Summary: AWFUL!
Review: I bought this video because I wanted to add some variety to my other pregnancy workouts. I have the Leisa Hart Pregnancy workout and The Crunch Yoga Mama both of which I love. This was fairly new and I have a Crunch workout led by Gloria Quinlan called "Latin Blaster" which I have always enjoyed.First off the speed of aerobics in this workout paralells the intensity of my regular videos which means I was not able to do the whole thing. It left me dizzy, out of breath and miserable. The description on the back of the tape states there is a warmup (15 minutes), aerobic section (20 minutes), and cool down (15 minutes) that is a lie. The warmup is about 7 minutes long, aerobics is 30 minutes long, PLUS an additional 10 minutes weight lifting section (which you dont know is coming and are unprepared for) and the cool down is about 5 minutes. The cool down is completely insufficient it doesnt stretch your muscles at all nearly what they need. Plus the aerobics section is very hard. I used to workout 2-3 hours a day before pregnancy now I am able to do an hour. This tape still left me unable to do it because the intensity is too much for anyone but an athlete in their pregnancy. All I have to say is the production is poor, its unsafe and misleading to read the back. Dont waste your money, dont waste your time and either get the other two I reccomended or just take a nice walk!

Summary: Great workout for the person who knows a little workout move
Review: I just rented this video from Netflix and found that it was exactly what I was looking for in a pregnancy workout video. I am six months pregnant and a lot of the pregnancy workout videos are VERY boring! This one has you moving around on your feet with a wide variety of activities.
The only caution I give is that if you're not familiar with some workout moves such as the "grapevine", you might find this workout hard to follow at first.

Summary: HILARIOUS
Review: I kept laughing throughout this workout. The models' clothes were so outdated - 1980s - yet it was filmed in 2003. They all wore so much makeup they looked like clowns. Gloria Quinlin is darling, though. The exercises were not very effective. The dance aerobic section was good for getting the heart rate up, but the camera work was poor and made it sometimes hard to follow. The graphics of babies, etc. that floated across the screen at intervals were terrible. Worst of all, and most hilarious, was the very end, when the camera focused on Gloria's pretty face, and you are supposed to be "resting." Gradually you watch Gloria's eyes fill with tears and they spill down on her cheeks, and that is the end of the video. BARF precious barf!

Summary: What I was looking for
Review: I really enjoy the intensity of this workout. I think it's completely possible to keep up with. The warm-up and cool down section are about 7 minutes each. The cardio section is 20 minutes not the 30 minutes in stated in another review. I also have Leisa Hart's pregnancy workout in which I love the dance moves, but it gets really repetitive. Gloria Quinlan puts a lot of variety in the moves so that you don't get bored. I was also pleased that it had a weights section. The weight-lifting segment is intense enough to help you maintain muscle tone without being unsafe for you and your baby.

Summary: Just What I Needed
Review: I've been using this workout video since my sixth month of pregnancy. I found that it was just what I needed to add a little variety to my work out. She starts with a segment of warming up, then follows with three segments of aerobics and dance moves, and a great cool down. There's also a couple segments that focus on toning arms, legs, and abdominals (all of which are completly safe for you and the baby). The first couple times I used it I was having trouble staying with her dance moves, but by the third time, it was a no brainer. I'm very pleased with the video and would recommend it to anyone that wants to add some variety and excitment to their personal workout routine.
