1.0 out of 5 stars Boring and short, January 30, 2006

This review is from: Pilates for Life: Prenatal & Postnatal (DVD)

Boy was I disappointed with this DVD. It is barely 20 minutes and is not much of a workout no matter what trimester you are in. If you never worked out before your pregnancy then this might be good for you, but if you worked out regularly don't even bother with this one. It is just some stretching & neither of the women are even pregnant. I will not use this DVD as a regular part of my prenatal workout routine.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok, but not enough on its own, March 28, 2006

This review is from: Pilates for Life: Prenatal & Postnatal (DVD)

So, I did the prenatal portion of this dvd this morning. Other reviewers are correct - it is not a great workout. It IS a pretty good stretch. 20 minutes long, the two women go through a series of poses and moves (some of which feel more like yoga than pilates) to help loosen you up and (supposedly) strengthen your core.

Would I like it better if the women were actually pregnant? ABSOLUTELY! I found it a bit annoying to be 7 months pregnant, big bellied, and following these skinny women. One woman was doing beginner modifications, the other did more intermediate moves.

It was not challenging, and I followed it by doing [b]Crunch: YogaMama[/b], but I think I could have used it as a good stretch before or after doing some cardio, too. And, there are some days when 20 minutes might be just right.

So, I would say, it is an ok dvd, but not enough of a workout to really stand alone.

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful!, February 10, 2006

This appears to be a very low budget, poorly produced workout dvd.
The workout itself is sooooo slow and boring, and I don't think most active, pregnant women would get much benefit from it.

It is probably best suited for someone who has little or no workout history and is just looking for some stretching.
