 Great DVD! July 29, 2008
I haven't worked out in a few months and this was a great way to get back on track. She shows you variations for different levels for all the exercises. It's easy to follow and a great workout. By looking at her body during the video it keeps you motivated!
Pregnant women can be fit too July 28, 2008
This is my first pregnancy and I'm currently in my second trimester. I like that these exercises are Dr approved and these exercises have been modified for pregnant women, but that they don't treat us like such "delicate flowers". I'm not a gym rat, but I did enjoy keeping active before getting pregnant (walking hills, jogging, hiking, pilates, yoga, strength training).These exercises are hard enough that I feel like I'm getting an actual workout. I also like that Karyne usually presents 2 versions of the exercise so that you can do the beginner or intermediate version based on your fitness level. I definitely plan on getting as much exercise as possible while I still feel up to it. We'll see how I feel about exercise in the 3rd trimester - it might just be yoga and walking at that point. :)
 Good Workout Video July 21, 2008
If I could give this workout video 3 1/2 stars, I would. The video definitely will make you sweat, but some of the exercises made me a little bit nervous. I consider myself a somewhat advanced exerciser -- prior to my pregnancy, I regularly went to the gym and lifted weights, ran anywhere from 3-9 miles on the treadmill and did strength training classes -- but I was afraid to do some of the exercises in this video as demonstrated for the advanced exerciser, as they seemed a little bit dangerous for joints (specifically the lunges and deep squats). Some of the exercises were also a little bit different from what I am used to (less traditional), and when I did these exercises, I wasn't 100% sure what muscles they were supposed to be working. However, on a positive note, this video made me sweat, it has a great abdominals sections and the arm exercises are very good. Please keep in mind that if you want to do the "advanced" or "intermediate" versions of the exercises, you will need 3-5 pound weights and a small step (for the "step ups").
I also purchased the Prenatal Fitness Fix video by Erin O'Brien, and I liked that video better. The movements were easier to do, and the instruction was better (instructor focused a lot on what muscle groups were being worked).
Great Strength Training Workout! July 21, 2008
I love this workout. It's perfect. She has a soothing voice and is not irritating at all. She simply guides you through the workout making you feel strong and calm. I am a beginner although have strength trained extensively in the past and I felt great but really "worked out" afterwards. Highly recommended!!
 SO-SO July 18, 2008
The video is definetally a challenge for beginners. She doesn't really tell you what is going on next or what props you will need she just starts doing them, that is very frustrating when you haven't done this video many times. I have tried many work out videos before but this is my first pregnancy video. Hopefully I will try more because I am not very satisfied with this one. I mean it is a good work out and gets me sweating but the instructor and instructions could be much better.
