5 Stars Fantastic Video
I love this video. It is something that I don’t mind doing everyday. I haven’t gotten sick of it yet. I feel like it is working the muscles that need to be worked and stretches what needs to be stretched. It gets my heart rate up and sometimes I break a light sweat. The instructor is great. It is also very easy to modify the workout to your comfort level, or pregnancy stage. I’d recommend this video highly to any pregnant woman.

5 Stars Buffs Moms Workout DVD
I ordered Buffs Mom’s to Be at the end of my first trimester and it has been great! I have had a very sick pregnancy, with severe vomiting and nausea, but couldn’t stand not working out as I have always been an active person. I think that this workout is terrific to get some weight training in. A person might want to walk in addition to keep your heart rate up on the days you don’t do the dvd or even on days you do depending on your fitness level. Overall though, I think that this dvd is very, very helpful and simple to do compared to some! :0)

5 Stars Great DVD for Preggos who want to stay in shape!
I was a gym rat before I got pregnant. My obsession is lifting weights. Earlier this year I had a miscarriage (WHICH HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MY WORKING OUT) so when we successfully got pregnant again, my hubby forbade me to go to the gym and lift. I explained that working out during pregnancy is healthy, my midwife allowed it, yada yada…but he wasn’t and still isn’t trying to hear it.

So, I ordered this DVD to show him that it is OK to be preggers and lift weights. Well, let me tell ya, this DVD gave me a great cardio & strength training workout. The plank/leg work is awesome.

Even hubby gives it the thumbs up. He calls it the “Baby Got Back” video. LOL!

3 Stars Just ok
To me, this workout is just ok. I haven’t been working out for the first four month of my pregnancy, because I had problems with bleeding, but my doctor finally gave me the ok to exercise again. I shopped around for a pregnancy workout DVD, and I ended up buying this one and “The Perfect Pregnancy Workout” based on the good reviews for both. I hate those workout DVD’s that make you follow silly dance steps and have an overly perky instructor. I was looking for something to sculpt and tone my muscles all over. Well, I tried this DVD today, and I was not blown away. It starts with a warm up section called “Jump Start Stretching” which is not too bad. Then, it moves into the “Cardio Breeze and Total Body Toning” segment. That’s where the problems started. Silly dance moves and perky comments from the instructor! Just what I hate. Also, even though I worked up a sweat, I really didn’t feel like my muscles were getting toned at all. And, I felt really silly hopping around in my front room and was hoping the neighbors weren’t looking in. The workout closes with the “Re-energizing Floor Work and Flexibility.” This section wasn’t too bad. One good thing about this DVD is the background looks very inviting and cheerful. I also liked that they had two girls showing the modifications for the second and third trimester, although the girl doing the third trimester modifications doesn’t really move a lot and seems slightly uncoordinated at times. I really have mixed feelings about this workout. I might go back to it very late in my third trimester, when I need a more modified workout. For now, I will continue to use “The Perfect Pregnancy Workout” which is great.

4 Stars My “Easy” Pregnancy Workout
I like this DVD for the first trimester, because it was easy. Sometimes though, it was too easy. I think I would do this one on my lazy days, just to say I worked out. It was low impact, and enjoyable. There is one flaw that I only noticed once I was in my third trimester– the third trimester “variations” are really just not doing the exercise being performed. The model is seen just walking in place or barely doing anything as her “variation” and personally, I could do all the moves even through the third trimester with ease.

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.
