Summary: Not as vigorous as I expected
Comment: I was disappointed with this video. The workouts are too short and it doesn't seem like the trainer does enough reps. I've got all the equipment needed, but the pace at which we're expected to switch gears is annoying. Gabrielle Reese has her trainer handing her the weights, band and ball but those of us doing it at home aren't so lucky. I feel like I spend half the workout keeping track of my equipment. That said, I do think it has stregthened my back and abs and Reese is pleasant enough on camera. I wouldn't buy it again though.

Summary: Awesome workout
Comment: Before my pregnancy, I was already doing core exercises, therefore had all the equipment needed. So it was an easy transition, since I was already doing similar exercises. I like how the workouts are only 15 minutes and move from one exercise to the next. I've also found that during the day I can easily do some of the stretches learned.
I feel great afterwards and get a great stretch. Since my husband is a physical therapist, he is always telling me how good posture prevents back pain. These exercises definitely help you focus on your posture and strengthen the muscles that support your back.

Summary: great workout
Comment: great workout for the preggers out there just one thing I wish they would mention what kinds of exercise equipment that you need before you start, such as stability ball, weights, bands and chair.

Summary: So-so workout
Comment: I have been lifting weights for about 6 months. Then the first trimester sickness and tiredness took over and I took about a 6 week break from weight lifting. Today was the first day I tried it and I used this video. There are positive points and negative points. The positive is that it's nice that every month (up to 6 months) you get a new workout. This keeps it interesting. I also liked that the trainer used different equipment, but then I own all the equipment he used and had it readily available. I thought that every exercise he did was new and different. I don't think there was really a single exercise he did that I've done before and I've been working out very regularly for several years. For the negative, it is not much of a workout. He says that while pregnant you want to lower the amount of weight and increase the reps, but in the video he does not increase the reps at all. Most exercises probably average 8 reps, maybe even 6. I think I'd have to do the video 2x to get a decent workout. On the plus side, it is very short, so those days you feel like you only have 15 minutes or don't have a lot of energy there is no excuse for not workingout. Another negative is that the video stops at 6 months, so you're left with no workouts for the next 3 months of your pregnancy (even though in the special features she says she wanted to do a video that covered all 9 months of pregnancy and post partum. Obviously not this particular video.)
Bottom line, if you have all the equipment ready to go and don't have a ton of high hopes in terms of getting a great heart pounding workout in, this is probably a good video to have for your pregnancy.

Summary: Very Disappointing, not worth it!
Comment: I have to agree with other reviewers on wishing I had a heads up to the amount of equipment I needed..and with such a SHORT workout, I found that it was very excessive to have so many different tools needed. I had been working out prior to my pregnancy so I found this to be a very easy workout as well. Just felt disappointed and not impressed at all.
