Classic Kathy Smith - Pregnancy Workout

Classic Kathy Smith - Pregnancy Workout

Kathy Smith has been around a while in the world of fitness videos, and with good reason. Her calm, authoritative manner, flawless timing, emphasis on proper form, and responsible directions put her entire fitness series a cut above most celebrity workouts. Pregnancy Workout is no exception. Smith and five workout buddies (all of them appearing to be well past the fifth month of pregnancy) demonstrate a good 50-minute prenatal workout, with an ample warmup period, a cardio section that includes sufficient upper-body work, plenty of safe abdominal and pelvic-floor exercises, and an active relaxation period (which some avid aerobicizers may find a bit too long). Smith uses props such as chairs and pillows to allow effective exercise while maintaining an emphasis on safety and comfort. There's also an excellent section on getting back up to working out postpartum, with a set of simple exercises that can be done within a day or two after delivery (and even a few stretches for the baby, which Smith demonstrates with her adorable infant daughter). Gynecological authorities appear in the video as well to give advice on prenatal exercise and to answer common postnatal questions on such topics as resuming exercise after a C-section and timing exercise around breastfeeding. The baby-block and teddy-bear graphics are a little too cutesy, and those used to working out to high-energy Top 40 hits may find the music extremely bland, but the exercise itself is always the focus, making this one of the best pregnancy workouts available. --Barrie Trinkle

    This was the most cheesy workout DVD I have ever encountered! Unless you are a die hard 80's fan that still wears leg warmers and camel toe leotards, don't get this DVD! I was clapping and side stepping, trying to keep up with the work out. The music was terrible and to be honest, I didn't even break a sweat for the ten minutes that I worked out to it--that's how long I gave it a chance before I turned it off and never returned to it EVER again!

    This is a GREAT pregnancy workout. Not to strenuous, not to easy. I was able to complete this workout until my 7th month (I got really huge). I even used this workout to loose the baby weight after the baby was born, but it can be annoying to workout with pregnant woman on the screen when your not pregnant! I was in reasonably good shape before I started this program. May be too strenuous if your pregnant and starting from scratch. I'd recommend this to any pregnant woman who wants to exercise. It will help you feel a lot better through your pregnancy!

    This dvd is not at all boring and it is challenging (29 weeks pregnant). Kathy Smith makes it fun and easy to follow along... the music is upbeat.. and I agree that rap part is a lil bit corny, but not at all enough of a reason for me not to purchase, it definately made me sweat a bit .. Oh and let me just state that I was in excellent shape pre-pregnancy... meaning I would workout at the gym 5days a week 2 hours a day... people need to realize that you canot workout at the same entensity level as you did before, because you body is much more prone to injury.. i got the sense by all the reviews that everyone with negative reviews thought it wasnt enough of a workout.. which almost made me not purchase this dvd.. but Im very glad I decided to try it for myself :)
