Don't change your regular routine

I normally use Leslie Sanson's "Walk Away the Pounds" for about 30 minutes of light-moderate exercise. When I got pregnant, I thought it might be a good idea to switch to a workout specifically geared towards pregnancy. While it's certainly worth assessing your current workout to make sure it is safe, this one wasn't worth the money. I went back to "Walk Away the Pounds" after one workout with this video! They are very similar workouts in terms of length and muscle groups, but I find that Austin doesn't give very good instruction as to what she's doing - she just changes to a new routine all of a sudden and you're left trying to figure out the steps. If you already have a good active walking workout, continue doing that. If you're looking to add a good pregnancy-specific exercise routine, I really enjoyed the Tracey Mallett "3 in 1 Pregnancy Workout" as she incorporates pilates and yoga, but goes over what limitations you want to use if you're expecting.
Happy exercising!

Feel good well rounded workout

I received three pregnancy workouts in the mail today. Two were yoga ones and the other was this Denise Austin DVD. I'm not in great shape, but before I got pregnant (and super ill) I would run about 3 miles a week. Yoga for your pregnancy with Kristen Eykel had a lot of poses that looked so uncomfortable I wouldn't even try it. I hated it! Prenatal Yoga with Shiva Rea was much better, but neither one felt like a workout. Denise Austin's DVD not only got me sweating, but I felt my breathing open up, and she got in a lot of good stretching and toning. Plus you can customize your workout. I chose the 5 minute breathing and kegels, 20 minute cardio workout, and then 20 minute 2nd trimester toning, and it just plays those selections for me in a row, so I don't have to find the remote and manuver the menu repeatedly. All together 45 minutes for the workout I chose. Plus, I like her upbeat attitude. I don't think she's annoying at all. All those yoga people who talk so spiritual and mystical, and say things that make no sense put me to sleep. I like yoga but most of the time when they say things like, "Feel your pelvis open up..." or whatever I have no idea what they're talking about. I'm just in it for the stretching. Denise really made me smile, which I don't do when I workout normally. And she talks about the good you are doing so positively that I believed it and really did feel great and happy when I was done. Loved it!
