Great post-natal work-out video

2008-08-05
This is a really great workout video. I started using it when my baby was almost 4 months, about a month ago. I noticed a difference in my muscle tone right away, and I am steadily losing weight & inches. I do the 12 week program, and I almost always add on one or two extra segments. I love how the video is broken up into 10 minute segments, I do not get bored with the workout, and the time goes by quickly. The instructor, Lindsey Brin, is cheerful and encouraging without being annoying. My problem with many videos is that the modifications seem just like the advanced version, but in this video that is not the case. I've already moved up to intermediate or advanced after starting everything at beginner. I would not recommend this video to someone who had a baby in the past month or two, and didn't stay in shape during pregnancy, because it is tough, but after that I do think it is the best or one of the best videos out there. My sister has never had a baby and she does it with me!

Great workout!

I have purchased this DVD 3 weeks ago and started exercising immediately. I am following the 12 week workout which so far has been really great. I enjoy it very much because the exercise is different every week so it's not boring at all. I started 2 1/2 months after delivery and I had trouble to breathe in the 2nd week of workout but I wasn't used to any kind of cardio before so I think that was one of the reasons as well.
It has only been 3 weeks since I began and I can't quite see the results yet but I do feel great every time I finish (each session is about 18 minutes long - just enough for the beginning)therefore I would recommend this DVD to anyone.
I am very satisfied and will definitely purchase another once I'm done with this one.

Not what I expected

This is a low budget video that is not meant for moms that just had a baby. I found many of the exercises too intense to do just weeks after having a baby and found it difficult to do the workout at home in my living room.

Excellent

I am very impressed with this workout. I think its a great way to get back into shape after baby. The 12 week program is excellent, it increases in intensity as you proceed. I gained a lot of extra weight with my pregnancy and this workout takes you to the limit to get rid of the extra pounds and tone you up. There is a nice variety of workouts that keeps you interested. Ms. Brin is genuine and seems to really be interested in what she is doing. Not that it matters much but the set is a little cheesy, my husband thought it looked like a video game.

Great Workout If You Have The Energy!

I have to admit this is a great workout dvd. I love how its broken up into segments so even when you have just ten minutes you can still workout. However it's a bit hardcore. I don't think that it's right for those first weeks after the baby. I've put this dvd back into the cabinet for now and am looking for a less intense workout video but I will be using it again later on. So if its been a few months since you've had your baby I would highly reccomend this dvd!

good way to ease back in

be careful please before attempting this workout

2008-02-08
what they should warn any woman about before buying this dvd is that you won't be able to use it until about 5 months after you give birth. i tried at 3 months and sprained my back. it's embarrassing to admit that after looking at the cover of this dvd because it looks like anyone can do it, but this dvd is hardcore. women still have the relaxin hormone from pregnancy that keeps our joints loose and has us thinking we can do more than we can, which is why a much more subtle workout and walking is more recommended than this. i will attempt this dvd again because the workout is great, but i will wait a couple months so that i don't get stuck another week on painkillers.

Awesome!

I love the Postnatal Bootcamp because it allows you to mix and match your workouts so you're not doing the same routine every time! I highly recommend this because it is an effective workout made for moms and you feel great!!

Kinda hokey, but effective

2008-01-18
I was looking for something to force me to do those terrible lunges, situps and pushups that I hate, and this video does just that. It's set up well, with short, 10-minute intervals that make you work REALLY hard, but you know it's not going to last too long so you can get through it. The only thing I would say is it's low-budget, so it's kinda hokey, but once you get past that it works. One more complaint - the cool-down section is too short without enough stretching.

eh...

it didn't really get me sweating like i thought it would- like all the reviews said- it was good for toning but i was looking for more cardio too. i will go back to my denise austin.
