 Great and versatile! November 25, 2008
A. Forster (Blairstown, NJ)
I really like this video - you can do each of the 10 minute segments separately or together as one workout. They are not too easy or too hard, and short enough to not get boring, as many pilates videos are. There is weight training, which is very nice and the girl in it is not at all annoying (another very common problem with workout videos). I've done it since I was only 18 weeks (I'm 25 now) and should be able to continue throughout the entire pregnancy. The stretches help with back pain too!
great workout! November 23, 2008

I'm in my 4th month, and was looking for a more structured workout to add to walking etc. Each of these 5 10-minute segments is a good quick workout on their own. Plus, the menu option to do several segments consecutively lets you create your own longer workout. The workouts are challenging, but do-able and I'm really enjoying this DVD.
The time spent on your back is quite brief, and the instructor (who is 36+ weeks herself) keeps you moving or on an incline for all of it. I'm not overly concerned about this.
good workouts September 4, 2008

I enjoy this workout very much. It keeps me toned nicely. I would agree with the other ladies who reviewed this item with the lying on your back but when I get that far a long I just plan on putting the pillow behind my back. Other than that a great workout!
I love this workout August 10, 2008

After a shaky first trimester, my doctor gave me the ok to exercise again. I started shopping for a good, fun workout DVD. I tried the "Buff Moms-to-be" workout - don't bother with that one. Way to wimpy. Next, I got the "The Perfect Pregnancy Workout" DVD. I love that workout. By far my favorite. However, there isn't much core work involved, so I thought I'll get a pilates DVD, so I can alternate workouts. So, I ordered "Pilates during Pregnancy." That workout is way too brutal. It made me hurt all over, and not in a good way. Finally, I ordered the "10-Minute Solution Prenatal Pilates" DVD. Oh, how I love this workout. The whole body gets a workout. Every muscle in your body is working. The workout is just right - not too wimpy and not too hard. Very doable. You'll feel great afterwards. The instructor is very pleasant, and the background is very inviting. The music is there, but not overpowering. There are five 10 minute sections: Standing Pilates, Core Pilates, Pilates for Buns & Thighs, Total Body Pilates, and Pilates for Flexibility (my favorite). You can select the "Play All" feature, or you can create your own workout by selecting only the sections you want to do. I recently started some physical therapy for my sciatica, and the therapist commented on how great my muscle tone is, especially in my core. I told her about this DVD, and she told me to keep it up, since it seems to work well. I'm now 34 weeks pregnant, and I will continue to use this DVD and "The Perfect Pregnancy Workout" as long as I can.
A number of people have raised some concerns about some of the exercises on this DVD that are done laying on your back. First of all, the amount of time you spend on your back is extremely short. A couple of minutes at the most. I spend more time laying on my back during ultrasounds. Also, the physical therapist gave me some exercises to do at home for my sciatica, and those exercises have me laying flat on my back for 3-5 minutes, so it can't be that bad. Also, while you are laying on your back, during this workout, you are moving around, so I could imagine that prevents blockage of blood flow. But, you need to do what you feel comfortable with. I would definitely recommend this DVD for a great pre-natal workout.

I'm in the 7th month of my third pregnancy. With my first two, I didn't really exercise much beyond long walks with my dog. This one was an oops AND I'm almost 37, so I decided to try some exercising to stay in better shape. When I'm not pregnant, I am a regular exerciser and like to stay fit with jogging, some pilates, some yoga, etc. I've used the 10 minute solution series for years and liked how easy it is to fit into my schedule as a working mom.
I ordered this DVD a month ago when I was 6 months along and absolutely LOVE it. It is not meant to be a cardio workout, but is perfect for toning and stretching. I see results in my arms, legs, and it has helped my back be more comfortable as the baby gets bigger. I never knew you could do abdominal exercises while pregnant, but I love what is included. Lisbeth (or whatever her name is) is great because she is at 36 weeks while doing the workout--very inspiring. My only "complaint" is that she does move quickly from one thing to the next, so until you do it quite a few times, you may need your remote nearby to pause while you move your body from floor to kneeling on all fours, etc. I may just be slow...
If you've used and enjoyed the 10 minute solution series, you won't be disappointed with this one. It's been a perfect solution for my desire to exercise and feel better about this pregnancy. I don't think I would have found it all that great until the 2nd trimester, when I stopped running. I look forward to the bonus section on getting your tummy flat after the baby is born, too.
