Rating: - I Really LOVE This Workout!
I have enjoyed this video SO much! Not only do I feel 100% better after every workout, but I have noticed my overall energy level improve. It had been well over a year since I last worked out and I was out of shape, but it has been easier (while still being effective) than I had anticipated. I heard from some that the salsa workout was "pointless", but I would HAVE to disagree! It's the most fun part of the video! The first time that I used it, I found myself smiling because I was actually enjoying myself (unlike other workout videos where I find myself wondering "Is it over yet?!" within the first ten minutes.) I work up a sweat without feeling like I'm doing too much, too fast. It really does go at a nice, steady pace. Lisa Hart is not too annoying to watch (as some instructors can be) and it makes it so nice that she is in her last trimester. She encourages you to go at your own pace and to remember that this workout is to keep you fit during pregnancy and to prepare you for childbirth, not as a method of weight loss. I purchased this video at the end of my second trimester after having researched all the videos that were offered. I know that I began a bit late, but I figured that some amount of working out was better than nothing at all. I have been happy not only with the workout, but with the fact that it is not so intense that I feel intimidated. Along with this video, I purchased Prenatal Yoga with Shiva Rae (LOVE that video as well). However, unless you really enjoy yoga and meditating (as I do), you don't need a seperate yoga video. Lisa's Yoga Fat Burner is just perfect! Again, not too much, too fast and she encourages you to go at your own pace. The pace is steady and relaxing, yet it still gives you a workout. This video gives you a well rounded workout. One that is perfect not only for pregnancy, but one that would be perfect for the first few months after pregnancy, when your body not yet ready for intense levels of workout. Not only would this help to prepare you for that time, but it will help it along a lot faster. I highly recommend this video for people of all fitness levels as well as mothers of all trimesters.
Rating: - loved this tape, very powerful
I'm not usually one to rant and rave about the quality of something, but I've had my FitMama video for a few months now and it is absolutely been a godsend with my pregnancy. I feel as good as I could feel being fat and pregnant, but the funny thing is I'm not as fat as I was with my first 4 kids. Leisa is very powerful, she's almost a female Tony Robbins she is so encouraging. She's not annoying or over sassy, she's just good at what she does. I was so happy to find this video, I've used her Buns of Steel videos from years ago, but had no idea what happened to her and I see, she's been busy starting a family and staying in great shape. This was a great video and I wish I could personally thank her, she's made this pregnancy seem so much easier with all of her tips and pointers, and the incredible workout that I like doing, which is almost an oxymoron, how many people really like working out? Ok, i don't hate working out, but it can be a drag at times. FitMama is always a refreshing workout, I fel so good after doing the stretching portions. God bless America, and people who protect us! And God bless people who stay in shape and make great videos, thanks Leisa!
Rating: - nice to see a NEW pregnancy workout that is so good
I was extremly happy to get this video and see that it is as good as the reviews are. Most importantly, it's a new video, unlike so many of the pregnancy videos I've bought(and sold in garage sales or ebay). Leisa Hart was the perfect picture of pregnancy. She was beautiful to watch, graceful in her moves, and spunky in her salsa dance...I hope I can move like that when I'm in my last month carrying my lil baby. The other videos I've used just were boring, old, or not well thought out. It was apparent that Hart knew what she was doing. Since she has starred in 25 exercise videos, she knows how to interact on camera, which so many video instructors cannot do. I loved her style and personality, but most importantly i liked doing the exercises. Working out to a video has to be fun or else you'll never do it again, and Hart made this fun by mixing it up with some salsa dance and a yoga toning set that was great for my problem areas, and then her labor tips and the stretching was so good, my body needed it. I loved this, and can't say enough about how good it is to get a quality workout that was made recently...I can't wait to see how see looks in her postnatal video, I bet she'll look great, that little Buns of Steel woman! lol :-)
