Leisa Hart's FitMama - Prenatal Workout

Rating:
Summary: very fun and exciting
Review: I was so excited to find Leisa Hart's prenatal workout DVD. With my first pregnancy, I started walking and did whatever prenatal workout I could, not liking any of them. I am 4 months into my second pregnancy, and FITMAMA has been a lifesaver! Not only do I not mind doing it, but it's actually FUN! The DVD allows you to pick and choose what type of workout you want to do ... from the fat-burning yoga one day to the Salsa dance (my absolute favorite). The Salsa is easy to learn and the music perfect, not some disco club loud stuff. Plus, there are lots of prenatal stretches and relaxation techniques. I really like how fun and upbeat Leisa Hart is... not at all boring or "meditative" like some. This is a GREAT prenatal workout worthy of FIVE STARS, I loved it!

Summary: Boring
Review: I used to dance salsa and was expecting fun workout.(Salsa at the beginnig does sound like a nice warm up.) But the moves were not salsa moves and quite boring. I could not get into dancing mood because even music was wrong.
The Yoga part was also boring - the same move over and over again.
I am thinking of returning the DVD and buying something else instead.

Summary: Good workout, but a little boring?
Review: This DVD is a good way to get your heart rate up, but I can't help thinking it's a little boring. There aren't too many moves and they get repetitive. I like it better than Kathy Smith's pregnancy workout (although I highly recommend her post-pregnancy abs/buns/legs workout!). I have found that alternating it with Shiva Rea's Yoga DVD helps keep things interesting.

Summary: LOVE IT!!!! great baby shower gift idea!!!
Review: I LOVE FITMAMA!!!! Being pregnant is such a blessing, and it is so good to see how FITMAMA has helped soooo many others stay fit and healthy during pregnancy, so it is a blessing at how i found out about this video. My doctor told to try to stay in shape as much as I could, and if i wanted to do something at home that she said her patients were telling her how good this video was, so she watched it and has been referrring it to everyone. It's just plain good fun, the salsa dancing gets me moving and grooving and not huffing and puffing, its a great dance that is easy, and the yoga toning hits the muscles that will need to be ready for delivery. Leisa Hart is so pleasant and full of love, she is an godsend. I love this video, and the dvd version with the cute photo gallery, and I think this is a wonderful baby shower gift, anyone pregnant should have it.

Summary: Great workout for pregnant lady with prosthetic knee!
Review: I am 33 years old on my first pregnancy. I have many health challenges including a prosthetic knee and 2 herniated discs in my back. Frequently it is difficult for me to find a workout that will make me sweat without giving me significant pain along with that sweat. THIS VIDEO MAKES ME SWEAT WITHOUT PAIN!! Hurrah! I am very grateful to have found it on Amazon.com. It is pleasant to watch as well, because all the ladies working out are pregnant and the instructor has a huge belly and gets around like, well, like a fitness instructor! It is very encouraging, and fun. I love this video :)

Summary: Good workout
Review: I'm super picky about teachers and classes and this has been a pretty good workout. You have to ignore some of the cutsy stuff but she's got other pregnant women backing her up doing modifications. I always broke a good sweat during the power yoga moves. I think her instruction was good and could work for a beginner. It's not too boring for a seasoned exercise woman. I've got a few prenatal DVDs, so it's nice to mix them up a bit. I also recommend ZenMama.

Summary: Great DVD!
Review: I used to work out at the gym 2-3 times a week before I became pregnant. I maintained my workout while pregnant with this DVD at least 4-5 times a week... I really enjoyed it! I only gained 14 pounds during my pregnancy and back to my pre-pregnancy weight within a matter of 2 weeks. I would recommend this workout to anyone (especially in their 2nd and 3rd trimester).
