It's OK

There were parts of the video that I liked and some that I didn't. I had wished the pilates section was a bit longer and there was more time dedicated to core exercises. April 6, 2008

Not for Everyone

I was very disappointed in this postnatal workout DVD. I began using the yoga portion at just a few days postpartum. As a yoga practitioner of several years, I can honestly say it in no way resembled any yoga I had ever participated in - it was just a few poses over and over again. Terrible. As I regained strength, I tried the dance/cardio segments. I'm sure would have liked them if I had any background in aerobics or dance, but I don't, so I had no idea what she was talking about and she didn't describe it very well (what, for example, is a grapevine?). The pilates section required props, as did the yoga, which I did not have on hand at my house. If you are serious about yoga, or have limited dancing and aerobics background, or don't have the room or $$ to buy a bunch of props, this is probably not the DVD for you. I will give Leisa props for being high-energy and for the DVD including multiple types of workouts, but overall it was a waste for me. February 27, 2008

Just what I was looking for

I was very happy with my purchase because it was just the right level of work out for me. I like how it is broken up into segments since I usually get interrupted by a crying newborn and I can easily do the workout in parts. July 8, 2007

The Best! I actually look forward to it.

I've never stuck with workout videos for more than a couple of weeks, but this one is great. I look forward to doing it. The dance steps aren't anything fancy, but that just makes you be able to concentrate on what you're doing rather than trying to keep up with complicated moves. When this video is over, I feel so great. And in just 2 months of using it, I've seen an improvement in my energy and flexibility. I wish I'd gotten her pregnancy video. The little bit of the video that your supposed to be able to do with your baby isn't really that great. My 4 mo old gets bored. But- over all, definitely a winner. June 3, 2007

I liked it

I liked this workout video because it does a good job of easing the body back into exercise. Leisa is a fun and good instructor and I didn't get tired of working out to this even after working out to it 3 times a week for 4 weeks. It is too easy once your body is back into shape, but it was fabulous at the begining. March 20, 2007
