Yesterday I reviewed The Pregnancy Project DVD. While we’re talking about prenatal workouts, I figured I’d go ahead and review Hilaria Baldwin’s prenatal yoga DVD, Fit Mommy-to-Be Prenatal Yoga. I’ll be honest, I have mixed feelings about this one. Was it a waste of money? No. But are there probably better prenatal yoga DVDs out there? I would think so.
Pros:
- It’s easy to follow along with.
- The moves aren’t very complicated, so it’s great for beginners.
- The workouts are just the right length for me.
- It features variations for women in the first, second and third trimesters.
Cons:
- It almost feels a bit too easy. My thought on this is that it will be more effective for me the further I get into my pregnancy. When I first got this at about 4 weeks, I’ll admit I found it a bit boring. Now that I’m further along, I find the hip stretches really do help.
- It definitely doesn’t feel like a workout. But if you buy it with the mindset that it’s just for helping loosen up tight muscles, I think you’ll find this DVD useful.
I’d still say the positives outweigh the negatives for this one. I think whether you’ll like it will depend on your expectations and fitness level. If you’re very experienced with yoga, you’ll probably find this DVD boring. But if you’re just getting started, or further along in your pregnancy, I think you’ll find it useful.
