5 Stars Fun exercises
This is a good pregnancy video especially if you are not overly athletic. It is not overly challenging, but it includes the Salsa, Yoga and stretches. The instructor seems very knowledgable and is very positive and encouraging. It’s fun to do the Salsa and I look forward to it. The yoga is very repetitive, but it’s sort of nice because this way you do not have to think a lot about what you are doing. It does work out the hips and legs very well. It also includes labor preparation exercies and stretches. It is divided into 4 different sections with the exercises, so you can easily pick and choose which ones you want to do. It also includes an instructional section. I was not aware of this when I bought it, but it includes 2 dvds. The second one is for after you have the baby. I’m 7 months pregnant, I do this twice a week and combine it with The Perfect Pregnancy Workout and I feel great. Good luck with your pregnancy!
3 Stars A Bit Too Bubbly and Repetitive for A Tired Pregnant Mom
If you are a frequent user of (non-pregnancy) workout videos, then this may be right up your alley - Leisa Hart’s bubbly voice, the perky music, and the general workout flow seem like cookie-cutter exercise video material to me. Unfortunately for me, I found the style to be terribly grating, and not at all comfortable. Yes, I worked up a sweat doing exercises that were probably “baby-safe,” but I just couldn’t get excited about popping this in the DVD player and working out…it seemed like more of a chore than a joy. On the other hand, The Perfect Pregnancy Workout vol. 1 was my absolute favorite, and a complete contrast to “Fit Mama.” Karyne is a former Cirque Du Soleil acrobat, but I could completely follow her gentle workout, and I found her music, voice, and workout flow to be much more calming and enjoyable. It really is a matter of preference - are you looking for a peppy cheerleader to push you through your workout, or are you looking for a soothing way to build strength and tone while pregnant?
4 Stars Fast Moving
The DVD itself is great. I like that it is broken up into parts so you don’t have to do the whole thing at once. It’s very challenging and fast moving. The yoga music could be a little better. I was very disappointed on the delivery time which took over two weeks.
3 Stars Fun but repetitive
I’m going to have to agree with the good and bad reviews. I haven’t been working out, so the fact that it is pretty easy is a GOOD thing for me. It would be hard to workout to only this dvd for the duration of my pregnancy since it is SO repetitive. Especially the “fat burning yoga”. I really enjoy the salsa portion and I don’t find her annoying at all. The dvd also has an option with no narration for those who do find her annoying!
5 Stars Easy to follow, effective workout
An excellent workout that I used throughout my pregnancy, up to two days before delivery. As other reviewers have explained, it is broken into several sections so you can do as much or as little as you like. Very easy follow I am aware that FitMama has been criticised for being repetitive - this was a bonus for me as my brain went AWOL during pregnancy. A safe, enjoyable workout that produced a light sweat and I didn’t have to think too much about it!
