Author: Guest This is a somewhat tough post natal work out for those of us who are not athletes. It works most of the major muscles in a relatively short time, and includes your baby in about 50% of the activities. You will want to wait until your baby is a few months old, and also until your abdominal muscles feel strong enough to do pilates type moves WHILE holding on to your baby. The instructor is clear in her instructions, and obviously a caring mom.
Author: Guest This DVD is way too short. It only gives a few exercises that you could have figured out without the help of the tape. I enjoy the Mommy and Me workout more. It has more exercises and you actually feel like your getting a workout. This DVD was uneffective.
Author: Guest Good program for including your baby in your workout. Not for beginners...there's an assumption that you know pilate techniques...advanced poses used, only - beginner/intermediate poses not shown.
Author: Guest I just received this DVD and did it with my baby for the first time this morning. Yes, it's short and doesn't have any chapters (which is annoying). But the short length of the workout is actually a positive for me because it's not so intimidating that I don't even want to start. Also, I love the fact that it really involves the baby and considers his needs as well as the mom's. My baby is 10 weeks old and really liked it. Of course, if you are familiar with the exercises already, I suppose you could figure out on your own how to involve the baby, but personally I find it comforting to have a video devoted to my needs as a new mom. Some of the moves are really hard, but fortunately there are alternative positions for us beginners (they're hard to see though--just a small inset in the corner of the screen). I'm really looking forward to doing this workout many times with my baby.
Author: Guest This is a good workout for those of you who wants to try pilates and doesn't already have a pilates DVD. I bought this postnatal pilates DVD thinking it will be different than my regular pilates DVD. However, the exercises are the same as the ones on my regular pilates except it has one set of squats and one set of exercise to work your arms. The workout involves the baby by putting the baby on your lap during exercises like the hundreds and rollups. You work your arm by lifting the baby up and down. The squats are done by holding the baby close to your body. The baby is put aside for part the workout. This DVD is a waste of money for me because I could've used my regular pilates DVD and put my baby on my lap.
