Pilates in Pregnancy

Summary: Safe, effective Pilates routine for pregnancy
Review: As a physical therapist who deals with pregnant women in pain every day, I can definitely recommend THIS routine for pregnancy. Traditional Pilates tends to be extremely stressful on loose pelvic joints (that occur in pregnancy). The pace is steady and calming, but the exercises are challenging. I especially like that the video was made in consultation with UK physiotherapists. I recommend it to my pregnant patients, and use the routine myself outside of pregnancy. Two thumbs up!

Summary: Well paced and easy to follow
Review: As a women who practices Pilates outside of Pregnancy I was impressed to find a DVD that adapted it so well for during pregnancy. Careful attention is paid to explaining the moves and ensuring that they are executed properly.
I was impressed and re-assured that the instructor was herself heavily pregnant. Two big thumbs up!

Summary: my baby loves it
Review: Having done this exercise whilst I was pregnant, which I enjoyed very much... I now put it on and my baby lies still on the playmat next to me when he hears the instructors voice! Worth every cent! The pace is slow and calm, which was helpful when I was bigger and finding it slower to move positions. Now it helps me to relax when the baby has a sleep.

The pelvic floor reminders are excellent throughout, as these often get forgotten in exercise videos.

I'd describe is as a bsic but effective workout, that is achievable even when you energy is low. I really recommend this one.

Summary: Slow Slow Slow
Review: One admission. I am 16 weeks into my pregnancy with a sore bump, so I did the Later Pregnancy Workout. The exercises are fine. They are mild. My biggest issue is that the workout stops each time the moves change and the instructor discusses what's coming next. So, the pace is very slow. I may come to appreciate it during my 8th month, but today I will place the DVD in the back of my rotation.
