Certified instructor description: Pregnancy-modified Pilates. With three separate programs, you’ll do the workout that’s right for your stage of pregnancy. The first trimester features near-standard Pilates (e.g. a classic on-your-back double leg stretch). But for the second and third trimester, you’ll avoid pressure on your vena cava by lying on your side or using an incline made of blankets and pillows (e.g. now the leg stretch is on the incline, working just one leg at a time). And the exercise goals also progress — from ab strengthening in the first trimester to low back pain relief in the third. Includes some traditional dumbbell toning routines (they use soup cans for weights). ©2002. DVD has: Chapter menus.

Prenatal Pilates

Clear explanations very helpful

I have only done the first trimester exercise program of the Sarah Picot "Prenatal Pilates" DVD. I found it to be very simple (not simplistic) with excellent explanations. I have done Pilates in the past, but only at a beginner's level. This instructor explained body positioning very clearly (appropriate for a beginner). She even explained the Pilates method better than on my other beginner-level DVD. Sarah's voice is so calming and she explains all the movements well. I felt very relaxed but energized after the workout. I peeked at the second trimester segment, where Sarah shows you how to build an incline out of blankets and pillows so that you will not be lying flat on your back (OK in the first trimester, but not beyond). Given that the first trimester exercises were not too tough, I'm sure that the second and third trimester routines will be good, too. This is definitely for the beginner. I found it challenging enough and appreciated the help with technique. I will be able to execute some Pilates moves better now. - posted by Helen on 1/18/2012

Disappointed

I have done the 2nd trimester phase of this workout 2 times now and I feel like I am doing NOTHING! I understand that I am pregnant so I can not exercise like I used to, but what is the point if I don't feel like I've done anything afterwards Also, there are a few exercises that require you to stand against a wall for support...I have very little clear wall space because of the way my house is set up. I really can not even do these exercises properly. I am going to continue with this program (skipping the wall portion I guess) just to be able to continue with some sort of pilates training thru my pregnancy but I can't wait to get back to the normal workouts! I have an aerobic video for pregancy as well which I'm not fond of...maybe these videos are great and it's just the frustration of an avid exerciser who is not allowed to work to her full ability talking! - posted by Wendy on 11/10/2004

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.
