Summary: One of the better prenatal workouts, but a bit boring
Review: I really like Leisa Hart. I think that she is very motivating. However, I think that the workout gets a bit boring after a while. During the aerobics and yoga workouts, the same routine is done over and over and over again. I like the routine, but it just gets boring.I really like the Kathy Smith Pregnancy Workout the best. Kathy really varies each aerobics routine. My only complaint with Kathy's Video is that she has this 'rap' song session where you just watch the pregnant moms give a little 'rap'. I just skip this 'cutsie' section.

Summary: Feel Energized, Healthy, and Fit for Pregnancy and Labor
Review: I purchased this DVD before I even read the reviews, and I have to say, the reviews here are very accurate. I found this to be a good workout where I wasn't going overboard like I was with my Jane Fonda regular non-pregnancy workout tapes (don't get me wrong -- her workouts are great, but not for a pregnant woman). Leisa Harts workout includes 20 minutes of light salsa dancing, followed by 20 minutes of Yoga, 8 minutes of getting-ready-for-labor routine, and 6 minutes of stretching. Now, I am not sure if this is really considered yoga. However, she does call this segment a 20 minute yoga "fat-burn" routine. And let me tell you -- I think that I sweated more during this segment than I did in the salsa routine! I really felt like this section was more of a strength-training workout using your body's own resistance with a little yoga thrown in where you really concentrate on your breathing through this 20 minute yoga routine. In other words -- I felt great! I really felt that I was working my abs and legs, yet still concentrating on deep breathing through the exercises. Ok -- what everyone really wants to know is what gripes do I have about this DVD. Well, the only gripe that I have is the yoga routine. I like the routine, don't get me wrong. However, you will find that it is a bit repetitious. You are doing alot of the same moves over and over. But when I really thought about it, there aren't a whole lot of moves that a pregnant woman can do (i.e you can't do a lot of floor work because of your belly, and your center of gravity is--well--off-centered, so you have to be careful!) In summary, GET THIS VIDEO/DVD! Worth the money! And keeping in shape before you go into labor will make you labor a HECK of a lot easier on you!!! So go out and get it!!

Summary: great cardio, toning, and stretch
Review: really enjoyed the amount of cardio with the salsa and the general fitness style of yoga toning, it was great to hear someone talk without being annoying with their yoga babble. Hart is great at modifying and giving fun tips, I really like how my body feels after doing her videos(I love her MBC Yoga also). I have 4 months to go, and know she will be teaching me all the way through. I bought her Postnatal videos and watched them and am excited about doing those to recover my shape after delivery. Hart is the best, I wish I could hug her she has been so important to me and my family because she leads by example and I feel so positive and energized after doing her FitMama and MBC Yoga workouts, she is superb!

Summary: Totally uplifting for body and mind
Review: I love this exercise video, I started exercising in my 4th month of pregnancy and Fitmamma was my first video. I loved it I could easily do it without getting tired or falling behind. Leisa is so good with people you feel like she is right there with you. And she slides in comments like "you should feel good about your growing body..." she makes you feel healthy not fat, as we tend to feel while pregnant. The yoga part was great because you hardly feel like your exercising but it gets your heart rate up. I also liked the Yoga because it's all just moves no crazy mumbo jumbo about breathing being your life force stuff. I'm now in my 8th month of pregnancy and still doing it. The best plus for me right now is that it really does ease back pain. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because the stretching part could be longer. I would also recommend Kathy Smith Pregnancy workout.

Summary: Enjoyed it from first trimester to last!
Review: I bought this tape when I was 3 months pregnant, and I'm still using it at 37 weeks! It's a simple, easy to follow workout that can be modified to your fitness level. The moves are straightforward, and Leisa Hart does a nice job of explaining safety during pregnancy as well as proper form. In my first trimester, I put a lot more "umph" into it -- made my movements bigger and wider, stretched more deeply, went further into the squats, etc. Now that I'm in my 36th week, I've had to modify it and follow the tape more closely to the exertion Leisa Hart is showing (she's in her 3rd trimester on the tape). All in all, a really good tape. I was pretty fit before I got pregnant, and I enjoyed doing the workout with my own modifications. Each section is about 20 minutes, and by this time in my pregnancy, that's about all I can handle at a time. I really like the yoga fat burn and the stretching. If you're buying this early in your pregnancy, go ahead and make modifications on your own depending on your fitness level. I even used light weights earlier in my pregnancy while doing the aerobic part. I'm looking forward to getting the post-natal workout. I like Leisa Hart's style, her instruction, and her attitude (she's cheery without being cheesy in the tape). Definately recommend it!

Summary: not perfect but reccommended
Review: I am now 8 months pregnant and have been using the video since i was 3 months, 2-4 times a week. Overall, i've been very glad to have it. Still, after the first few times, i did find it to be kind of slow, as have other reviewers. I worked out a fair bit before I was pregnant (running and pilates, 3 times a week) and i especially find the aerobics/salsa dance section to be not quite enough. For sure, while pregnant, you do have to be especially careful to not overdo it. But, even at 8 months, i still find i have to do extra during the aerobics part to get my heartrate up to a decent (though still safe) level. The combined kegel and stomach exercises are very good. The yoga section is *not* full blown yoga, but it seems to be safe enough and it does give your butt and legs a pretty good workout. Again, however, after the first few run-throughs, i added extra reps because i found she was moving too slowly. I also add more stretching at the end. Overall, i do reccommend the tape--it's not perfect, but the best that i've found out there (and i've tried a fair number). You just have to think a bit about how you can adapt it to your own level. The instructor is exellent. She doesn't talk too much, her cueing is excellent, and her attitude is positive and perky, but not at all annoying.

Summary: Good Fun workout
Review: I love the Salsa dance, Stretching and Ease Labor sections. The Yoga Burning part is strange because it doesn't look like a yoga practise to me. These workouts are easy to follow but make me sweat a little. Overall, this is a good prenatal workout.
