Fitness is important. {obviously} Not just for vanity but for health. This shouldn't stop when you find out your pregnant. It does take some altering, but physical health is extra important for mom... your now carrying new life, your body is going to change and your growing baby needs mom to be in good health for the challenges ahead. (this will include after pregnancy)
The Complete Pregnancy Fitness comes with 2 DVD's; Prenatal Fitness Fix and Postnatal Rescue. Staying fit, healthy and avoiding gaining more weight than necessary while pregnant has universally been a concern for women. This is not only great for pregnancy but essential for after baby as well. You can ease back into exercises without hurting or overextending yourself.
The Prenatal Fitness Fix offers workout for moms-to-be that are new to working out or have been working out and need to adjust their routine to suit the safety needs of their unborn child. Erin leads you in a 40 minute blend of fat-burning cardio, muscle toning, strength training, and tension relieving stretches. But also includes a 20 minute partner workout, which Erin demonstrates with her husband, James Denton (Desperate Housewives!)
The Prenatal Fitness Fix was amazing! I am not even pregnant just yet and it sure worked up a sweat! I may continue this until I get pregnant and during... and probably even after! What I loved most about the Prenatal Fitness Fix is it's done in your living room. She uses items that (most) people already have. A couch, coffee table, sturdy chair etc. There really is no excuse you can't try everything.
I loved the different camera views. She shows you exactly what to do and how to do it. {She even shows you what not to do.}
Postnatal Rescue: Erin O'Brien sets up 3 progressions for the Postnatal Rescue DVD. In just 15 minutes a day, you will rehabilitate your back, abdominals, buttocks, inner thighs, and hips; all the muscle groups affected by your pregnancy and delivery. Erin guides you through each progression and once you've mastered it, gently urges you to move on to the next challenge.
#1 is beginner, #2 is a little harder, and #3 is the most challenging. These are for after delivery when your just beginning to workout again. (usually 6 weeks, talk to your doctor). I really loved how she talks to you. Even on the bonus (First Stretches, which guides you from the very beginning of your recovery up to 1 year postpartum) how she speaks to you knowing you JUST had a child! She understands the demands of a new mommy, physically and mentally.
Erin O'Brien really knows a thing or two about prenatal and postnatal fitness. Not only does she accommodate real life circumstances; {ie: Bathroom breaks, WATER breaks} She also takes into consideration the fact that you just had a baby! I think my favorite line on the Prenatal Fitness Fix was, "If you have to use the bathroom, PAUSE ME... don't make me workout alone." Completely fun personality and easy to watch.
