Certified instructor description: Three short workouts you'll do with your 2 to 8-month-old child. It's a great way to get back into shape as you bond with your new baby. The cardio program is done with your child in a front baby carrier. The movements are slow, graceful and super-easy-to-follow. The all-standing toning workout is core-focused; it's done with your child in a stroller or bassinet. The "calm" program is the most interactive. Seated on the floor, you'll play with your baby as you gently stretch your entire body. ©2010. DVD has: Chapter menus, Wide screen.

Ellen Barrett's Happy Baby, Fit Mama

Excellent Video!

My 7 month old son (20lbs) and I love this video. He thinks it's hilarious that we're doing the same things as the Mommy and baby on the TV. When it's time for the second section I put him in his bassinet with a bunch of toys to keep him busy and he likes that too. Then he usually gets a little restless during the third part but he's usually not too bad. It's a nice relaxing way to get some exercise in. My thighs burn after the 1st section and I can definitely feel my abs after the second. The third section is really invigorating. I love it and would recommend it to any new Mom. - posted by Sandra on 2/15/2011

Not a Mom but LOVE this workout!

I'm not a mom, but I love this workout! I only do the first two segments. I find them absolutely perfect after a very long day when I don't have much time or feel like working out, when I'm not feeling too well but still feel like I want to do something, or whenever I want something very light but still very refreshing. The first 10 minute cardio session is super light since I'm not holding a baby in a baby carrier. I can add weights to add some more resistance. I'd add a weighted vest if I had one. I do have a weighted belt. I use both arms when she only uses one, and I put all my energy into it. The second 10 minute standing ab work session is also lighter than I'm used to but I'm getting the same intensity as Ellen since there is no added resistance. I think I'm even getting a better workout because I do not hold on to a stroller or anything, so I'm getting a better workout for balance. Overall, I really enjoy these 2 segments. I did both of them twice tonight. I feel refreshed just as I do after all my Ellen workouts. She's awesome! - posted by Star on 10/5/2010

Good video

I like this video as far as working out with baby for the back pack and stretching but in order to do the stroller part your baby has to be asleep. - posted by Launa on 8/19/2010

Adorable video and great standing ab workout!

I bought this for my niece but love to do it myself with my favorite great-nephew. Excellent workout and good way to introduce the little one to a life long healthy lifestyle. It's Ellen thinking outside the box again :). - posted by Pamela on 4/22/2010

LOVE IT!!! PERFECT for new Moms!

I just tried the last 2 segments with my 6 month old baby girl, and it's so much fun! I did the standing abs segment with my baby in an infant seat (she was awake and watching me while she was holding a toy) and I didn't use anything for balance, but I didn't feel like I needed that help. For the stretch segment I held my baby exactly as Ellen does with her son. I think my baby really liked that interaction as we were sitting together and stretching. I gave her a little toy in the beginning to entertain her, and then while she was on her back (just like Ellen's baby) I think she liked watching me and getting the attention. I copied how Ellen tickled her baby, kissed her baby, etc., and it was fun! A nice way to stretch and the ab segment was a nice challenge for someone like me who has had a hard time finding time (and energy) to workout. I LOVE that she includes her baby in these short workout segments so that it is possible to workout with the baby watching (or sleeping, if the baby is asleep, which mine probably won't be at 6 months). I wish I had this from the beginning because I'm going to use this now until my baby won't cooperate any longer! :) (soon she will be crawling and won't be as stationary as she is now) I really want to try the cardio segment, but I don't have a baby carrier like Ellen uses. My cousin said she had an old one she doesn't need anymore, so maybe that will work for this. If not, I think I might buy one because it just looks like so much fun for both Mom and baby! I HIGHLY recommend this for new Moms! It would make an excellent gift for a baby shower too. - posted by Andelyn on 3/12/2010

Comments:

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Chapter menus

You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).

Wide screen

The program fully fills a wide-screen television screen. Note: These videos will display black bars at the top and bottom on a traditional 4 x 3 ratio TV screen.

Level

Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact

Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography

Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis

Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Specialty: Pregnancy
