Sara Holliday's Postnatal Total Body Toning Workout DVD (2007) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love this workout because it is fast-paced but easy to follow. Sometimes I don't have a full hour to dedicate to exercising. In a half hour, I can work all areas of my body, get my heart pumping and feel great. The beach in the background is also nice.

Fabulously Fit Moms: New Mom Workout Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a mom of a 3 month old I found the workout itself decent though not very specialized for new moms. Its a very basic workout, nothing new to be found here. I wish she would show actual mothers with babies doing the workout as she uses the medicine ball to demonstrate throughout. There is little to no instruction on proper form and I question some of the ab work for a new mother, there is a lot of twisting and crunches which i don't think a "new" mother should be doing as it could lead to worsening diastasis. There are much better videos out there. I suggest Erin Obriens Postnatal Workout.

Fabulously Fit Moms: Total Body Workout Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Unlike the previous review, this review is for the actual workout dvd listed. My baby is ~8 months old, and while I have all but the last 10 lbs off(my body hangs onto the last 10 lbs after all 3 of my kids, until I'm done nursing them), I am always on the look-out for quick, no-nonsense workouts that are easy to follow along with, to fit into my busy days. I am happy to say, this one definitely fits the bill.
The workout contains a warm-up, 3 cardio-toning segments, a cool-down & stretches and is ~30 minutes in length. Recommended weights for this workout are 3-5 lbs weights. I would suggest 3 lbs for those who haven't used weights before or haven't used them in awhile and 5 lbs for those who are used to lifting weights. The first cardio/toning segment combines kickboxing cardio w/short segments of toning(ie. lower body exercises such as plies, squats, and lunges w/upper body using weights at the same time to get your heartrate up). The second segment combines Latin style dance cardio(think mambos, v-steps & hip flares) also combined w/similar upper & lower body toning. The last cardio segment is classic/athletic cardio w/toning. Very easy to follow along to, cueing is off in a couple spots but the moves are basic and not hard to get back on track. My heartrate really got up, and I was sweating so much by the end.
Jennifer Nicole Lee is living proof that it is possible to get back in shape after having kids. Very friendly personality, not too much chattiness, but funny at times(it's important to have fun). She says a few times about that we're making the most of our time and in the kickboxing segment she mentions that Rocky needs to watch out! lol This Fabulously Fit: Total Body Workout has made it to my must-have list & will never leave my house (and that's saying something for the huge vidiot i am).
you can find a 1 minute preview clip at collagevideo.com (do a title search)
There is also a bonus segment on the dvd (~10-12 minutes) that's part of her soon-to-be-released workout(next month) Fabulously Fit Moms: Lower Body Burn - Featuring Jennifer Nicole Lee. If the 10 minute clip(warm-up + standing work) is any indicator on how the rest of the workout is(my legs were jell-o), it'll be a must-have also.

Complete Pregnancy Fitness with Erin O'Brien (2006) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I normally cannot stand work out videos but knew I should do something besides walking to keep my fitness level up. I was pleasantly surprised by this video.
1. Erin O'Brien is not irritatingly peppy, but realistic and down to earth. There is very little excess dialogue, which I appreciated. She imparts just the right amount of info and throws in a few extras about physiology and anatomy, which I appreciated. Plus there are water and pee breaks! ( which I really needed)
2. The workout is probably best suited for someone who has done a few classes before and has at least a moderate level of fitness. But I suppose a beginner could simply watch it a few times before attempting if it were a bit too fast paced for them. She adds modifications for times when the heart rate is too high, which is nice. I thought at first it would be too easy for me, but oops. It got me! (in a good way, of course)
3. The workout is complete, I thought, especially given it's timeframe of only 40 minutes. That includes a short stretching session afterwards, which made me feel really good.
4. The production value was great -judicious amount of camera angle changes and fades, making it easy to copy her body mechanics. Simple set-an average, well lit living room. All the props she used were standard furniture. I had to make some small adaptations but all were easily accomplished.
5. Best of all-unobtrusive music, used mostly to provide rhythm. No trendy production, no silly distracting lyrics, just background percussion oriented music at a nice soft volume (Although I really dislike the music that plays for the menu, but that doesn't matter)
OVERALL: I highly recommend this work out video and look forward to using the post-natal DVD as well.

Buff Moms: Beyond Baby Body Workout (2006) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the Buff Moms book after having my 2nd daughter three months ago. But the book was difficult to follow if I wanted to have any sort of a flow to my workout, so I ordered the DVD and I'm glad that I did. The workouts are broken down into 4 10-minute segments, easy to do and quick! I'm trying to do at least one of the 10-minute workouts a day and really do believe that in that short amount of time I can make a difference in my post-baby body. The author has really done her homework and knows what she's talking about, but I only know this because I also read her book. The instructor is easy to follow and pleasant and there's even a modified workout that you can follow.

Yoga Pregnancy: Pre and Post Natal Workouts Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The prenatal workout here is perfect for a pregnant woman. The yoga is moderately paced, not as slow as the Crunch Yoga Mama DVD, for example. The instructor, Heather Seiniger, has a soothing manner and keeps the class moving along nicely. There is a good, logical flow between the postures.
The sequencing is approximately as follows:
10 minutes of warm-ups: side stretch, gentle twist, cat/cow, plank, downward dog, child's pose
Squats and prenatal sun salutes
Tree pose
Standing poses: warrior II, extended side angle
More squats
Side stretch, gentle twist and savasana (final relaxation)
All the squatting is supposed to be great for the birth muscles and also your lower back. I always feel calm and refreshed after I do this DVD.

Lindsay Brin's Postnatal Boot Camp with Moms Into Fitness Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)With so many postnatal DVDs on the market, it was hard to know which one to select. I chose this one because it offered so much variety ... so many ways to mix and match so as not to get bored with a routine. There are hours worth of routines, so you can change it up quite easily. And if you prefer a set routine, she also offers four of those, of varying lengths.
Let me tell you, this is one really great workout! I do the 28-minute routines while my kids are napping and I feel as exhausted afterward as with my 1-hour StrollerFit class on the weekends. Thank goodness she has Amy on there to provide the example for beginners like myself. I'm huffing and puffing even to the beginner workout! (Note to beginners: Keep a towel and glass of water handy ... you'll need both!) What I really like about this DVD is that you don't have to be particularly coordinated. I tend to be "aerobics-routine-challenged," but even I can catch on to the routine. However, I think postnatal moms who are already in great shape and who are very coordinated would still get a good workout, because there are advanced and intermediate models to follow on the DVD.
I also like the fact that she doesn't talk down to you as new moms. The routine isn't "dummied down" in any way to make it easy on you. If you are serious about getting the weight off and regaining a normal shape, this is a serious workout. She still reminds you to follow the beginner model if you need to, but doesn't make this workout any easier than a normal exercise DVD.
Highly recommend this one!
