User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Great!
This video is great. It encompasses exercises specifically for pregnant women, but also exercises to keep your body toned that are appropriate during pregnancy.
5 Stars Highly recommended
I really enjoy this DVD. I’ve been doing Pilates for quite a few years now, and this DVD is refreshing. I’ve been waking up sore lately and these
exercises have been making me feel better. The stretching and exercises are so relaxing, yet you still feel like you’re working out. My legs are actually firm and fit. This DVD really helps me relax myself and my muscles. I look forward to doing this every time.
4 Stars Great Beginner Workout
I am really glad that I ordered this dvd. I have never done any pilates before this. I was very pleased with the way she was really clear in her instructions. It’s easy to understand and follow. I wasn’t very active before my pregnancy, due to a surgery, but I can keep up with it and I truly do have more energy afterwards. I recommend this product, especially to anyone who has never done pilates before…you’ll enjoy it.
4 Stars Great moves to Combat Pregnancy Pains
I bought two pregancy videos—this one and The Perfect Pregnancy Workout. Perfect Pregancy is my main stay because I feel like it really works me out. This one is much more low key and easier to do, and I do this video about once or twice a week. I like it because I feel like it has good moves to help my back and hips to not hurt. Negatives are that it’s not difficult enough for it to be my everyday workout. It has modifications for your third trimester. I’ve never done Pilates before, but I found it pretty easy to pick up. You need a small ball, a dowel (which I took apart my broom and used the stick portion), and 2-3 pound weights. Good video but better as a secondary workout.
2 Stars Let’s just say I won’t be doing it again.
This DVD is not awful, but I certainly won’t be doing it again. I agree with the other reviewers that it was boring, and not a great workout. I hardly even feel stretched out, much less worked out. The arm sequence was probably my favorite, but even that was both boring and too short.
Finally, she asks those of us in our third trimester to watch “Cassie and I” (not the real name). No - it’s Cassie and ME. The bad grammar was actually really distracting. Maybe it’s just because I’m hormonal, but it drove me nuts.

2 Stars Boring
I found the tape quite boring. It is too expensive for the benefit you get. The exercises are too difficult, no music, I was disappointed for the money I paid it was not what I was looking for, no positive energy, the tempo is too slow.

1 Star Out-Dated
This series is out-dated. Some of the information is good- nutrition and exercise, but most is obsolete. Today, things in our hospitals are done very different than in the video. I was looking for an educational video, and this is NOT it.
