I was so disappointed with this video. First of all, the lady is Canadian. Her stupid French accent drove me nuts. Second, they don’t tell you before you order the video that she’s a member of cirque de soliel–during the video I felt like an idiot because I couldn’t even do the “simple” moves she was doing. And finally, she can’t keep a beat. If you’re going to have music in a workout video, then do the moves at the same tempo as the music.

I exercise regularly before and during pregnancy. I bought this DVD based on the reviews saying that it was challenging, that she is a professional cirque de soleil performer, etc and was highly disappointed. There is no warm up and just a few awkward poses. I guess they are afraid to make a pregnant woman do anything physical. I have yet to find a prenatal video that is at all challening. I think it is best to use your favorite exercise video or calss and modify the moves so you feel comfortable. I am 7 months pregnant and do not find this a good workout. I feel it is a waste of time to turn it on. Maybe they are meant for those 8 1/2 months? i don’t know. I wish Karen Voight would make one for pregnant women.

The work out is mostly strength training and takes alot of time-its not broken down into any segments and almost runs an hour for the complete workout from start to finish-not many people have a whole hour to devote to workout at one time. The trainer is from another country and is very fit but is hard to understand-its obvioius she is a gymnest or professional dancer-not a realistic workout. For the price the work out dvd you would think it would be a better quality but its just her working out in a gym that looks like a highschool gym or something.

My wife is an exersise finatic and the one thing she was fretting about when we decided to try to get pregnant was the fact that we exersising would be limited and so she ordered this video to see what she could do and she’s been doing this video along with walking and she is happier than ever. . . still not pregnant (alas) but between this video, her walking and all that potential baby making. . . good god does she get a workout!

pretty arrogant to call it the Perfect Pregnancy video, but it is ok. . . . the soft tone of the instructor is a bit cheesy; i like the beginner exercisers but found the pace to be a bit too far off the beaten path. I recommend that you try other prenatal videos to form a well rounded opinion, but mine is that this is just ok.
