4 out of 5 stars A real butt/leg burner!   March 11, 2010
J. Eisenhardt
I love this workout!! You'll need a couch, space on the wall, and hard chair (like a kitchen table chair) to do the workouts, but just clear a 6x8 space in your den and you're ready to go. It's just enough of a heart rate boost to get you going, but nothing that you'll need to worry about. If it's too much aerobic for you, she shows modifications. I'd recommend starting this (and other workouts) as early in your pregnancy as you can, so that you're not just starting at 20 weeks when it might be a bit hard the first time.

The first few times I did this, though, boy did my butt and thighs burn! Lots of squats and glutes, which is good, but can be hard the first few times. The 40-minute workout is actually more like 35 or so, since the first three minutes are intro, doctor warning, etc, and the end is relaxation.

What's awesome, though, is Erin herself. She says funny things like, "you're holding that belly in, right?" or "If you need to pee, that's ok, just pause me, I don't like to work out alone." Fun stuff, upbeat and super supportive attitude.



5 out of 5 stars AMAZING!!!!   February 15, 2010

I really enjoy this viedeo. I can feel the burn when I am finished and I feel great after my workout. At the same time, I am not worried that it is too much. I think that anyone will benefit from this video and I recommend it to everyone, pregnant or not!


5 out of 5 stars Love love LOVE this prenatal workout!   January 29, 2010

I don't know why everyone doesn't give this DVD 5 stars. Honestly, this workout gives me the best 40 minute total conditioning that I need. Erin is a great trainer, her workout is straight forward and to the point. She doesn't have difficult positions - although the workout itself is difficult! I still have trouble doing all the reps - but she is pushing me! I didn't workout for the first 14 weeks of my pregnancy, and now am 22 weeks along. Between her DVD and Summer Sanders I am on my way to at least feeling moderately in shape again.

Couldn't rave about this video more - buy it - it's worth every penny!



3 out of 5 stars Workout ok but not great   January 22, 2010

I didn't really like this workout. As far as the workout itself goes, I feel like I got a pretty good workout. She doesn't do weights at all. It's alot of squats and lunges, legwork on the floor, pushups off your couch and on the wall, and some pilates moves.

I was running alot before I got pregnant (and still running now), so I feel like I'm in decent shape. It definitely wasn't over-exerting, but I finished feeling like I had done something good for my body.

The reason I didn't like the video is that I didn't mesh with Erin O'Brien. She seems a little intense, and it felt like we were moving from one exercise to another---to get as many exercises in the allotted time. As has been stated previously, the production quality was pretty poor, and it did feel like they just filmed it in her living room. It was also somewhat annoying having to move furniture around in order to use the props that she wants to use.

All in all, she gives you a good workout, but I just didn't find it enjoyable. So far, Lindsay Brin's videos are my favorite.



5 out of 5 stars Surprised that I was able to do it!   January 22, 2010

I initially bought this DVD because the reviews were from avid exercisers who said that it got their heart rate up. My only problem: I am not an avid exerciser. I can't remember the last time I did anything, and my exercise during my pregnancy has been limited to the occasional prenatal aqua fit class. I purchased this DVD at the onset of my 2nd trimester, but hadn't gotten around to do it by 24 weeks (like I said, not a big exerciser). I was also nervous that it might be too much of a challenge after reading the other reviews.

I was pleasantly surprised with this work-out. As I started the warm-up I thought to myself "oh boy, will I survive this?" but I found it fun, challenging, not exhausting, and moved quickly. I was not watching the clock during this work-out (if it's too exhausting or boring I tend to). I liked Erin, she seemed down-to-earth (perhaps it was her lack of make-up) and encouraging (I laughed out loud when she would reassure the viewer by saying "you're okay!")

This DVD gets the thumbs up from from active mom's-to-be, and as one who is far from active, I just wanted to add my two cents about this being a fun and totally doable workout. I'm going to try to incorporate it frequently into my routine, as I am gaining weight quickly despite my healthy diet. Also, I am concerned about the "marathon of birth."

Good luck mommies!
