PILATES IN PREGNANCY (DVD 2003)

Pilates was recommended by the Physio who took my ante-natal class, so I decided to check this one out - this is an easy to understand routin which gives good exercises and also invloves relaxation - which is lovely!!

I really enjoyed this DVD. I was struggling in my first couple of months of pregnancy with sickness but still wanted to try and do some exercise. Most antenatal pilates/yoga classes don't start until after 13 weeks but many pilates postures aren't suitable during pregnancy so I was looking for a specific antenatal dvd that would be safe for me to do at home.
The great thing about this DVD is that it is split into sections depending on which trimester you are in, in addition to a warm-up and post-baby workout. I've done pilates on and off before and know that its regular sessions that really help buid up your strength and flexibility - i felt nicely stretched after the first session and look forward to continuing the DVD throughout my whole pregnancy.
This is highly recommended and you don't need to have done pilates before as all postures are clearly explained. Excellent!

This is a good DVD and i enjoy doing the exercises.Im at the point of my pregnancy where i can do the late pregnancy workout and to be honest there are only 12 excercises and i think it could do with a few more.By the time the exercises are over i feel i am only warmed up.At my Pilates classes we use the Gym Ball and the Pilates band and it would be good if thee were introduced but it is a good DVD and if you are thinking of buying it then i reccomemend that you do
