Description
"Erin's a pro at fitness, she's a pro at pregnancy, and she fuses these together for two perfect prenatal workouts. I highly recommend this fitness program." —Ellen Barrett, M.S., bestselling exercise video star and author of Weights for Weight Loss Staying fit and energized throughout your pregnancy just got easier. Custom-created by Hollywood trainer and Hollywood Mom ERIN O'BRIEN, Prenatal Fitness Fix is a unique program that quickly and effectively conditions your growing body. Modified Pilates, kegels, sports conditioning, and true-blue body sculpting seamlessly blend together in Erin's two workouts. You'll get it all: fat-burning cardio, muscle toning, strength training, and tension-relieving stretches. The first workout—40 minutes long—is like an exercise class in the comfort of your own home. No special equipment needed, just clear some space in your living room. Erin's a genius at keeping your mind focused, your body invigorated, and your spirits up. The second workout—20 minutes long—is for you and a partner. Erin and her husband, actor JAMES DENTON (Desperate Housewives, The Pretender), take you through a circuit-training partner series. It's the perfect way to include others in your pregnancy journey! ERIN O'BRIEN has 10 years of experience as a pre/postnatal exercise specialist working in elite fitness clubs in both New York City and Los Angeles. She holds several certifications, including one in pre/postnatal training from the Esquerre Fitness Group.

Great for fit moms! November 4, 2008
Bethany A. Sobraske (Templeton, CA United States)
I purchased this DVD based on previous reviews, hoping it would be a sufficient workout. I am an avid exerciser and have found the workout to be great for flexibility, strength (esp. lower body), and stamina. The ONLY thing it lacks is more of an upper body focus. I just do some free weights when I'm finished (2-3 times per week has worked really well). Erin is personable and not at all annoying. You don't need ANY special props, just a coffee table and edge of your couch. I highly recommend for fit, and "wanting-to-be-fit" moms to be!
 Pretty good October 6, 2008

I'm only about 6 weeks pregnant but I decided to go ahead and try to find a comparable workout video to what I've already been doing. With my last pregnancy I used Denise Austin and I was really unimpressed; however, this one was pretty decent. She does go from one move to the next somewhat fast and it doesn't give you much time to get your props ready. Once you've gone through the DVD once though you'll be prepared for the next time. The production value isn't very good either. It was definitely just shot in her home, but you still get a really good workout. I would probably give it one more star if it had other women in different stages of their pregnancy. This only has Denise herself doing the entire workout. I would recommend it though in addition to some brisk walking a few times a week.
 Love This Workout! August 27, 2008

I'm in my fifth month and bought 3 dvds - this one, Perfect Pregnancy Workout Vol. 1, and Prenatal Yoga with Shiva Rea. I really love Erin's personality - she's upbeat, easy to follow, but not cheesy like many instructors. And, it's a really good workout that is challenging and fun. I definitely recommend it!
Great workout, easy to adapt, and no props needed August 23, 2008
Raffaella Negretti Holland (Honolulu, Hawaii United States)
I really loved this DVD. I am now 28 weeks and I am still doing this workout, although I modified some of the exercises a bit. It is easy to adapt to your pace, fitness level, and stage of pregnancy, and the exercises do not require props like balls, weights, rubber bands etc., which some of the other dvds require. It is also easy to remember, and I have done some of the exercises in the swimming pool :)
Overall I really enjoy it and I think Erin is a great instructor. I have both the Gabrielle Reece workout (which I like) and the Shiva Rea yoga, but this one is the DVD I use and like the most.
Good prenatal workout August 16, 2008
Kimberly K. Marchese (Colorado Springs, CO United States)
This is a workout for folks who have been exercising all along and are looking for a prenatal workout that isn't too slow or easy. If you are out of shape or new to exercise try something like Crunch Yoga Mama or walk. This workout makes me feel really good when I'm done. To be honest, I don't really enjoy this workout; I don't get lost in the exercises like I do with other workouts. I really like Kyra Landgolf's Total Body Tone. There's a 7 mo pregnant exerciser in the video who modifies the workout for pregnancy. This is the workout I'd recommend if you were an exerciser before and want to continue. But, back to this workout. Expect lots of squats, some upper body work through modified pushups, some tricep dips, a few ballet moves, pilates floorwork and stretches. Your heartrate will go up, you will sweat and you will feel really good when you are done. I haven't had the same aches and pains that I had with my first pregnancy. I think the video is worth a try, maybe you'll connect with it more than I have.
