Summary: Absolutely amazing!
Review: I decided to buy this DVD as soon as I found out that I was pregnant with my third child. I had never done pilates before but am now addicted to it thanks to this video. I had more energy this time around, and I gained 12 pounds less than I did with my first 2 pregnancies--- I attribute completely to doing this exercise program. It was easy to follow and the results were amazing!!!! I am getting ready to start the follow- up DVD, Post-Natal Pilates. I can't wait!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Video
Review: I find this video to be very good. It definitely shows you the proper exercises and form for your particular stage of pregnancy. The only thing that I dislike is that the segments are only 20 minutes long. I would like to have a longer workout, so I end up doing the same segment twice which can get kind of boring. It is a very good video though....

Summary: Short and too Quick
Review: I found this Dvd to be not particularly helpful. It is divided into 3 separate trimester workouts, each of which is only about 10 minutes long. A 10 minute work out is not of much use to me. In addition, I thought the instructor went too quickly through each exercise, without much instruction on what to focus on. I enjoyed using a Pilates for Pregnancy book instead. I get a 30 minute work out using my book and I find it easier to read the instructions than to watch someone else zipping through the exercises.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: this is the best
Review: I got this as a gift and used in during all 3 trimesters. It truly helped me stay in shape during my pregnancy. Even now, a few weeks after delivery, I can tell that I'm in better shape than I was after my first child was born(when I hadn't used this excercis video then). I recommend it highly!!

Summary: Prenatal Pilates Disappointment
Review: I had just found out I was pregnant and wanted to get a couple of DVDs to do at home to replace my non-prenatal DVDs. I had never done pilates before and after seeing the reviews thought that this would be a good DVD to try. I only did the DVD once and that was enough. My biggest complaint is that the instructor did not take the time to explain the proceedures up front so that you could learn the move and then do the exercise. I found this so extremely frustrating that I just stopped trying. Also, I found the tone/ambiance of the DVD to be somber to the point of being boring.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I LOVED THIS DVD!
Review: I just had my baby, and I used Prenatal Pilates from my 4th month on. To be honest, I thought it would be too easy. I am so glad I stuck with it! The bigger I got, the harder it was. It saved my back in my 3rd trimester. I have been told my labor was really short for a first pregnancy. I just gave it to my pregnant sister-in-law because she knew how much I loved it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not challenging enough
Review: I know I'm pregnant and need to take it easy, but come on! This is too easy. I burn more calories and tone more muscle turning over in my sleep.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Back In Action
Review: I love this workout - After having my baby, I was unsure of how i would ever get back in shape - it's so difficult to find time to do anything, let alone exercise..but, Prenatal Pilates did it for me. I am back in shape and feel great...thank you for designing this workout!

Summary: No menu
Review: I only watched this DVD once! The video is split up into three sections. One for first, second and third trimesters. You are only supposed to watch the section that is designed for your stage in pregnancy for obvious saftey reasons. Mine did not have a menu. I had to watch the entire thing if I wanted to watch the third section. Who has time for that? I also would not recommend it for anyone who is just begining exercise. It was a waste of $25!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: rewind and fast forward -not my idea of a workout
Review: I spent more time stoping to do the excercise after instruction because they don't do the repetition with you. So they explain (some seemingly scary for prenatal)exercise, then go to the transition for the next excercise instead of doing the repeition. Along with not being very up beat or interesting instructors I can't say that it was very motivating. Denise Austin - please put out a DVD for Pilates!
