Customer Reviews for Pregnancy Fitness: Cardio & Core
so so
I really like Kira Langolf in this... but have to say that it was only good for my WORST pregnant days when I was so nauseous I couldn't do anything else. It was really too easy and very low intensity. This would be better than nothing though or a good place to start for someone that doesn't exercise.Pregnancy Fitness: Cardio & Core
What a waste of time and money!
First of all, I'll say that although I worked out occasionally pre-pregnancy, I was by no means a marathon runner. I smoked, and when I did work out it wasn't high impact. Nevertheless, I wanted something that would get my heart pumping but not make me pass out. This DVD looked like a good pick, but BOY was I wrong. First of all, it looks like something that a couple of teenagers filmed for a high school health class project. Literally, it's filmed with a camcorder on a golf course. Who cares about film quality though--right? Well it only gets worse. This doesn't give you any workout whatsoever, I didn't give up until about 25 minutes when my heartrate wasn't elevated at all, wasn't sweating, basically it felt like I had done nothing. I get a better workout lifting chips from the bag to my mouth.
I reccomend Denise Austin's Fit and Firm Pregnancy. It's well worth the money, has trimester adjusted strength workouts and a great cardio workout as well as postnatal core workouts.Pregnancy Fitness: Cardio & Core
For beginners
This program is pretty lame, but I think some of the very negative reviews are a little unfair, as this is clearly for women who are either new to exercise or out of shape -and of course pregnant on top of that. It basically consists of very simple foot movements combined with simple arm waving. Nothing fancy and no props needed (except maybe a chair or something for balance on stretches). The women in the video have what I would call normal bodies- that is, they are not very thin, and the lead woman appears to be pregnant. I myself am overweight though not obese and I haven't got much exercise since the birth of my 1st child 18mos ago. I really only use this dvd when I feel too lazy to pay attention to the more complicated moves in other videos (or to gather up necessary pillows, towels, etc). The only thing that might be a problem for some uncoordinated people like me is the way they switch moves after only a few repetitions, but probably not an issue for most. So, bottom line, it is not going to be interesting or challenging for most people, but if it gets someone up and moving who otherwise would not be, then it's not all bad. Oh, and it's a lot cheaper than some others.Pregnancy Fitness: Cardio & Core
Not quite a workout
I understand that you need to "take it easy" exercising while you are pregnant. I wouldn't even consider this a workout. I never felt like I was receiving any benefit doing this tape. The instructor is bearable and not too obnoxious, but I just stuck to walking and swimming. The price is reasonable so it might be worth the money to some people, it just wasn't for me.Pregnancy Fitness: Cardio & Core
Loved it
This DVD is aerobics, which I usually cant stand, but the instructor doesnt do a bad job. It gets you going and it great for days when you cant get it and walk. Nothing in it is terribly complicated and it has a somewhat relaxed pace. It sweeps you along and the tape is finished before you realize it. Great for the days you know you need to do something but dont feel like it.Pregnancy Fitness: Cardio & Core
