]]> Comment on Erin O’Brien’s Prenatal Fitness Fix by S. Thackeray http://www.TheLeaderGuy.com/newbie/erin-obriens-prenatal-fitness-fix/comment-page-1/#comment-289 S. Thackeray Tue, 19 Oct 2010 22:17:02 +0000 http://www.TheLeaderGuy.com/newbie/erin-obriens-prenatal-fitness-fix/#comment-289 I was so excited to try out this video, but I have to say I was very dissapointed. After the reviews I read I thought this was going to be a good workout. I don't think I broke a sweat once during the entire thing. I could have folded the laundry and had a better workout. I was 17 weeks when I tried this and running has become difficult with all the trips to the bathroom and some round ligament pain. I think this video is meant for people who eiether have never done any type of exercise before or who are in their 7th or 8th month of pregnancy. I am used to running about 20-30 miles a week so if you are expecting a good heart pumping workout from this you are going to be very dissapointed. Go for a fast paced walk instead. The quality of the video was fine and the music did not bother me. I have also purchased the video with Karen S, but have not tried it after I wasted 40 minutes on this one.

I did this video in my 23rd week and I never even broke a sweat. <br /> <br />The video is 40 minutes long. The first 10 minutes are a lame warm-up (as in step-touches). <br /> <br />The second segment is some moderately challenging lunges, squats, etc. However, there are several segments that tell you to drink water and then you get to waste your time watching Erin drink water. Wow, that gets my heart rate up. At one point, the video freezes, and "If you have to pee, pause the video" comes up on the screen. Really? <br /> <br />The third segment is some lame pilates - I could put together a better routine myself. <br /> <br />The fourth segment is stretch and relaxation - I turned the dvd off at this point, out of frustration. <br /> <br />The production quality is laughable - I really think Erin and her husband shot and produced this right out of their house. <br /> <br />Even in my ninth month, I'll opt for a brisk walk over this waste of time. <br /> <br /> Rating: 1 / 5 If you exercise regularly, please save your time and money.

Its an ok workout if I put her on mute and use my ipod. By the way who is on the cover? It looks like an entirely different person one you put the dvd on. Her stomach is hanging out and I just found her revolting. She needs James Denton to come on just so people will buy this. I tried to pass it off to a pregnant friend of mine and she gave it back to me cause she couldn't stand her either- ya uh ha your ok your ok. I'll take Denise Austin anyday over this lady.

This is also a beautifully produced DVD that is quite evidently a safe and effective program for expectant parents.

Being pregnant is about staying healthy for you and your growing baby, not focusing on your weight and pant size. Those should be the last thing on your mind. As far a weight goes, try to stay with the guidelines of a weight gain of 25-35 pounds, and don't freak out if you a gain a little more! i feel that most of us, me included, chose to do these work out to keep up with the unrealistic standards of the media. It seems that a ton of these mom gaina massive amount of weight and then magically drop down to their old sizes with in months. Look at Kate Hudson. It is reported that she gained way more than the recommended weight and she lost it all with three hour per day workout sessions. Starlets have trainers, nutritionists, and full time nannies to help them get red carpet ready. If you want some positive role models, look at Jennifer Garner and Jenny McCarthy. It took them over a year to loose the weight because they did it the healthy way. They were realistic and took their time. McCarthy credits weight Watchers as her key to success. This program helped me greatly with my post pregnancy weight loss. My complaints for this system... its too strenuous for our growing bodies, I hated the parts in which her Desperate Housewife star husband engages in the work out are a bit sexual, I felt I was watching a pregnancy guide to sex, and I thought it was hilarious when she was doing push ups, real push ups...are push ups going to get me ready for child birth? No! Rating: 2 / 5 What kind of DVD is this. it is way to rigorous for our pregnant bodies!

The case studies in each chapter are very real and allow for good reinforcement of the knowledge presented in the chapters. The book is organized well and allows good flow through the material.

However, it does cite Wikipedia as one of it's sources and this bothers me. Either the authors have no idea what Wikipedia is or they just don't care, but either way, it does not seem professional to cite this in a management textbook.
