BORING!!!!, March 6, 2007
This review is from: Pregnancy Fitness: Workout for Mommy & Me (DVD)
I was really disappointed with this video. The only positive is that it does give a good arm workout (my arms were sore the next day), which is the only reason I gave it 2 stars instead of 1. Oh, and the video is broken into two 15-minute workouts that can be done separately. Specific negatives:
--It looks like a home video shot at the local gym. The setting is literally an aerobic room at a gym. There is no music at all. And the instructor is really blah. All this adds up to very boring!
--Most of the exercises are not interactive with baby. Rather, baby sits on your belly during crunches or on your lap while you use free weights to do arm exercises.
--The ab exercises are really repetitive.
I have other mom & baby dvds and I know I am not likely to use this one again. The other videos I have involve a lot more involvement of baby in the exercises (e.g., lifting him for arm exercises, doing "airplane" with him on my legs for abs) which my son loves - it makes me look forward to working out with him and that motivates me. He was really bored and restless during this dvd. The other videos I've used also have gorgeous outdoor settings and music - just overall more interesting to look at. I definitely do not recommend this one.

Boring, April 3, 2007
This review is from: Pregnancy Fitness: Workout for Mommy & Me (DVD)
This video was not fun at all for me or baby. There was no music, and it seems like she just taped it in her basement. I agree that it was not interactive with the baby at all.

Workout for Mommy and Ben, March 24, 2006
This review is from: Pregnancy Fitness: Workout for Mommy & Me (DVD)
I have been doing the abdominal workout with my son, Benjamin and we really enjoy it a lot. Ben thinks it's funny that mommy is making funny faces while doing those crunches.
I love how Kira and her daughter work out in a simple, home like setting. The workout looks simple but believe me with a baby sitting on your belly/legs it can be really challenging. My son is 4 months old now and the length of the abdominal workout is just right for him he would probably get fussy if it was any longer (and probably mommy too:))
We haven't really tried the upper body excercises with the weights but they also look like a good workout.
