Just What I Needed

"I've been using this workout video since my sixth month of pregnancy. I found that it was just what I needed to add a little variety to my work out. She starts with a segment of warming up, then follows with three segments of aerobics and dance moves, and a great cool down. There's also a couple segments that focus on toning arms, legs, and abdominals (all of which are completly safe for you and the baby). The first couple times I used it I was having trouble staying with her dance moves, but by the third time, it was a no brainer. I'm very pleased with the video and would recommend it to anyone that wants to add some variety and excitment to their personal workout routine."

Great workout for the person who knows a little workout move

"I just rented this video from Netflix and found that it was exactly what I was looking for in a pregnancy workout video. I am six months pregnant and a lot of the pregnancy workout videos are VERY boring! This one has you moving around on your feet with a wide variety of activities.

The only caution I give is that if you're not familiar with some workout moves such as the "grapevine", you might find this workout hard to follow at first."

What I was looking for

"I really enjoy the intensity of this workout. I think it's completely possible to keep up with. The warm-up and cool down section are about 7 minutes each. The cardio section is 20 minutes not the 30 minutes in stated in another review. I also have Leisa Hart's pregnancy workout in which I love the dance moves, but it gets really repetitive. Gloria Quinlan puts a lot of variety in the moves so that you don't get bored. I was also pleased that it had a weights section. The weight-lifting segment is intense enough to help you maintain muscle tone without being unsafe for you and your baby."

A good workout

"This workout is very old-school, in their outfits, production, and the aerobics routine itself, but I thoroughly enjoyed it! I actually felt like I got a real workout. The instructer is beautiful with a very soothing accent. There is a lot of diversity to the routine. You get a good cardio and weight training section. There is absolutely no breathing cues, and I wish there was more lower body work in the toning section, but its overall very good. There is a cheesy relaxation section at the end that I didn't do, but the nice thing is the DVD is divided into sections so you can do all or part of the workout. I also sat on an exercise ball for a little extra kick during the weight training section (she has you on a chair). All you need are hand weights and possibly a resistance band."
