Summary: BEST Pregnancy video!
Review: I just had my fourth baby last year, and it seems I have bought 20+ videos to use during pregnancy the past 12 years, and this FITMAMA video is no doubt, hands down, the BEST pregnancy video ever! Leisa Hart is adorable, her belly is so big! She's weeks away from delivery when filming this and is full of positive energy and cues a great workout. The pace is great, I did the workour all 3 trimesters and could follow the modifications from the talent who were either first, second or third trimester. It was great, I always had someone to watch to make sure I was doing it right. Leisa Hart is the best instructor, and this workout is a great MUST HAVE prenatal tool for any mom, whether its your first baby or your fourth like me. All of the reviews are so positive about Leisa, and its probably because she is so good and the results are so good. I quickly was doing her FitMama Postnatal video(I did a review for it also) and it's a Must Have video also. Try it, you'll love it!

Summary: Fantastic Workout
Review: I started working out to this video when I was six months pregnant. This was around the time that I started feeling really tired and unmotivated to exercise. After using this video 3-4 times a week, I could really see an improvement in my energy level and flexibility. I love the salsa and yoga parts and I never get bored with it. I would recommend this workout to other pregant women that want to stay in shape during their pregancy and feel great. I am now 8 months along, and still doing the video and plan to do it up until I deliver!!!!

Summary: This is a GREAT video
Review: When I was 5 months pregnant, I went on Amazon.com and checked out the reviews for all the prenatal workout videos. Normally, I don't like to exercise to videos, but in this case (pregnancy) I needed some direction. After reading the reviews I ordered it. I am 8 1/2 months pregnant now and I actually look forward to working out 3 days a week to the video. The Salsa dancing part I still have to watch, because of the music, but I memorized the yoga routine and can watch anything on TV while I do it. I feel so much better, physically, than I did with my first pregnancy. Although I am gaining the same amount of weight this time, I feel more fit and definitely ready for labor and delivery and hopefully, a quick post-partum bounce back. It also helps tremendously with the inevitable aches ands pains associated with pregnancy, especially hips and back.

Summary: my OB/GYN recommended this to me, she loved it, as do I
Review: My OB/GYN had a baby last year and used Leisa Hart's FITMAMA Prenatal tape, and when she told me that I knew it had to be good. She was right, this was a blessing to me. I felt great throughout my entire pregnancy and followed Leisa's instructions. Her energy and positive reinforcement was great, she mad eme feel so proud of my ever expanding body. I felt like a sexy little chigetamama, so fit for my darling hubbie to enjoy. I mean it, my husband was very into it and helped alot because this pregnancy I was in better shape and took control of the situation, by doing Leisa's yoga I was more flexible and my cardio strenght was excellent by dancing away with some esy to learn Sals movements. I also did the Postnatal videos for a while and now am enjoying Leisa's FitToTheCore and GymInABox videos, they are great workouts, I am a big fan of her instruction and have several women rotating workouts with me as we all get more fit, feeling like FITMAMA's!!! :-)

Summary: great cardio, loved Leisa's choreography
Review: After reading so many great reviews, i bought FitMama and have found it to be absolutely perfect for me. I just had to had my own review because I was curious and rather annoyed at some peoples reviews that have said the salsa cardio routine was repetive. Well, I don't think so at all. i think that it is thorough, that Leisa safely shows you how to complete the move without being leftfooted or unbalanced, she explains it great and then puts it together. it's only 20 minutes of cardio, so how can someone expect so many different moves. Fitmama is ideal for a pregnant woman to get and keep the heart rate at a safe level. I found the entire program to be a blessing, I love that Leisa Hart produced this video. I adored her in the Buns of Steel videos, and really enjoy doing the toning and labor prep sections in Fitmama. I recommend this video to all of my girlfriends that are having babies. I would think that 99% of the people that try this will love it, I sure did!

Summary: Boring and repetitive
Review: I read all the good reviews about the DVD and decided to try it out. I wanted to do some cardio exercises so I went straight to the salsa section. I was very disappointed because they repeated the same routine over and over again. It was very boring! I have always done step aerobics before I was pregnant and I feel that the routine is what makes the exercise fun. I didn't even want to watch this DVD again. It's a waste of money. I would not recommend this to anyone.

Summary: Must have for pregnant exercisers
Review: I love this workout. It's super easy to follow and I always feel great after using it. Two, twenty minute sessions also make it easy to fit a quick workout in on days when you you're low on time or energy.

Summary: Excellent for active, pregnant women!
Review: I was very active (astanga yoga, running, hiking, xc skiing, etc) before becoming pregnant with my first child this past Fall. Being pg, I felt unable to continue my normal activities, which was very frustrating. I'm now 6 months, and this tape is the answer to my prayers. It works all the places that were going soft, like arms and butt. It also stretches and strengthens precisely the ligaments and muscles that clench up from your expanding uterus. In addition, it strengthens your back (very important!) to help support your growing front. In additon, Leisa Hart gives great cues, is uplifting and positive, and it's fun to watch her at 8 months being so active. The tape also includes breathing, kegels, and abdomen exercises that help you prepare specifically for birth. The stomach exercises are also safe for preventing or healing the splitting of the stomach muscles (which often happens in pregnancy). Also, the steps are sufficiently complex to hold your interest - yet there is enough repetition so that you don't have to think too hard or become frustrated. Overall, I highly recommend this tape for pregnant women, especially in the second and third trimesters. Keep moving, girls!

Summary: Fun, easy to follow, gets results!
Review: Fit Mama is a fun, safe and effective workout routine! I started doing this workout at the end of my first trimester - I wish I had started sooner. I'm in my third trimester and still going strong! The music is lively, the steps are easy to follow and the intensity level is appropriate for pregnant women of all fitness levels. Even on days when I am tired, I look forward to this workout. It leaves me feeling energized. Leisa Hart's cueing makes the routine simple to follow. Her energy is contagious! I look forward to doing the Post Natal routine after I deliver.

Summary: Good workout video for pregnant women.
Review: I really enjoyed this video. Pregnant I find myself a little more uncoordinated than usual so I like that the video repeats the same moves. I did not find that I was over worked after the workout either. If I wanted to do less one day I would either do the salsa workout or the yoga workout. If I wanted more I would do both workouts. I loved the labor and delivery prep and the stretch and relax prenatal workout. This video may not be one of the videos for women who worked out everyday prior to becoming pregnant, but it is perfect for less fit women or women who only workout occasionally. I think it is a great workout and I find that after I do the workout I fell better.
