excellent postnatal workout and recovery exercises
This is by far the best postnatal DVD workout that I tried. The DVD is packed with exercises, stretches, informational interviews, and some guided relaxation.
This gave a nice series of workouts from the very first days after birth when I could barely move, to the time period up to several months after birth when I'm finally starting to feel back to my normal self.
This DVD provided excellent stretches, exercises and guides for posture. Also, they provide a nice set of printouts giving suggested workout sequences on one page, and then a whole series of pages writing up the exercises. I found this really handy when life was just too crazy with the new baby and I just wanted to get some exercises/stretches in between the many baby needs and could just take out the printouts and run through them (without needing to turn on the DVD player).
The way Lindsey Jackson explains the stretches and posture techniques is excellent. I actually remember and think about her suggestions as I go about my day (not just when I'm playing the DVD).
I highly recommend this one.
Great For Beginners
Whether you're completely out of shape or simply new to Pilates, Pilates For Moms is a great video for beginners. My only drawback is that I'd like to see the instructions shown in a separate segment instead of during the actual exercises.
That being said, Lindsey does a great job of making this video relaxing and powerful. She makes sure you understand the dos and don'ts of Pilates, how to modify moves, and how to listen to your body.
Yes, it's designed for mothers who've recently had babies, but Session 2 is geared more towards those who've had babies quite awhile ago.
I'm finding the video very helpful for my computer pains: lower back, neck and poor stomach muscles.
