4 Stars A Good Choice
I am currently in my second trimester and have been using this video workout for two months. There are two different workouts and a yoga session. The first work out is about 25 minutes long and I have not yet tried the second as the first is challenging enough to keep me doing it. You will need two sets of dumbbells. Lindsay has three on the video but only uses two, 3 lb. and 8 lb. I have been using 3 lb. and 5 lb. There are plenty of exercises for back and arms as well a variety of squats and movements for the legs. The workout has kept me in shape and, I believe, prepared my back to support the extra weight I have been gaining. The yoga is a nice cool down or good stretch and tension reliever, but as a novice to yoga I find some of the breathing only parts a tad boring. I recommend the yoga mat. One is used in the video and with out it my feet tend to slide on a couple of the poses.
There are a couple of negatives about this video. Lindsay is not pregnant and watching her smiling and bouncing while you sweat can be annoying. Occasionally a picture in picture box appears with a woman early in her second trimester doing the workout, but the box is small and pixels out on a large HD TV. The instruction is usually clear and concise. However, at one point Lindsay intructs us to throw in a pelvic tilt without any explanation. I have yet to figure out what she is doing, if anything, as it is not visible on the video. She also intructs us to do a Kegel now and then, but I knew what those were. The music is awful. Once I learned the rountine I simply killed the sound and played my own music which helped immensely with my energy level in getting through the whole workout.
Over all I would choose this video again. I feel like I get a good workout with out feeling like I am overly straining.
4 Stars A Fun and Versatile Prenatal Workout
I really enjoy doing this workout. The separate 20 minute yoga section makes a great cooldown. I also do the yoga on the days when my muscles are recovering from a more intense workout. This video is fun and while it is not too strenuous, I feel like I have gotten a good workout.

2 Stars Decent but long workout, disconcerting imagery
If you have 1.5 hours to get through the entire dvd it is helpful, but the background folk Christian and punk art-deco style (?) imagery (e.g., headless naked blue mannequin wrapped in outdoor lights standing behind the instructor) is out-of-place, as is the image of the instructor herself. I also found it hard to relax looking at the harsh contrasting lime green, black, and blue colors in the instructor’s studio/living room. Finally, Dr. Anderson is a chiropractor not a medical doctor so don’t let the title fool you into thinking she brings medical knowledge to this — in fact, she advises everyone use a chiropractor during pregnancy — something I’ve never heard or read anywhere else!
1 Star don’t buy it
I bought this product after reading good reviews. What a waste of money. It is the worst kind of quality you can imagine. Real home movie stuff and although the yoga moves are good, the instructor is so right on that it just puts you off. Save your money and go for a walk!
5 Stars Excellent
Excellent video. I am 8 months pregnant and have been doing this video since month 3…it has been challenging each month. It’s a great combo of stretching and strengthening. It is quite long (90 minutes) but divided into chapters, so you can choose to do all or part of the video. The cover looks very strange but the instructor is actually pretty normal… as far as yoga teachers go.
3 Stars Annoying…but good workout
I have done yoga for over 10 years, and have to say that this was the most annoying CD I have ever done. Christine was mono-tone, boring, and like another reviewer said, put in her sales pitch for chiropractic medicine which I found tasteless. The music makes you want to fall asleep. The only think that keeps you awake are the poses. She does a decent job with the yoga…but again, their is no fluidity.
2 Stars too long and to hard for me
i am sure it is a great DVD…
but for women who are expecting a baby and not really working….. 90 minutes it is a lot…
i thought it would be 90 min , but with different parts… to be able to do whatever you have time to do … choose a part… and come back without starting from the beginning… i couldn’t do the all thing…. and i feel i always have to start from the beginning again…. i don’t think it is good to skip the beginning and start from where i stopped the last time.
All the women on DVD are VERY pregnant , and all really comfortable with each exercises… it is amazing!!!
Also i am a beginner, and it is ok to follow the exercises… pretty much…but better to know about yoga …
i also bought the DVD, The Perfect Pregnancy Workout vol. 1 from Karyne Steben for workout and loved it… short , different levels… i could almost do it everyday… better for me.
