 Wonderful!!Sep 22, 2008
I have done pilates regularly before becoming pregnant and I ordered this video when I was 4 months along and it has been fantastic! The excersises are modified a bit for expectant mothers but they still provide a great workout and the moves are still challenging! I love this video and am excited to use it throughout my pregnancy!
Perfect prenatal workoutAug 18, 2008
I really am enjoying the pilated dvd...it's a great prenatal workout and I feel stronger already. They great thing about it is you can do it all the way through your third trimester, while other dvd's don't give that option. To me it seems like a workout that everyone can do and I know it will help me to have a healthy delivery. Thanks!
Great Workout - Both Before and During Pregnancy!Aug 18, 2008
I decided to start using this workout DVD before I became pregnant, so as to prep my body for whatever workouts I would want to continue doing during pregnancy. I am a fairly active person with a high fitness level, although I had only done a moderate amount of Pilates workouts. Much to my surprise, I found this DVD challenging even before I got pregnant! I chose not to use the blankets for obvious reasons, but will reincorporate those as I enter my third trimester. The abs series was not overly challenging before I became pregnant, but once I was, it was just the right level of "stress" I would be willing to take on during the pregnancy. The side series...well it is great, regardless of whether you are pregnant or not. I am a distance runner, and I can tell you from the first workout I felt a lovely level of burn in my hips and thighs...not too much, just enough to confirm I had accomplished something. I look forward to using this workout throughout my pregnancy, and afterwards to get back into shape. I recommend this DVD for any level of fitness, starting before the actual pregnancy where possible. For those totally new to pilates, who were unable to start it before the pregnancy, I recommend doing fewer reps and pausing as often as necessary to do some stretching. While I agree with some reviewers that there is not enough focus at times on the perfect positioning, a little research on the fundametals of pilates stances can help offset this weakness in the video.
 Good workout but third trimester is hardAug 12, 2008
I liked this video through my first and second trimesters. I still really like the side leg series. The abdominal series has become really uncomfortable. I am in good shape and have exercised my entire pregnancy. I do not think the abdominal series is realistic for LATE pregnancy. Good video overall.

Challenging Prenatal WorkoutAug 06, 2008
I'm so happy with Pilates During Pregnancy, because it is one of the few prenatal workouts that is genuinely challenging. I agree with some reviewers that it's good to have some pilates background so you don't risk injury.
The dvd is calming but does not waste a lot of time explaining moves and you can just fly through the workout (if you have little kids waiting to be entertained, a quick no-nonsense workout is handy). I really like the instructor and like that she is visibly pregnant and decently clothed. I also had to pause the video a few times because my muscles were really burning the first three or four times I did the workout (and a day or two afterwards).
This along with Shiva Rea's Prenatal Yoga and Steben's Amazing Pregnancy Workout are the perfect workout combination for me, and I think it's why I feel so full of energy this pregnancy.
