Preg DVDS revisited....

[chefkate]

I've been at Collage's website looking at preg WO's.
I almost hate to admit it but some of them look good!

Anybody have PreggiBellies, the Leisa Hart one, or the 10min. Solution Pilates?

I'm thinking about ab workouts when I can't lay flat anymore.

Any feedback???

I have the Preggie Bellies DVD and I would recommend it. The abs section is about 7 minutes long and the technique is good. I use the principles from it to modify Cathe's AB workouts when Cathe does moves that aren't suitable during pregnancy. I find that doing the ab exercises about 3 times a weeks keeps away any back soreness.

I also like the cardio section when I feel like having an easier workout than Cathe. It's all performed on the ball and is medium intensity compared to Cathe's workouts which I still do on my other workout days.

I am 37 weeks pregnant now with my second and I have used the Preggie Bellies DVD from around the six month mark in both pregnancies.

Hope that helps.

Yes, that helps a ton! Thank you very much!
I think I will get this one.

Kate,

Congratulations on Baby Number 3. How old are your other 2 children?

I took the advice from another post when I was pregnant last year.
It was from a woman who had three kids and was in great shape.
She attributed to using the " Perfect Pregnancy Workout."
The instructor is a professional acrobat who is also 8 months
along. I bought and used from my first trimester until the end.
I found it effective, highly actually. I am an advanced exerciser
but it did challenge me. The weight came off quicker than my last
pregnancy and my stomach muscles were in great shape. I had
tried all the other DVD'S. You name it I have. I also have to say
not too many people liked Leisa Hart's Fit Mama but I loved the
20 minute Yoga section. It actually felt great and helped me stay
toned.
Good Luck!!!

Suzanne,
Gina will be 6 on Saturday
Isabel will be 4 in May
My girls are getting OLD!!!

Thanks so much for the feedback. I'm a DVD junkie so I will get that one too. Thanks for the tip on Leisa Hart too. Can't say I really care for her other stuff too much but if you like the yoga stuff in there I'll likely cave!! I don't think Collage has the PPW - I'll check out Amazon.

Thanks again!
