Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Not What I Expected Comment: I was really excited to get this one in the mail ,but once I did and started the routine I was really bored! I am pregnant and want to feel like I have exercised. This video should be labeled beginner, beginner! Customer Rating: Summary: Good DVD for exercise beginners Comment: I liked that this DVD had different workouts for different stages of pregnancy. Since I was a moderate exerciser before pregnancy with a background in dance, I found the routines a bit boring. This video would be good for a pregnant woman who has not exercised in a while or is a beginner. Customer Rating: Summary: Love it Comment: I rented this from the Library to check it out and yes its a little easy but its great. You do sweat but its not where you are out of breath. Fun workout DVD~! Customer Rating: Summary: ok Comment: If you can take her annoying, "soothing" voice, the workout is probably pretty good. I could only watch it a few time b/c as my hormones increased, the more annoyed I got with her. I almost threw the remote at our plasma tv when I first heard her utter "I worked out everyday of MY pregnancy - even on the day I delivered my first." Luckily, my husband was there to restrain me. Customer Rating: Summary: Great for expectant mothers of multiples! Comment: I had read other reviews that this workout DVD was a little easy for those of us who work out on a regular basis. Something still told me to order it (thinking maybe I'd use it later in my pregnancy), and now I'm very glad I did! When we found out we were having twins, my doctor put the kibosh on my harder workouts I'd been doing up to that point (i.e., no more cardio kickboxing!). This DVD is perfect for me, as it's nice and low impact, but still lets me feel like I did something, and gives me that mood boost that working out provides. Since we are a unique group, wanted to share that if you are expecting multiples, this might be the DVD for your pregnancy too!
