Certified instructor description: A solid aero/tone program with a variety of exercises. Sure, Tonya Larson is in her third trimester and there are lots of pregnancy-specific options, but this feels like a “regular workout.” These moms-to-be are moving fast and having fun, not obsessing over their size and shape. The easy-to-follow cardio combos intermix aerobic favorites with simple dance steps (e.g. hamstring curls, grapevines, Mambos and chassés). The toning also features classic moves like lateral raises, kickbacks and modified ab crunches (e.g. seated and on your side ). Both the music and the cuing have a subtle Christian spirit. Requires 2 to 5 lb. dumbbells. ©2010. DVD has: Chapter menus, Wide screen.

Tonya Larson's Glow! Prenatal Cardio Sculpt

Loved it!
This video is exactly what I was looking for. It has cardio and strengthening segments. You can do together or separately. There is also a tutorial for some of the cardio moves which is very helpful since I'm not too coordinated :) The music is very refreshing. I cant really explain it but it put me in a peaceful state of mind knowing I'm exercising for my benefit as well as my baby. Her instructions are great! Easy to follow. Loved it!!! - posted by Raquel on 3/22/2012
Basic cardio but a little too easy
Gets your heartrate up and you feel as though you've had a decent workout afterward. Definitely low impact. I appreciate that Tonya has two other women working out with her to show modifications for earlier and later stages of pregnancy. They all seem very fit, but even Tonya gets winded by the end of the routine (for some reason I found that encouraging). The footwork is very simple (almost too easy) but as I move into second and third trimester and my balance gets off I may not object to that so much. The sculpting segment is not difficult at all. This is a good basic routine for simple cardio with unobtrusive music and a non-annoying instructor who gives clear cuing. No dread factor here. - posted by Helen on 1/18/2012
very good
I liked this video. She cues well, and right when I needed to catch a breath because of Baby, she would have us march & take a breath. Like all pregnancy videos I've seen so far, the choreography is a little boring. But, with all the hormones making our joints like stretched out rubber bands, that's a good thing, I guess. She is a Christian, and as a Christian I like that. However, if you didn't know she was Christian ahead of time and you didn't play the intro, but just started working out, you wouldn't notice. She's not screaming hallelujah after every grapevine. If you're looking for an advanced workout, this isn't it. This workout is gentle and safe; I'm not sweating buckets when I'm done, but I feel energized.....which is saying something given the symptoms THIS pregnancy has come with!! I am normally an intermediate exerciser, and I feel I'll be back to that post natal with the help of this workout maintaining my fitness. - posted by Nicole on 1/5/2012
Love this video
This video offers a great low-impact workout for moms-to-be. I absolutely love the inspiring music, I wish there were more videos like this. Time goes by quickly because the workout fun. This video is worth every penny! - posted by Jennifer on 11/13/2011
Good for beginner's
I thought this video was ok. It was a little too easy for me. I worked out very intensely and high impact before pregnancy and at the beginning. Now that I'm 32 weeks I'm definitely slowing down so I was looking for something a little less intense. This just took it down too much for me. I usually do regular workouts (Jillian Michaels type) and modify all the jumping and abs. Maybe in my last month, I may try this one again. I think it would be a good workout for a beginner. The arms were pretty good, just not enough for me. - posted by Kim T. on 7/22/2011
Love this video!!!!
This is the perfect video for expecting moms! It's not too hard to cause soreness the day after and it's not too easy that you cant feel the burn. I feel like I am really getting a good healthy work out doing this video. - posted by Elysia on 7/14/2011
So relaxing and fun!
I totally love this video! It's so easy and fun to follow! Tonya is such a calm enjoyable personality and the music is so fun and relaxing! I want to do it everyday and I always feel so good afterward. It's not too difficult but yet you still get a workout that feels good! I'm a former collegiate athlete and I know what a workout is! Also, this is my fourth pregnancy and I wish I had this video on my first pregnancy! I hope Tonya comes out with more including a postnatal workout! I have just loved this video! Thank you Tonya! - posted by Char on 3/24/2011
Wish I had this one last time I was pregnant!
My friend has this workout and I previewed the whole thing and I really wish I had this workout the last time I was pregnant 3 years ago. It is SO hard to find a good pre-natal workout that is challenging yet safe! Most are too easy, so I did mostly Leslie Sansone workouts. This would have been the BEST workout. If you are pregnant-get it! I would have! - posted by Tracy on 2/14/2011
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.
sample time graph
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.
sample time graph
Chapter menus
X
You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).
