what to expect when you are expecting workout dvd :: review and giveaway combo

First off, I would like to start this post with…this is not an announcement about me being pregnant.  Now that that is out of the way, I’d love to tell you about a nice little workout DVD I recently received. 🙂

Here is a little overall description the DVD…their description is better than mine…

Hey there mama-to-be! Inspired by the perennial New York Times best selling book, What to Expect When You’re Expecting by Heidi Murkoff, comes What to Expect When You’re Expecting: The Workout debuting on DVD, Digital Download and On Demand December 4, 2012 from Lionsgate Home Entertainment. The ultimate pregnancy exercise program designed to help you fit fitness into all nine months of your pregnancy. With mix-and-match routines, you can customize your workout to fit your growing body.  Stay fit and firm throughout your pregnancy with cardio, stretch and strength workouts all available on the DVD…

Sounds pretty great, doesn’t it?  I don’t know about you, but I don’t like the DVD’s that have you doing the same thing over and over.  This one you can choose and mix things up!

Not only do you get workouts in this DVD, you get tips and exercising advice as well as reminders on kegels.  Hello!  Who couldn’t use more of those reminders when pregnant…coming from a momma of three who heavily relied on these 🙂  In addition, there are exercises you can do at your desk office.  I wish I had these when I was working!!

With six 10-minute mix-and-match routines, you can customize your workout to fit your fitness level, your mood and your growing body from day to day, week to week and trimester to trimester. Workouts include: 3 Cardio, 2 Strength and 1 Stretch & Relax — plus bonus workouts you can do anywhere, anytime. Staying healthy, fit and sexy when you’re expecting has never been so easy!

Cardio:

·        BAREFOOT & PREGNANT: Enjoy this gentle Pilates-based workout that focuses on balance, muscle strength and circulation.

·        BABY BUMP BOOT CAMP: Back-to-basics training to build stamina and strength for a healthier pregnancy.

·        BABY STEPS: Bust some baby moves with this sexy, fun, easy-to-follow dance routine.

Strength:

·        CUTE TO THE CORE: Fight aches, pains and flab while keeping your abs and hips strong and toned with Pilates-based moves.

·        BUNS IN THE OVEN: Target-tone your buns with this total-body workout designed to firm up your legs, buns and thighs.

Stretch & Relax:

·        MIND, BODY & BABY: Practice gentle yoga moves to help rejuvenate your aching body and tight muscles.

This DVD is good enough to recommend to my girlfriends, (one of my pregnant friends now has this!) so I’m sharing it with you too – my cyber-girlfriends.  Enjoy!
