing something. It wasn't terribly strenuous, but I figured some exercise was better than none so I did it from time to time.

Now my baby is 4 months old and fifteen pounds . Holy frijole! What a workout! The best part of all is that HE LOVES IT! It's like an amusement park ride for him. He smiles and laughs the whole time and just as he starts to get bored with one movement, it's on to a new one and he's laughing again. It's incredibly motivating to keep on going when I look at his face and I can feel "worked" when I'm done.
One thing that surprised me was how much he enjoys the parts when he is on the floor and I exercise over him. I thought that he would only enjoy the lifting exercises, but the "kiss the baby" pushups are one of his favorite parts. He also gets to workout with me because he gets so excited that he kicks his legs snd swings his arms!

My advice to you would be to get this DVD early and try it. If it doesn't work for you or your baby the first time, wait a few weeks and try again. If it's STILL not good, wait a bit more and try again. It's like everything else with a baby- you can't make any hard and fast rules about what they like because they change so fast. Don't miss out on the experience, though. It's the one thing that I can do that gets him to laugh EVERY TIME. Take the time to be persistent. it's definitely worth it!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars My son is 10 months old...not too late., October 24, 2006

I wish I had this DVD as soon as my son was born. I lost my pregnancy weight within three weeks of his birth from nursing yet I was overweight before I was pregnant so I had more to lose. My legs got smaller but my stomach was different and bigger as it is after having a baby. Grant is now 10 months old and I decided to do something about it. I was terribly out of shape and this video is wonderful. It is a great starter point. It is difficult starting now because my son is 27 pounds. It's a lot of weight to start with. I would suggest this video shortly after your child is born. It would be much easier to start with a 10 pound baby. My son just smiles and loves doing this with me. If he gets antsy he crawls away for awhile...but he always comes back for more.
