Summary: loved this tape, very powerful
Review: I'm not usually one to rant and rave about the quality of something, but I've had my FitMama video for a few months now and it is absolutely been a godsend with my pregnancy. I feel as good as I could feel being fat and pregnant, but the funny thing is I'm not as fat as I was with my first 4 kids. Leisa is very powerful, she's almost a female Tony Robbins she is so encouraging. She's not annoying or over sassy, she's just good at what she does. I was so happy to find this video, I've used her Buns of Steel videos from years ago, but had no idea what happened to her and I see, she's been busy starting a family and staying in great shape. This was a great video and I wish I could personally thank her, she's made this pregnancy seem so much easier with all of her tips and pointers, and the incredible workout that I like doing, which is almost an oxymoron, how many people really like working out? Ok, i don't hate working out, but it can be a drag at times. FitMama is always a refreshing workout, I fel so good after doing the stretching portions. God bless America, and people who protect us! And God bless people who stay in shape and make great videos, thanks Leisa!

Summary: my ob/gyn LOVED this workout, told me to do it also
Review: It's kinda funny, my ob/gyn has the same due date as me, and she absolutely loved this workout video. She goes to the gym and is a health nut, and she's been on me to do something for my body(which is too large to start with) because I'm getting too sedentary, so she bought some extra copies of FITMAMA and let me use one to give a try. Well, I gave hers back and bought my own, I loved it, it's exactly what the doctor ordered! That sounds like a cliche, but it's true. THis is the perfect pregnancy workout for me, I'd probably do it after my baby too, unless there's a postnatal FitMama video. I had never used videos beofre, but I will now, as I can do it anytime. Plus, this instructor was really good. I went to her website leisahart.com and see that she is a fitness celeb, she's got 25 other videos to choose from, which I will definitely try. I went ahead and got her MBC Yoga videos, as they sound like something I could use since they also helped her. THis FitMama video is the bomb, I loved it, it was great advice from my doc, and I'm sure others will want to get it.

Summary: FitMama is the perfect prenatal workout video
Review: FitMama is the perfect prenatal workout video. I go to a health club twice a week and take prenatal classes, but they are nothing compared to this workout, plus FitMama is cheaper. I adore Leisa Hart and how she handles herself on tv, and she truly is a fitness guru. She taught some great cardio and strenght moves in FitMama and did some incredible tip sharing. The stretch and relaxation is so good, I think I'll use after i have my baby. This is a 5 * Star video!

Summary: best prenatal video by far
Review: Leisa Hart is the best video instructor ever, and as a pregnant woman, she delivers, no pun intended! THis is the best exercise video for pregnant women, period! SHe is a great instructor and the routine was impeccable. I loved everything about it and have actually bought several extra for our "Mom's Club" events as a raffle item, it will be so appreciated. Hart is encouraging and does a wonderful job of safety going over the do's and don't of exercise while pregnant, and she teaches a super dance class with salsa music and then tones you during a yoga fat burn. I loved this video more than any of my other videos, prenatal or not. This was a classic!

Summary: Can you believe it, a NEW pregnancy workout video!
Review: I LOVE this video!! I did it for the first time last night and I feel it in *all* the right places this morning!! It's long, 60 minutes, but it's so worth it! The first segment has "salsa aerobics", the second segment has fat-burning yoga, followed by a short relaxation segment. She also reminds you to do 10 sets of 10 Kegels everyday. You don't need any fancy equipment, just a good comfortable pair of athletic shoes for the aerobics, then a non-slip mat for the yoga, then a pillow and towel for stretching! I just love this video!

Summary: DVD version is awesome, great pic's of Leisa and family
Review: i loved the VHS, but I just my DVD FitMama and absolutely loved it...their are two bonus routines and a photo gallery of Leisa and her baby and her husband, they look like Ken and Barbie, a special all American family. I loved the menu options and really really enjoyed the workouts of FitMama...it's the bomb!

Summary: nice to see a NEW pregnancy workout that is so good
Review: I was extremly happy to get this video and see that it is as good as the reviews are. Most importantly, it's a new video, unlike so many of the pregnancy videos I've bought(and sold in garage sales or ebay). Leisa Hart was the perfect picture of pregnancy. She was beautiful to watch, graceful in her moves, and spunky in her salsa dance...I hope I can move like that when I'm in my last month carrying my lil baby. The other videos I've used just were boring, old, or not well thought out. It was apparent that Hart knew what she was doing. Since she has starred in 25 exercise videos, she knows how to interact on camera, which so many video instructors cannot do. I loved her style and personality, but most importantly i liked doing the exercises. Working out to a video has to be fun or else you'll never do it again, and Hart made this fun by mixing it up with some salsa dance and a yoga toning set that was great for my problem areas, and then her labor tips and the stretching was so good, my body needed it. I loved this, and can't say enough about how good it is to get a quality workout that was made recently...I can't wait to see how see looks in her postnatal video, I bet she'll look great, that little Buns of Steel woman! lol :-)

Summary: great workout, DVD extras are excellent
Review: I loved my FitMama vhs workout, and now that I have the DVD, I absolutely loved it... The DVD extras were great, there were two bonus workouts that are labor and delivery specific, with toning moves that are easy and great to do. Leisa's family is shown in the photo gallery(so cute!), and it was really neat seeing the behind the scenes pictures(shooting a video looks like alot of work, especially for a nine month pregnant mommy like Leisa was at the time of the shooting). I love working out to DVD, as you can do the Salsa or the Yoga Fat Burn, but I can start at the Yoga without having to fast forward. This DVD is better than the VHS, but it is awesome too. I can't wait for the FitMama Postnatal, as it will be ready right when I have my baby. This FITMAMA will be a favorite of mine forever.

Summary: perfect workout combination
Review: i have two kids that are 2 and 5, so my workout time while pregnant has to be ideal...I found FitMama to be the perfect workout combination, as I get some fun cardio, some great toning, and some relaxing stretching. It was the best prenatal workout I've ever done and I really liked it, only wish I had it before I had my first two kids, it would have been so helpful as a first time mom...oh well, it's a great workout and I really enjoyed it.
