A flowing series of no-nonsense strength, postural, flexibility and balance exercises. While it’s totally pregnancy-specific — with optional modifications to fit your trimester — this is a real intermediate workout (not just “dumbed down” routines). The standing section features fluid, full range-of-motion moves like squats and knee lifts. The floorwork includes planks, pushups, leg circles and glute presses. It ends with a medley of gentle stretches and music-only relaxation. The entire program is well-sequenced with smooth transitions and lots of movement variety. Calm, one-on-one cuing by pregnant instructor, Suzanne Bowen. The DVD also has a 10-minute post-natal segment. ©2009. DVD has:

Suzanne Bowen's Long & Lean Prenatal Workout |
 tough! |
| this is a tough workout! it is high-reps body-weight toning, similar to what you would do in a dance or pilates class. it is much harder than i thought it would be. i enjoyed the workout and felt challenged. i could not do some of the poses because my belly got in my way, and i felt she should have shown some modifications for later pregnancy, but overall it is an effective workout. a nice quiet pace, but you definitely feel the burn! - posted by susanne on 1/21/2010 |

| Really Enjoyed This! |
| Okay, now this is my cup of tea. I started working out again at around 4-5 months (first trimester was hard with the nausea) and used Denise Austin's Pregnancy workout mainly and also parts of Leisa Hart's. I got bored of those. Tried many yoga ones, and my favorite was Yoga Mama. But nothing was really motivating me to workout. I just tried this and I think it really has motivational power -- I'm likely to want to do this again and again. I wish I had started with this one earlier. I LOVED the standing work!! It's very ballet-like and flowing (think "ballet workout", or "Ellen Barrett style"). I could feel my muscles working, and I think it will help my strength in labor and just getting around now. That segment is perfect for my 32 week very round, growing belly. In the Floor section, I could not comfortably do all the exercises in that, so I will be skipping that now (I'm just too big in the belly, but earlier in my pregnancy I would have enjoyed it). Also, not all of her stretches are geared to ladies who are far into their pregnancy during her Stretch segment. She is small and not very far along. For example, she even does Pigeon Pose like in yoga. That is not going to happen with my big belly! But this still gets the maximum stars from me because the Standing Work is perfect and different, and I feel it will help my balance and my strength. I felt really good after doing that and some of the stretches. I highly recommend!! And if you are early in pregnancy, the entire workout should work extremely well until your belly begins to get too big. - posted by Andelyn on 7/15/2009 |
