User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great overall pregnancy workout!
I ordered these DVDs near the end of my 1st trimester. I am a long time gym junkie, but I wanted a workout that would keep me in shape throughout my pregnancy without being too strenuous. So many of the DVDs I saw were yoga only, and I knew I wanted some aerobics and weight lifting, too. These DVDs give you all of it! Plus, there is great variety of workouts to keep you motivated. 2 aerobic/weight lifting workouts & 1 yoga workout per DVD. Also, you get a DVD for after baby. Lindsay is not always in perfect form and the set/recording is not the best I’ve seen, BUT she works every part of your body so that you know you’re getting a great workout. If you like interval training (aerobics w/weight training) or are looking for more than just yoga - this is the workout for you!

5 Stars Great DVDS
I purchased this set when I was 6 weeks along in my second pregnancy. I used them every morning thoughout my pregnancy. I liked that I wasn’t doing the same routine every day for 9 months. The change each Trimester was nice and kept me motivated. The only thing I would have liked to have been different is that it would have been nice to have had a mother-to-be in each workout following along with Lindsay.

5 Stars Great variety
I loved this set of workout DVDs. There is a lot of variety, and the exercises are appropriate for all stages of your pregnancy and for the post partum stages of getting back into shape. The workouts are to the point, and you accomplish a lot in a minimal amount of time. The variety helps prevent boredom. Highly recommend to any busy mom or mom-to-be.

1 Star Wouldn’t recommend
I exercise on a daily basis and had been working out using the FIRM DVDs for quite some time. I purchased the set once I found out I was expecting. I really did not enjoy the format. The instructor annoyed me. I haven’t used the DVD set because of the format and instructor.

4 Stars Good workout for women who work
I order this series of 4 videos at the very beginning of my second trimeseter and did the first trimester video for a week or two and liked it very much. It gets you moving but not so much that you are winded or exhausted after ward. I have moved onto the second trimester video and I like that as well. When I come home from work, I’m tired and the thought of excercising is the last thing on my mind, but when I remind myself that the video is only 25 minutes it gives me the extra motivation to pop it in and work out. I wind up doing the full 25 minutes of yoga afterward too and I feel more energized after doing both. It gives me a second wind. The only thing I dont like about the video is she tends to move a bit quickly for me, but I wasnt in terrific shape when I started the series. Thats the other thing I like, that I jumped into doing the videos after a VERY lazy first trimester and it wasnt difficult at all. I like Lindsay, she is cute but not overly so and she is dressed like I am at home - in comfortable workout gear - not cropped sportsbra and shorts which would just remind me that I am not going to have a flat tummy for some time! The images of the pregnant women doing the workout are a bit tiny for me and I’d like to see her doing the workout side by

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.

This is my second pregnancy and I am definitely out of shape. This video makes me feel like I can get exercise back into my life. I felt great after doing just one workout. It was very relaxing and the stretches were just right for being pregnant. the 30 minute routine is also a wonderful thing, because its easy to fit into my schedule. I highly recommend this video!

4 Stars yoga fit pregnencyit

5 Stars Buy this!
This is the only video that I really loved doing while I was pregnate. It is easy to follow and not too difficult for a beginner or intermediate. I plan on using it again for the next one or loaning it out to other moms in the area.

5 Stars The best prenatal yoga!
This is a wonderful DVD for pre-natal stretching, and back & leg relief. It’s perfect for beginners. It flows at a relaxing pace and the poses are very comfortable and easy to do. This routine will leave you in a very peaceful state.

I love this video!!! Im 8 months now & got the video about 1 1/2 ago, along with pre-natal yoga classes I do once a week, I do this video 2-3 times in addition, and find it extremely helpful in loosening up tight muscles and especially the hips!!! Its only 30 minutes which I like esp when you just need a quick relaxation and stretch! I recommend it for all prego moms out there !

5 Stars I can’t help it, I love Denise Austin
Denise Austin is perpetually spunky and happy and cute. I actually caught myself SMILING throughout the whole DVD because she was telling me to. Most of the pregnancy fitness DVDs on the market are about calming down and relaxing… yoga, etc. It’s nice to actually stand up and do some cardio.

The level of exercise is DEFINITELY moderate, but you can increase it or decrease it depending on the size of the movements you make.

I appreciate that the routines are somewhat easier than normal DVDs - and my pregnancy brain appreciates that, too. I also enjoy that there is a weight-training section.

I’d say buy it! Especially for that price.

5 Stars Great Video
I love this video. It is great for firming and toning while pregnant and can be used in addition to a moderate exercise routine.

4 Stars Great work out for all stages of pregnacy
You will use this video! I like it because it is low impact so I do it on the days I’m feeling tired too. It’s a great all over work out that will make you feel refreshed and energized.

3 Stars OK
The video is pretty good. I have a couple others that give me a much better work out. It was inexpensive and I would buy again.

5 Stars GREAT workout for pregnancy!!
I LOVE this video! The workout is not to hard, but it will definately get your heart pumping. Its not to long either, so theres no getting bored or worn out before you complete it. I have recommended this to all my pregnant friends!
