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 Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Great pregnancy workout 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 ...

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 ... Read More Rating: - Meh. The workouts are okaaayyy (and I do appreciate the fact they're segmented), but it is clearly for those who are new to exercising. If you're just starting to work out, this will be a great DVD. If you've been exercising prior to getting pregnant, this DVD will bore you. Rating: - For those who complain about it being outdated... I did this workout when I was pregnant with my first child, when it was only available on VHS. (I now have 3 children, and my oldest is now 9 years old, so I was doing this workout 10 years ago.) It was recently put on dvd format, and many are complaining that the music, leotards, and decor are outdated. I wanted to comment that Kathy Smith filmed this workout when she was pregnant herself, so unless she gets pregnant again, there is really no way for her to be pregnant and ... Read More Rating: - Easy to customize! It's really easy to skip from chapter to chapter on this dvd and make the workout as long or short as you want. There are three 20 minute aerobic segments to choose from and then several target toning segments. I would like more stretching (a few yoga poses would be perfect!). It does get your heart rate going. If you can get over the cheesy early 90s color scheme/decor, its a good workout. see more Browse for similar items by category: Fitness & Yoga - Genres - DVD - Video - Aerobics Kathy Smith - By Instructor - Fitness & Yoga - Genres - DVD - Video - All Titles Fitness & Yoga - Genres - DVD - Video - Fitness Fitness & Yoga - Genres - DVD - Video - Pregnancy Workouts Fitness & Yoga - Genres - DVD - Video - General
