[.ca] Leisa Hart's Fit Mama - Prenatal Workout

Great pregnancy workout -- even if you hate to exercise!:
I was so excited to find Leisa Hart's prenatal workout DVD. With my last pregnancy, I took up walking and tried doing whatever prenatal workout I could, but my well-meaning husband got me a prenatal yoga video that I just HATED to do. It felt a little too much like work, forcing myself to do it. Now 4 months into my second pregnancy, this DVD has been a lifesaver! Not only do I not mind doing it, but it's actually FUN! Plus, with the DVD format, you can pick and choose what type of workout you want to do ... from the fat-burning yoga one day to the Salsa dance (my absolute favorite) the next. Plus, there are lots of prenatal stretches and relaxation techniques. I especially like how fun and upbeat Leisa Hart keeps this workout ... not at all boring or "meditative" like some. Just a great prenatal workout in general! Five stars!

best prenatal video ever!!!!:
FITMAMA Prenatal is no doubt the BEST EVER prenatal made to hit the market. I LOVED IT. Leisa Hart is a guru with fitness programming, I loved her BUNS OF STEEL videos a few years back and loved it when I saw that she did a prenatal video, expecially after doing a few others that bored me to tears. This was fund, the Salsa dancing got my heart rate to a great level, the yoga was new and fun, a great variation that Leisa explains well and it toned my hips and legs and got my back ready to deliver another healthy baby, this is a TWO THUMBS UP video!!!

love it!!:
I love this DVD. It really is fun, i look forward to doing it. It works well that it is divided up into the salsa dance and the yoga so you can chose what you feel like doing, or if you have energy you to do both. My favorite is the salsa dance, easy to follow but fun and i laugh when i do it. I also enjoy the abs/kegels part and the stretch. This is all you need! I feel like the intensity is perfect, not too much to wear me out but i could if i wanted too. I will be getting the postnatal fitness, leisa is a great instructor.

Easy Way to Stay fit:
After not being able to workout for 6months, this is DVD is a very nice way to ease back into it. It is very repetative, but at the end of a long work day it is nice not to have to remember lots of intricate steps. I have really enjoyed the stretching segments. I would recommend this to any expectant mother who wants to ease back into working out. Leisa is pleasant to listen too and is easy to follow and understand. If you are a regular fitness guru, I think this video will most likely be to slow paced for you. Enjoy!

A little boring:
For anyone who is experienced with working out, this gets boring fast because it is really repetitive. Especially the salsa dance portion, it had me bored to tears after the 2nd time. What really drove me up the wall was listening to Lisa breath so heavily into her microphone. Maybe she does it so you know when to inhale and when to exhale but by the end of the video I couldn't take it anymore. I like the yoga fat burn, that is the best part of the video. For anyone new to working out, I would highly recomend this. I also liked that she had people from each trimester in the video, that helps you visualize the different moves.
