Fit for Life - Prenatal Yoga [DIGITAL VIDEO DISC]

I am in my 2nd trimester and enjoy this yoga course very much, it's incredibly well designed for healthy pregnancy and delivery. I have been doing yoga for many years, and feel this is challenging me plenty.

I have been using this dvd for about 3 wks now, and would recommend it to anyone. I was suffering with a lot of back and leg pain and lots of anxiety. Since I have been using this my back pain as went away and I have lots of energy and I'm very calm about things so the anxiety has ceased.

I have only done it during my second trimester but the pace and ease of directions makes this an enjoyable experience.  I feel like I will be able to do this up to delivery.

When I became pregnant with my 5th child, my husband and I were very happy. I do recall suffering from backaches and pains and was not looking forward to it. My 3rd pregnancy, we went out and purchased a very expensive mattress set thinking that would be the solution to my problem. It was only temporary. During my OB appt. one of the RNs recommended Yoga to me. I was also concerned that I had not lost all of my "baby weight" from my previous pregnancy and I had gained a lot of weight on birth control. I began the workout DVD toward the end of my 1st trimester. I worked out with the DVD 4 to 5 times a week and walked on my treadmill 1-2 a week. One thing I noticed immediately....no back pains. I also really enjoyed the relaxation part and the fact that I would actually fall asleep right on the mat! The exercises were easy but you still felt a "good stretch" in certain poses. I also liked the fact that you are able to watch different variations of the poses from the various different women on the DVD just in case you need to modify. Moreover, it is VERY relaxing! (Great for us moms with multiple children. The DVD really gives a peace of mind.) Pre-pregnancy, I was 184lbs. While working out with this DVD, I only gained 10lbs and my son was 8lbs. 7oz. (I was also not on a restricted diet and never had gestational diabetes.) I ate when I was hungry, I ate what I wanted, and I drank lots of water. When I went to my six week check up, I was 156lbs!!! My pre-pregnancy clothes are TOO BIG!! I am amazed! I also had a C-section so I was not able to do any sort of workout during those 6 weeks. During my workout regimen, I did begin to feel "leaner" but with an every growing abdomen, you really don't see it. However, I see it now!! I am very happy and pleased with my results. I am feeling more like myself now and I am now back to purchase another Yoga DVD. This DVD is for all mommies to be in all beautiful shapes and sizes.

This DVD was great for me since I had not done Yoga in years. It helped me opening up my rip-cage which made breathing easier. I did have to be careful with any sort of twists since I do have chronic back pain. Also, this was a great alternative to a gentle Yoga class which was too strenuous for me to follow. Now after pregnancy I will still use it as gentle Yoga practice. So overall this is a great product and I also recommend it for beginners.

I started doing this routine when I started my 2nd trimester; and really enjoy it. The choreography is beautiful and the instructions are well-done. I am familiar with her yoga style prior to pregnancy, so I was not dissapointed with this. It is about 45-min long and divided into three sections, the warm up, standing poses and floor work. There are 3 models who are in 3 different trimester so you can pick out which modification fits your condition the best. I also bought her post-natal series and hope to practice it when the time comes.

This DVD came recommended from a Yoga Instructor and has been a great way for my wife to relax, stretch and not be worried about hurting the baby. It has three ladies to watch in the DVD...one for each trimester of your pregnancy. Different stages in your pregnancy require different accommodations, so this is important. As her husband, I've even exercised/stretched with her. It can (and probably should) be done daily, but schedules are what they are, so we have done it about every other day. It's relaxing and we hear that it will pay BIG during delivery. Enjoy!

I am in my second trimester and was having some mid-back pain. A friend recommended this DVD and it's really helped with the pain. I am not a yoga person, but I have really been enjoying the video. The whole workout is about 45 minutes long and the time really flies by. Some of the graphics are a bit cheesy, but I think it's a good video overall.

I have not done yoga, but want to see if this helps with some of the aches and pains. It is easy to follow and the poses are easy to figure out. I was actually sore the first time doing it. But it felt great! I need to find the time to start doing it again, it's tough to find time with two toddlers running around. But, it is relaxing and it was worth the money.

The routines are good with modifications for each trimester of pregnancy but its difficult to get to the different workouts, there are no choices on the Menu so you have to fast forward to get to where to want to be and you have to listen to the introduction every time you want to do a workout.
