Just what i was looking for

"i've done the 3 second trimester workouts....because that is where i am in my pregnancy. at first i thought i'd do all three at once for a 45 minute workout. i learned quickly that that was unnecessary. each one is a challenging full body workout. most other pregnancy videos i've done have not been challenging enough or did not work the whole body. this one surely does, safely....quads, hamstrings, butt, abs, back, shoulders, triceps, biceps, heart.
the equipment needed are light free weights, a stability ball, a resistance band, a chair and a towel. i did not rate this video with 5 stars because in my opinion, a resistance band is not easy to use anywhere. i am unable to anchor a band in the area i workout. so instead of the band, i use free weights when i'm able or no resistance."

"As a one time Atlete, Gabrielle Reece has always been a role to me. She embodies HEALTH. Her goal with her pregnancy DVDs is to empower women to do something good for themeselve. Exersice shouldnt be about shrinking down to a cookie cutter body image, it should be about obtaining a healthy body.I like that she designed her system to accomadate the needs and restrictions for each trimester. Also, Reece has made it so that you can opt to do brief work outs. If you are looking for a strnous work out, look in to your self to figure out why? Your weight and your pant size should be the last thing you are worried about while pregnant. Focus on gaining a healthy weight (around 25 to 35 pounds) and concentrate on keeping your body strong to sustain your growing belly. Understand that the media tells us that we need to get thin fast after our pregnancy, and this should not be the case. It takes a year for our bodies to recuperate after giving birth. Focus on getting your body back together, not getting your body back into jeans."

Not What I was Expecting

"I was disappointed there was no cardio. I felt that there were too many props which interrupted the flow of the work out, because of this I lost interest quickly."

Wish each exercise segment was longer

"If you want a very brief workout, this video is for you. I thought I'd string together 2 or 3 of the 15-minute workouts to make one longer workout, but found that each segment is too choppy to do that and have an effective workout.

Each exercise is only done for 4 or 5 reps, so I felt like I spent most of the time switching exercises rather than doing one.

Gabby is sweet, though, and adds real-mom commentary as she's doing the exercises. I would love this video if each exercise was just repeated 10-15 times, but then it would no longer be a 15-min workout."
