Editorial Review: Video Description: Strengthen your body and maintain muscle tone during pregnancy safely and effectively with this fantastic UK physiotherapist endorsed DVD. The workouts are sensibly paced, allowing you to keep good technique as you get larger - with an emphasis on precision. If you are new to Pilates or want to undertake a simple but safe maintenance programme whilst pregnant this DVD is for you. With a warm up, a workout for early pregnancy and one for later pregnancy, you can create a stronger body to cope with the physical changes whilst developing safe posture and movement. A section on immediate post birth exercises also teaches you what you can do immediately after birth to regain muscle control and tone your abdominal muscles. Includes pelvic floor exercises. Users feedback is that the DVD has eradicated back pain, prevented recurrences of pubic pain as experienced previously and aided control during labour. A separate award winning and more challenging specific Post Natal product, 'Pilates for Mums' is also available from Enhance with physiotherapist approval. Synopsis: Two workouts designed for women preparing for pregnancy or who are pregnant. The exercises are designed to create a stronger body by developing safe posture and movement. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Waste of TimeMostly stretches with a couple of BEYOND BASIC pilates moves, and too much commentary in between. I'm annoyed to have purchased this... Rating: - Waste of MoneyThe so called exercises in this DVD are just a series of stretches. There are possibly 2 or 3 exercises but they are not specific to Pilates other than the breathing and constant checking of alingment. You would find them in the toning section of other pre and post-natal DVD's. I did not expect to break a sweat doing this but I did expect to feel like my body had worked a little bit. Rating: - Waste of MoneyI was really disappointed by this DVD. It displays only a few extremely basic exercises, too many repetitions of the same movements and the pace is so slow that it is almost impossible to follow! Being already a mum of a three-years old and full-time working, I don't have much time to exercise and I cannot loose so much time for so little. I really wasted my money buying it! Rating:  - Excellent, well-structured, Pilates routine for pregnancyI am staggered at the negative reviews for this product - and am not surprised that those expecting an aerobic routine were disappointed. Clearly they have never done Pilates before, and don't understand this method of exercise. Pilates is all about slow, concentrated movements and deep muscle control, not breaking out into a sweat and jumping around a room following an aerobic instructor. The exercises are designed to lengthen and strengthen the muscles, and NOT to make you feel like you've just ...

Tried to get my husband to do it with me for fun & even he said it was boring and the music made him want to sleep! Not recommended if you are already used to doing a lot of exercise as it's not challenging enough. Probably made it too 'safe'. Also production is cheap & tacky. Looks like a home video. Not sure why it got such good previous reviews, wish I hadn't bought it. Not worth the money - I ended up giving it away! |
