Prenatal Pilates: Tone & Tighten with Caroline Sandry

I think that the instructor, Caroline Sandry, is brilliant. This is the reason why I purchased this workout DVD. I previously brought her Pregnancy Pilates (Strengthen & Sculpt) workout and loved it so much that I snapped up this one. This DVD is another winner. I love the pace of the exercises and really commend Caroline on her instructions. I am someone who gets easily bored of DVD workouts e.g. music, surroundings and instructor. However, this DVD is not annoying at all and I am really able to relax and unwind as I go through the exercises. I would recommend this DVD to beginner to immediate fitness levels. The workouts are not strenuous but they are effective and great for individuals who are looking to stay supple, strong and fit during their pregnancy. There are even troubleshooting sections that pregnant women commonly have to deal with such as back pain and anxiety.

Great work out, I'm currently 25 weeks and I'm starting to find it a little exhausting

The workouts are quite good, but the movements are far too fast. It's almost impossible to keep up with the instructor. There should be more breathing space allowed.

This DVD was the perfect workout solution for me in late pregnancy when, after dashing around until that point, I could suddenly hardly walk! However I still really wanted to do a little exercise and so Caroline's chair workout was the perfect solution. I got back into my jeans 3 weeks after a difficult labour and I'm sure I have Pilates to thank for keeping my stomach safely toned. I would recommend this DVD to all pregnant ladies out there, for a thorough but gentle exercise routine.
