| |  | DVD The Perfect Pregnancy Workout vol. 1 |  | | | | | | | | | | Rating:  - Great beginning workout video
I bought this dvd at 4 weeks (I know, very early!) and have been using it for the last 6 weeks, along with her sister's, vol. 2 and Pilates during Pregnancy. I have not had extreme morning sickness, but I certainly haven't been feeling like myself. Before I became pregnant I would classify myself as an intermediate in workouts, I typically do calisthenics and pilates at home on dvd. While pregnant I find I am tired and much less motivated to work out. So these videos have been great at just getting me up and moving, stretching and giving me a boost of energy. As some women mentioned, her voice is dubbed over the video, which I think works very well. There is no huffing and puffing or change in clarity. I find her accent charming and her tone soothing. The Kegel exercises are a real bonus, I'm not sure how many others focus on this, but it's something I think about as I get later into pregnancy and worry about sneezing or laughing too hard! Hope you enjoy and have a happy and healthy pregnancy.
Rating:  - challenging, yet rewarding
I bought this based on the great reviews I read...I think they are right on. It's a challenging workout (more so than any other prenatal workout I've tried) but not so challenging that I feel discouraged. When I've missed a few days, I can definitely feel it--a good kind of sore!
I love the warmup and cool down, all the stretching and emphasis on breathing does wonders for my aching back!

Rating:  - Not all it is cracked up to be
To start out I am a very active person and consider myself to be in pretty good shape. I have done a lot of videos before I was pregnant and catch on quickly. I got two videos hoping to alternate them with the days I do my cardio.I will write about the videos separately.
The first one was The Complete Pregnancy with Erin O'Brien.I really enjoyed this video.At times it got my heart rate up and my legs were even a little sore the next day.I wish it would have had a little more upper body work and stretching but overall it gave me a good workout.I would recommend this video.I will continue to do it.
The next video I did was The Perfect Pregnancy Workout With Karyne Steben and it was absolutley the worst video I have ever done and believe me I have done my fair share of workout videos.Everything was so random in it.There was no flow of exercises.One minute I am using a bench, then I am using a chair, then I get weights, then I am on the chair again changing its position, then I am on the floor, and then I am standing with weights again.I felt like I was just jumping from one thing to another.I probably got more exercise moving equipment than I did doing the video.It feels like the last five minutes of the video I am doing arm circles with the weirdest music playing. My heart rate never got up and I don't feel like I even worked my muscles.Besides all that her voice is recorded.I was very disappointed with this video after all the great reviews I saw.I am now going to have to order another one because this video will not cut it.I would not recommend this video to anyone.
Rating: - Good workout, worth the price.
This is a pretty fun and challenging workout that will actually make you sore afterwards, but does offer easier movements if needed.I would buy again for sure!
