I’m pregnant and used to a pretty average workout level. I thought this was a real legit workout video, but it looks like it was filmed in this lady’s dimly lit living room. You don’t even do a full rep of one workout before switching and there is heavy use of furniture like couches rather than actual workout equipment. Also there is only one option. I thought there would be different workouts for different trimester. If you are an exercise beginner or in your 3rd trimester and trying to take it easy, this might work for you, but I was left feeling disappointed.

I love these workouts! Simple and effective. As a mom of many little ones they are easy enough to do with the kids around, but yet are strengthening and working me well in short period of time. Besides when you can workout at home it makes it easier to find the time since it doesn’t involve having to load kids in the car and go out to the gym. I enjoy the online access to the workouts alot but having a DVD is great since I live in an area where internet can be spotty, so this is a great back up and option for lousy internet areas!

My favorite pregnancy workout so far. I’m still in the first trimenster. The video is somewhat low budget and not easy, but is realistic. It’s the perfect living room workout. I’m not in fantastic shape and was able to keep up pretty well. I only did the 40 minute workout, which had good variety and did not get dull. This will be my go to routine for a while.

Update: I was sore the following day. Maybe take it easy the first couple times and if you have hard floors, use a mat for the floor routine. A rug over hardwood didn’t cut it. That is where I’m feeling it most. I still think it’s a great workout. Good luck!

This is a great workout, especially for women who did more strenuous workouts before pregnancy. I used to do P90X and Insanity workouts before I was pregnant and found that this workout brings a good amount of intensity, while still using movements that are safe for pregnant women. I’ve also read several pregnancy books and noticed that Erin incorporates a lot of the exercises that are recommened for preparation of labor, which is great. It does seem like a fairly low-budget production, as some other reviewers have mentioned, but the workout is a good one, so I don’t mind. There are a couple times she seems to spazz out a little bit, but I think it’s kind of funny… She reminds me of Cheri Oteri from Saturday Night Live in the late 90s. Overall, I would definitely recommend this video to anyone trying to stay in shape while pregnant.

I bought this DVD going into my 3rd trimester. Up until then I had been doing prenatal yoga and still going to the gym. I just started feeling like I wasn’t getting as much out of them as I wanted. At the gym I was doing light weights and cardio, and third trimester yoga is very limiting. I started feeling like I was completely losing all of my muscle tone. The last I wanted to feel, on top of everything else going on in my body, was soft and out of shape. This DVD targets all the areas I was concerned about (biceps, triceps and thighs). It also gets your heart rate up without causing you to feel like you are over-doing it. Another bonus is that you don’t have to buy equipment along with the dvd. She uses her coffee table, a chair and the wall. I personally love this DVD and I am so glad that I found it. I am in my eight month and I still have so much energy and sleep really well and I definately feel like this video helps me attain that.
