Certified instructor description: A stability ball and resistance band are used to strengthen every pregnancy-related muscle group. The workout is designed to improve alignment, reduce stress and make everyday activities less frustrating (e.g. improved balance as you bend forward). The equipment usage is always pregnancy-specific. The ball helps you achieve the most comfortable and effective body positions. The band boosts resistance and maximizes deep-muscle stretching. The workout ends with a soothing guided relaxation segment. Note: The program starts with a separate “pre-workout” pelvic floor section. Requires a stability ball and a resistance band. ©2010.

The Belly Beautiful Workout

prenatal workout
I was previously doing the Jeri Love workouts. This one isn't as challenging but it is a nice modifier for your changing body! I am about 1/2 way through my pregnancy and have been using this video more, I recommend it :) - posted by jd on 3/23/2012
Feels good to do at almost 20 weeks
A little more challenging and a few more reps than Denise Austin's Pregnancy workout (and I haven't counted, but I'm hoping Patricia counted the reps evenly! It seemed even.). A little different too, since Patricia uses a ball and band. I liked nearly all the moves. My band isn't long enough on one exercise where she places the band under her feet and brings her hands over her head, so instead I use light dumbbells for that exercise, and that works fine for me. I feel a little awkward placing the ball beside me to lean on while doing leg lifts, but right now it's doable (not sure how that will go as my belly gets bigger). She does say you can do it on the floor, I believe. Overall it's good and I like that she does quite a few plies, lunges, and squats. And I like that the lunges are stationary (you just get into position and go up and down doing the lunges). I feel it's a very safe workout, very do-able, very pregnant specific, and I'm even a little sore after using it once (haven't worked out in almost 4 months). - posted by Andelyn on 1/14/2011
"must have" for mommies to be
At Last there is a DVD that isn't just yoga based. I love this DVD, it's inspiring and is great to pop on when you have some spare time to yourself. What a great mix of exercises. It's superb how you embrace pregnancy and work with what you have. There is no need to feel unfit when you are pregnant. This Belly Beautiful DVD kept me feeling great during all stages of my pregnancy and made it easier to bounce back into shape after my son was born. THANKS! - posted by Skye on 5/30/2010
Reading a Time Graph
X
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.
