Certified instructor description: Two separate workouts: one pre-natal, one post-natal (each with three goal-specific 10-minute segments). Prenatal: The first standing section works your legs and hips to add strength and prepare for delivery. The second builds your upper body to maintain good posture and improve everyday comfort. The third, a floor segment, includes stretches and breathing along with abdominal contractions and kegel exercises to make labor easier. Postnatal: The first section works your upper body and arms. The second workout reshapes your lower-body and buttocks. The third, all-floorwork program, strengthens and flattens your abdominals. Nicely cued by Nancy Popp, during and after her own pregnancy. Requires 1 to 3 lb. dumbbells (or they just use water bottles). ©2000. DVD has: Chapter menus, Narrow screen.

Quick Fix: Pre & Postnatal Workouts

Not my favourit
Didn't challenge me enough and seemed very out dated. Some of the workout were ok but I didn't feel like I accomplished much by the end of it. Even for a person like myself that didn't work out much before my pregnancy, a little more sweat would've been nice. - posted by Seyleen on 7/29/2010
Good Toning and I LOVE the 10 Minute Segments!
I really enjoyed this one! I found the VHS version of the Prenatal workouts, and tried all 3 tonight. I like that they are mostly standing (I'm 34 weeks and it's harder now to feel comfortable on the floor). The only thing I didn't care for was the upper body work where you are on your knees, but I can modify that to just standing and leave out the parts in between where you transition to "all fours". Earlier in my pregnancy (like even just a few weeks ago) this would have been totally fine all the way through, but now I just don't like to get down on the floor. Although, the last segment is seated on the floor and I had no problem with that, with the exception of just one move that I modified (instead of leaning back on elbows I just leaned back supported more upright with my hands). I really enjoyed all the toning moves and everything felt good. Plus I like the 10 minute segments and the countdown clock, which helps with motivation! I might want to upgrade this to DVD. - posted by Andelyn on 7/28/2009
Quick and felt good
I'm 18 weeks and just finished the prenatal workout. It is really good. I enjoyed the strength training for the upper back and shoulders. Quality. - posted by Christy on 4/2/2009
Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
