5 Stars Love it!
This is my favorite workout in my third trimester. It keeps me feeling good. I attribute this workout and the others I do to the reason I am still so mobile and able to do things almost like I usually do. It completely loosens everything up. Say goodbye to backaches and all those other pregnancy aches. I really like the prenatal modification for sun salutations, it is much more effective than the versions on my other workouts. This is a little slow for first and second tri if you usually exercise. If you want a more challenging 1st and 2nd tri workout try Kira Landgolf’s Total Body Tone or Erin O’Brian’s Prenatal Fitness Fix. I learned the hard way to stick with prenatal workouts in pregnancy, regardless of how good you may feel. I tore a muscle from overdoing (tricked by the relaxin I guess) during a regular workout. It took over a month to heal. I haven’t tried the postnatal workout yet, I’ll add a review when I get to that point. This DVD was very worth it. Other good prenatal workouts include Shiva Rea’s prenatal yoga and Crunch Yoga Mama. They are good quality, I used them during both of my pregnancies. If you are an experienced exerciser, they are really best for third tri. Try the ones I recommended above for the earlier days or just go for brisk walks (Leslie Sansone’s walking workouts have been great too!)
5 Stars Great, quick yoga workout
I did yoga for stretching and relaxation fairly often before becoming pregnant. Once my doctor discouraged my regular yoga class, I decided to try a prenatal video. This is one of several I’ve tried and by far my favorite. It is only 30 minutes but still feels like a good yoga workout - you feel relaxed, flexible and centered at the end, not sweaty or exhausted. The queing is good and I find Heather’s voice relaxing. There’s also a postnatal workout on the dvd that I plan to put to use in a few months.
2 Stars Not Great
I bought this in my 3rd trimester and only did it once. I am a big workout DVD fan but this just didn’t do it for me. It was boring and I found it to be of poor quality and a little too “fruity” for my liking.

5 Stars Finally!
I’m so glad to see a workout made specifically for moms unlike alot of others that are just generic moves. I love how motivating (and tough) Teddi is and it keeps me going.
5 Stars My fourth pregnancy and what a difference this workout makes
I was always a workout enthusiast but during my first 3 pregnancies at ages 24 , 25,and 32 I put exercise on hold and practiced lots of self- indulgence making it a very long road to shed the excessive pounds of those pregnancies. I had a lot of backaches and swelling and overall fatigue during those pregnancies so decided that this pregnancy at the ripe age of 39 would have to be more fitness and nutrition oriented. I started by buying Erin O’ Brians workout which is good but not really intense enough as I was doing Thai kickboxing, running , and lifting weights before pregnancy. I have a great prenatal video by Rocky but I needed a more intense cardio and strength workout. Hot Mamas looked good so I ordered it. It is a really thorough and professional workout.Teddi’s instructions are precise and I find myself still absorbing her instructions even after doing the workout many times. It’s like having a personal trainer in your home. I also like that the exercises are repeated in sets of three and the belly breathing and stretching exercises after the strength workout are also really thorough.It is a long workout at an hour and a half but there is also a shorter one included. I do this workout 2 or 3 times a week and supplement it with the Erin O Brian and yoga DVD’s. I can say that I feel better during this pregnancy than I did at 24. My backaches and bloating don’t bother me and I haven’t become a dimpled mass of cellulite yet!
5 Stars WOW!
This video is like no other. If you want to really bounce back after your baby, doing this workout during your pregnancy will really help you. This is a great way to stay in shape while pregnant. Fun & exhilarating for all moms!
5 Stars Pregnant women can do an ab workout
I’ve been training with Teddi every week for over two years now and this DVD is as effective as having Teddi train you in your own home. The shorter workout is great for days when you just want to squeeze a little something into your day; the tutorial helps you understand what movements you can expect in the workout and the other women that are participating in the workout make it look doable. All women, no matter what stage in life can benefit from this DVD.
