 Worth it! October 6, 2008
Give it a go! You will not be disappointed. It's only 40 minutes, but is a great program. It's short enough that the excuse "I don't have enough time" is preposterous, and yet comprehansive enough that I feel great after I finish every time! I enjoy the three levels (beginner, intermediate, and advanced) for most of the exercises which means that you can bring it up or down a notch depending on where you are and what kind of day you are having. I choose this video frequently from my little collection and would recommend it. If you do it, it's worth it.
 A good work-out for any level of fitness October 6, 2008

Not that hard. September 27, 2008

I am at the end of my first trimester and I don't consider myself fit. I have been a total couch potato for the past 4 years although I was a fitness nut before that, exercising 5 hours a day. I couldn't do anything till the 10th week because of pregnancy sickness. I bought this DVD together with vol 2, hoping to be very challenged. But other than the push-ups, the rest are very doable at the advanced level. The workout focused a lot on arm toning, which is good, but I don't really understand how that is important in a pregnancy. She explained what kegel is! I am sure many people knew what it is, but I didn't. The background is plain but not distracting. Not a fan of the music either since I like to be zen and prefer to stretch in soothing music. But all these are personal preferences. I think the instructor's attitude is sweet and unpretentious and I actually like her accent. Overall, I think it's a pretty good toning workout (which is what it was advertised to be. So if you are looking for aerobic, you may not like this) but not overly challenging.
Good until the second trimester September 25, 2008
I purchased this DVD when I was 5 weeks pegnant and I had been working out 6 months before my pregnancy.
It gave me the right amount of workout - not too hard, not too easy. I did it 2-3 times a week and I was able to stay fit and healthy. However, as I entered my third trimeter, it became really difficult to keep up with. I felt run out after the workout. So I decided to go with more light workout instead. I recommend this until the second trimester, but I could see why some people say this is too much.
