Leisa Hart: FitMama - Postnatal Workout

Rating:
Summary: "Fitmama" is great for new moms!
Review: I have already recommended this DVD to several of my friends. Leisa Hart is personable and warm. The workout is split into ten minute segments, making it easier for a new (and tired) mom to fit in a workout around baby's schedule. Leisa also gives you three levels of difficulty, so you can work your way up from simple to challenging. I was able to start using this video at 6 weeks postpartum.(My obstetrician thought it a particularly safe and effective workout.) I find it enjoyable, so that the workout is over before I know it! The cardio dance segments are fun and the pilates really challenge my abs. After discovering Leisa's postnatal workout, I really regret not using her prenatal DVD.

Summary: ehhh. it's ok
Review: i have been somewhat into working out for a few years but this video, even though im pregnant, is just too boring. it didnt really get my heart rate going, i wasnt at all into, it went by really slow and im going to buy kathy smiths older video because i have heard better things about it.

Summary: Very disappointed
Review: The idea behind this program is good, and I was really hoping for a good video, but I have to say that I was unfortunately really let down. The exercises are not very challenging, the instruction is not very clear, and the video itself is extremely short (especially the "Fitmama & Me" part, where you actually workout with your baby -- what should get the most time I think).
If you collect exercise tapes, this one can't hurt -- but if you're really looking for an effective post-pregnancy workout, unfortunately this video does not deliver. I'm putting mine on e-bay and looking for other videos.

Summary: great workouts, loved this as much as FitMamaPrenatal
Review: this is a great workout to slowly start getting back into action. I went to the doc and was told I could begin working out five weeks after delivery and i am doing really good three months later, and i owe it all to Leisa Hart. The FitMama Postnatal workout is prefectly paced, Hart is great at telling to watch your body and take it slow, she is precise and fun and motivating. I loved the funcky fat burn, and really felt good after each workout. i am now doing her Gym IN A Box dvd and love it, it is fabulous.....i highly recommend getting the FitMama Postnatal and go at your own pace, itf its not enought, get something else, but i think you'll love this.

Summary: I love this workout!
Review: This workout is great. I had a baby almost 4 months ago, and I started to work out to get rid of the baby weight about a month ago. I bought this and have used it for about 3 weeks, and I have already seen a huge improvement in my overall tone and shape. My abs and lower body are firming up, and my pants are starting to loosen around my waist. Leisa Hart makes everything easy to understand. She explains everything clearly and it doesn't take any time at all to get the hang of the exercises. I love the pilates portion, which is a great challenge after having a c-section. I don't think it's too easy. It's perfectly paced and laid out for those who are out of shape from having a baby.
