Easy to follow and a very good workout!

This is a GREAT pregnancy workout DVD! The exercises are easy to follow for first-time viewers and I love the modified exercises for more advanced workouts. It's good cardio AND good strengthening, for exercisers of all levels. I love the little bits of yoga she throws in there, too, for relaxation. Very motivating DVD (and the music is perfect, too).

What's your fitness level?

This is a great workout depending on your fitness level. I needed more cardio and more repetitions, but the exercises in and of themselves were great. This workout is probably best for beginners or slightly advanced. If you are used to working out and don't have any pregnancy problems this is probably too easy - it certainly was for me.

Definitely challenging, but you have to like this kind of workout

This is definitely an intense workout that does what it intends to: sculpt and tone. However, you have to enjoy this kind of workout, which involves a lot of repetitive motion like lunges, squats, and so on that really work your muscles but can be boring. I'm a swimmer and practice yoga and prefer the fluidity of those routines compared to this. However, the first time I did this video, I had to rest at points (I was about 14-15 weeks pregnant) because I was so tired (and not used to this kind of workout)! I was also sore the next day, but I haven't done it since and I'm at 20 weeks now. I'm sure that if I did it regularly (which I should), I would be sculpted and toned, but I just get kind of bored with the format. Well-done, but you have to like this kind of exercise to want to stick with it.

Purpose of Perfect Pregnancy Workout

I've read a few of the not so positive reviews and I thought it would be nice to clarify what this video is for.
This video is NOT an AEROBIC WORKOUT, and it is NOT going to make you look like the instructor (a former Cirque de Soleil acrobat). The purpose of this video is to keep your muscles toned until you have your baby. It will be much easier to lose weight and get back in shape AFTER your baby is born if your muscles are toned.
What is considered difficult and what is too easy depends on what kind of shape you are in to start with. If all you are doing is aerobic (walking, swimming), then any kind of strengthening exercise might seem difficult. If you are a body builder and are as buff as the instructor, you probably won't even break a sweat.
Always talk to your doctor before you start. If you've NEVER exercised, it is definitely a wise idea to speak to your doctor about starting any kind of workout.
It has an upper body, lower body, and abdominal workout, plus Kegels, with beginner, intermediate and advanced levels.
I think it comes pretty close to "Perfect" if you are looking to tone muscles.

Don't let her arms scare you!

I was hesitant to buy this video because the woman on the cover has such manly-looking arms. It kind of freaked me out. But I bought it based on the positive customer reviews and I'm so glad I did! I was 5 1/2 months pregnant when I got this video and started with the beginner level of all the exercises. I'm still on the beginner level, but I like that she gives an intermediate and advanced level as well. Her French accent keeps me from getting bored while I'm listening. I watched the instructional section before doing the workout and it helped. I feel like I could continue doing this video (the advanced level) even when I'm no longer pregnant. I was satisfying-ly sore the day after doing the video.
