New Intensisty Series?

[Storm2]

Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone who is expecting has done any of the new workouts? I am 24 weeks pregnant and I pre-ordered the new videos and am anxious to watch them and hopefully use them
I would imagine that Imax2 would be out of the question but I am thinking maybe the pyramid workouts would be ok to use with lighter weights. What do you think?
Thank you

I'll definitely be trying most if not all of the weight work but I'll have to see with the cardio. The other day I felt so winded I could only do a Buns of Steel step video. I laughed at that video prepregnancy but figured I'd keep it just in case. Well, the jokes on me. It was a challenge to just get through that. Oh well, I hope I was just having a bad day!

I don't think I'll purposefully use light weights. I'll just continue to use whatever challenges me.

Hi Storm2!

I have also order the videos and was hoping I would be able to do some of them for a little while longer myself. I am at 18 weeks.

Previously, I asked Cathe this:

"Do you think a pregnant experienced Cathe fan will be able to do this new series? Perhaps with modifications? Will I have to pause the vcr a lot?"

And she replied:

"I would not recommend the Intensity Series to a pregnant exerciser. It would be too much work figuring out so many modifications. But the series will be there for you to help get back into pre-pregnancy shape after you deliver.
Keep enjoying your pregnancy...its such a short time of your life to perform such a huge miracle"

Hi - I read somewhere on else on this forum that Cathe does not recommend using the new tapes during pregnancy. I have mine and am dying to try them but I guess I'll wait. She said it'd be a great post pregnancy work out to get back in shape.

Thanks everyone for your replies I received my intensity videos a couple of weeks ago and I have tried Cardio & Weights, Muscle Endurance, and the two pyramid tapes. So far they seem to be ok for me to do with modifications. I don't do the ab work or the stability ball work. I use a 6" inch step instead of 8" for Cardio & Weights and I have just lightened my weights for the others. I have previewed Bootcamp and Imax 2 and I will definitely be waiting until after delivery to try those. They look tough!!
