If you're a mother-to-be, but need some kind of exercise other than downward-facing dog and mountain pose, Leisa Hart's FitMama may be the workout for you. Developed by the fitness instructor during her first pregnancy, the DVD involves not just stretching but salsa dancing, stretches, and breathing exercises shaped to ease some of the discomforts of pregnancy, get your body in its best physical form, and prepare itself for labor and delivery. The effortlessly perky Hart works out alongside several women in various stages of pregnancy to show alternative moves and postures. She doesn't constantly bark "You can do it!" but rather urges you to do whatever is comfortable. But even with the lack of pressure, you can still enjoy the hip-swiveling salsa steps while working up a good sweat. Then cool down with the breathing section and stretches. You'll need a mat and pillow. An exercise ball and strap (you can use a towel) are also used but not required. Whether you're just getting over morning sickness or nearing your due date, FitMama is a useful and fun way to stay in shape without leaving your house.-Ellen A. Kim

This is a good pregnancy video especially if you are not overly athletic. It is not overly challenging, but it includes the Salsa, Yoga and stretches. The instructor seems very knowledgable and is very positive and encouraging. It's fun to do the Salsa and I look forward to it. The yoga is very repetitive, but it's sort of nice because this way you do not have to think a lot about what you are doing. It does work out the hips and legs very well. It also includes labor preparation exercies and ... Read More

An excellent workout that I used throughout my pregnancy, up to two days before delivery. As other reviewers have explained, it is broken into several sections so you can do as much or as little as you like. Very easy follow I am aware that FitMama has been criticised for being repetitive - this was a bonus for me as my brain went AWOL during pregnancy. A safe, enjoyable workout that produced a light sweat and I didn't have to think too much about it!

I have only done the yoga workout, but it's the same basic moves over and over. By the fourth rotation I was looking for a new challenge, but never got it. For someone who's in pretty good shape, or who is use to a diverse workout this DVD won't keep you going.

I liked Leisa Hart and appreciated her energy level and bubbly personality. The workout itself was boring as it was VERY repetitive and I kept wanting to change it up a bit.

I got this DVD when I was pregnant with my first two years ago. I only did it a few times before switching over to a different tape. I picked it up again now that I am pregnant with my second, and after two times using it, I think I want to throw it out the window. It's just really boring. She introduces four different sequences and repeats them over and over again with no variation. Once you've done it, you've done it. I want more different exercises to do. I also feel like there isn't enough stretching, ... Read More
