Customer Reviews for Infantastic BABY-REPS! Strength & Toning Postnatal Workout
Just ok. Turn on the radio, put baby in your arms, and dance.
Just like any first time mom, I tried to get my hands on what ever stuff I could. This DVD is ok but all you need to do is turn on any music with a beat and simply hold your baby and bop around your living room. Do some lunges and squats to the beat, even skipa little, maybe a spin and a dip, what ever gets your little one excited and trust me, it's enough to raise your heart rate too. This DVD is cute but really, just do it yourself. (but be gentle with the baby PLEASE!!)Infantastic BABY-REPS! Strength & Toning Postnatal Workout
Worth the Wait, Even Though it Was Broken!
I also waited months to receive this DVD. And while it is great, and I use it every other day, there are three sections where it automatically goes back to the main menu, right in the middle of your workout! This happens with my Dance Baby Dance DVD by Infantastic as well! It is really annoying to stop working out, put the baby down, and fast forward to where you left off. So I'm torn. On the one hand I feel like I am getting stronger everyday, and my baby adores both videos. But on the other hand, I waited so long only to find that there is something is obviously wrong with the company if they put out two bad DVDs. What are the chances that I would just happen to get the only 2 defective copies they made? I didn't even order them at the same time. Also, I have an extensive library of workout DVDs and I have never had this problem. So I guess the message is "Buyer Beware!"Infantastic BABY-REPS! Strength & Toning Postnatal Workout
Never available - don't bother
I had the same problem as everyone else in getting any of the Infantastic dvds from Amazon. I waited over two months, kept getting reassured that they were still coming, and then discovered one day that they had simply canceled my order without letting me know. Not only did no one ever offer to check with the company directly for the source of the problem or actual anticipated wait itme, but Amazon continues to post these items on their web site with a delivery date of 7-11 days, which is at best a misrepresentation, and at worst a complete lie because they are well aware that they can't provide the product at all at this point.
I don't really care whose fault it is that the product is never available - Amazon needs to stop posting these dvds for purchase until they are confident the orders can be filled in the time noted.Infantastic BABY-REPS! Strength & Toning Postnatal Workout
Amazon does not really carry this item
I agree with the reviewer below who asserts that this item is always on back-order. After waiting for this item for several weeks already, I was today told by Amazon that there would be an additional one-month delay. I have canceled my order and ordered these videos directly from Infantastic.Infantastic BABY-REPS! Strength & Toning Postnatal Workout
Well done and fun to do with your baby
This is a very nice mommy-baby workout DVD emphasizing strength training. The exercises are divided into three types: prone (pushups, plank positions), reclining (sit ups), and standing (squats, upper body strength training). A short stretch segment with relaxing music follows the exercise sections. Each exercise is demonstrated first without the baby and then again with a baby. You can do the exercises with or without your baby depending on your preference or if your baby decides he/she doesn't feel like "working out" one day (just use dumbbells instead). One full set of 8 reps (with baby) is shown for each exercise, you can do extra reps by repeating the chapter on the DVD or playing through the whole workout more than once. If you go to the menu, you can choose which exercises you want to do. Each exercise is listed separately, which is a really great feature if you have to stop the program mid-way through, or if you just don't like one particular move. The music is very nice peaceful classical piano, strings, and guitar, which goes nicely with the pace of the exercises (this is not a cardio video). You can do the prone exercises with a baby of any age because the baby is on the floor. The other two sets of exercises require that the baby has head control. I am able to do them with my 14-week-old baby, but I think they will be even better when my baby is stronger and has more control. A few of the exercises are definitely meant to be done with bigger babies. There is also a nice bonus feature on the DVD, a slow dance called "Maybe Baby" where you can dance with your baby. It is an excerpt from the "Dance-Baby-Dance!" DVD, which I don't have (yet). It's a very sweet song that is wonderful to dance with your baby to. The instructor, Rachel Van Castle, is very good, well spoken, and very fit. But you can see more "normal" sized mammas doing the exercises, which is a nice change of pace from most exercise videos.Infantastic BABY-REPS! Strength & Toning Postnatal Workout
