Customer Review
This DVD reallly works you. I enjoyed very much as I am used to being very fit. The instructor really takes you through the workout at a good pace. Great as going to the gym these days is not really as much fun! and this makes you feel like you are working out again!!
Customer Review
As a fitness fenatic with a toddler and now less time to go to the gym,I bought this DVD on a whim hoping that it would at least keep me toned in the last weeks of pregnancy as I could do it in the evening after DD has gone to bed.I find Erin great motivation, and not at all irritating despite being American and from California! Her bump is scarily huge! She manages to get you to do a reasonably challenging workout; some of the floor exercises really make your bum ache. I am now 37 weeks and can still do the DVD.
I had a look at the post-natal fitness fix and it looks ok - her advice about the stretches to do when you get homeand post-natal depression seem great. Highly recommended! Now,off to the gym!

Like other reviewers i am still pregnant and havent yet tried the post-natal workout. Before pregnancy i used to like to keep fit but was not commited to a weekly regime. I was told by midwife, doctor etc to mainatin current fitness levels but not aim to improve during pregnany.
I have to say that my levels of fitness have improved through doing this dvd and believe it has made pregnancy easier to cope with. It's a really good mix of developing muscle strength in the key muscles required for birthing, strengthening your core to help cope with the extra weight and stretching to help relieve any tension in your muscles. I have done this dvd 2-3 times a week since i was 12 weeks (now 31 wks) I thought i would struggle with it when i got to 3rd trimester but can honestly say that i feel fitter now than i did pre-pregnancy. Also if you're like me and cant resist cake etc it really helps to keep your weight gain at a healthy rate. I've also got the Davina dvd which i think is more suited for your last few weeks where this one is suitable all the way through your pregnancy. The other good thing about this DVD is the length of the workout, it's about 40 mins max so really easy to fit in to your schedule.

This DVD is excellent. I bought it at 20 weeks as I was finding it hard to keep motivating myself to exercise alone. This is great as you can fit it around your life - if you feel tired, just do 1 section, if you fancy a really good workout do the whole 60mins. You don't need a huge space to do the exercises - just enough to take 3 steps forward and to the side. The only equipment you need is a low table (or sofa arm), a chair and a wall!

I've only tried the first antenatal DVD and am keeping the postnatal one for later. So far I'm very impressed! I'm quite fit and active and this gets your heart rate up and pumping! You feel like you've done something really good for you and your baby, knowing that the moves Erin suggests are safe and beneficial. It's really encouraging to see a heavily pregnant woman really going for it, so it spurs you on too! She's not at all patronising, and hits the right mix of encouragement and motivation, without you feeling like you're not doing enough. She even shows you how to make the moves harder or easier, depending on your fitness level, or as is so typical with pregnancy, how you happen to be feeling that day!

Before buying I read lots of positive reviews but I also dipped into the negatives too. Don't be put off by them - people say she goes fast, but you've only got to do the routine a few times and then you know what's coming next. There is also such a thing as a pause button ;) . The partner work outs are fun - your partner provides resistance (and you control how much) - there is nowhere where you have to hold his entire weight!!! The workout is quite demanding but you can easily tone it down to suit you. Go ahead and get it - it's also much better value to buy the 2 discs at once rather than separate ante and post natal packages! Hope it helps you in your pregnancy like it's helping me!

This is an excellent routine - it's just the right length to be able to easily fit it in to the day, and it makes you sweat! I feel like I'm exerting enough effort to help me keep in shape but not exhausting or hurting myself.

It's also very reassuring to see the instructor so pregnant and moving so beautifully. It helps when feeling fat as well as pregnant, because I realise I can move and exercise perfectly well after all, even if I'm feeling conscious of my pregnancy and size.

The 20 minute partner workout is fun as well, and pretty hard work.

Altogether highly recommended for any pregnant woman who wants to keep active.
