I am a huge fan of any DVD’s Lindsay Brin creates. This is a summary of my success with her videos- when I got married, I weighed 115. After my first baby, I couldn’t get below 128. (I ran and worked out like crazy trying to lose my baby weight). I heard about these DVD’s after my second baby and after 6 months, I was down to 106 lbs (which is a great weight for my 5’2″ height)! I haven’t been in this great of shape since my freshman year of high school!!!! I never imagined losing this much weight and never actually intended to! It just happened as I did her DVD’s three times per week. The BootCamp 2 DVD is great and I love it. It has several workouts to choose from and includes core exercises, cardio, and toning (all of which are crucial for weight loss; as is changing your workouts- which she gives you so many options, you can change often). So worth $20! I would’ve paid $100 to get the results I had been waiting 2 1/2 years to get!!!! You can’t go wrong buying this. It’s a fantastic workout that continues to challenge me after months of using it!!

This DVD is perfect for getting back into pre pregnancy shape. What I really like about Lindsay is her focus on the pelvic floor. This is key to a flatter belly. I wish I had know this ten years ago – if you are quad dominant (which I was) you tend to neglect the pelvic floor and ab muscles.
The total workout time is around 25 minutes long if you do the warm up, core, cardio and cool down. The 10 minute cardio segments are pretty intense. I was a bit hesitant before purchasing this since there weren’t many reviews. This DVD surpassed my expectations and I highly recommend it! I have a three month old and have been using this for two months, I love it and am 5 lbs away from returning to my pre preg. weight.

After 3 kiddos in 4 years I needed a quick workout. I used Lindsay Brin’s Postnatal Boot Camp after babies 2 and 3 and got my body back very quickly. And then I was looking for more, and I found Boot Camp 2! I love it!
My favorite part is that I can mix n match the workout. Between 10 minute total body workouts and 5 minute core workouts. I know I should warm-up but sometimes there just isn’t time so I just select 2 of the 10 minute workouts plus a core workout. And I am sore the next day! But there is a 4 minute warm-up and 3 minute cool-down section I use when I’m not in too big of a hurry. Plus there are 6-10 minute workuts and 6-5 core workouts to choose from.
I read one of the reviews posted here that said there was no music (there is music on my DVD) and the workout was choppy. I found that untrue-its like postnatal boot camp where you can create the time of your workout. Like I said before I like to create a 25 minute workout, but you can create more or less with the menu options. And to make it easy Lindsay Brin offers the 8 week program-where she puts together the workout for you. It’s kind of like having your own personal trainer.
Lindsay is very knowledgable about the core and bellys after having a baby. A very refreshing instructor, not annoying and very knowledgable. She has a lot of good stuff to stay and on some videos I have to turn the instructor volume off cause I get annoyed. But I’ve been using Postnatal Boot Camp for a couple years and Boot Camp 2 for a few months and I love it!
And the workouts are intense enough that even if I only get 10 minutes I feel wonderful and get a good workout. And I workout a lot, so I think highly of a DVD that can still challenge me. And I don’t get bored cause there are so many workouts to choose from.
Highly recommended!

. I have lost inches all over, but the most exciting part is that this video works wonders on the waistline. No more huge belly bulge hanging over my jeans. I can’t say enough good things about this Bootcamp video. It has given me hope that I will return to my prepregnancy size as I am already well on my way there. Lindsay is a wonderful instructor, so encouraging and the DVD plan really eases you up into more difficult workouts. I have seen a huge improvement in my cardiovascular health, flexibility, balance and muscle strength. If you are a mom who is discouraged about your body don’t give up, just start this 8 week program and you will be so glad you did!

I ordered this video when I accidentally came across it while looking at some new Denise Austin videos. The reviews were so great that I fugured I would give it a try and see what happens. I am so glad I did! My youngest “baby” is now 4 years old and yet I had never lost the 30 extra pounds I’ve been carrying since giving birth. I was ready to give up, I really thought I would never be thin again. I decided to try the 8 week plan as given on the DVD, I am now in my 7th week and I am wearing jeans I haven’t worn in years

I love Lindsay Brin’s Bootcamp 2 for so many reasons!
1. You can do a complete workout in just 20 minutes, which is SO important when you’re a busy mom. You can do your workout while the baby is napping and still have time to do all the other things that need to be done!
2.It’s easy to follow. Some fitness DVD’s are so fast-paced it is impossible to keep up with them. Lindsay takes you through the workout slowly enough so that you able to do each exercise properly and not fall behind.
3.It doesn’t require any expensive fitness equipment. A lot of fitness DVD’s require special equipment. In Bootcamp 2, you just need a couple a couple sets of weights, and that’s it!
4.It’s effective. After only one week of following the 8-week program, I already noticed positive changes in my body!

I own almost two dozen aerobic and strength training videos. Some offer challenging workouts. Others were a waste of time and money. Fit Mama is my first pregnancy video (although this will be my third child). IT IS EXCELLENT! Here is a summary:INTRODUCTION – Leisa Hart first tells you what to expect in her video. She explains that the abdominal exercises have been modified to prevent the vertical muscles, the recti abdominis, from separating during pregnancy. Guidelines from the American College of OBGyNs are listed. Leisa recommends a frequency of 3 to 4 times per week, but completing one section at a time vs. the entire 60 minutes fit my schedule better.SALSA (20 min) – The setting is bare: one large room with hardwood floors and two glass paneled doors in back. The participants are separated into groups. Leisa, in her third trimester, stands in the center. On her left are two women in their second trimester. Two women in their first trimester are on her right. All movements in the Salsa portion of the tape, such as the mambo cha-cha-cha, are acceptable for moms at any stage. I salsa on carpet and find it sometimes tough to slide. When Leisa introduces a new move, she performs it twice, then asks you to join her. Her arm cues make it easy to follow along. She frequently asks, “How do you feel?” so that you can monitor your intensity level. YOGA FAT BURN (20 min) – This section helped ease my lower back pain. Leisa focuses on breathing techniques and stresses correct knee placement. In the Warrior position, the moms in the first tri put their hand on the floor, second tri put forearm to thigh, and Leisa places her hand on her thigh. But she suggest you do the position most comfortable for you. They complete 3 repetitions for each side.LABOR AND DELIVERY PREP (6 min) – Yoga ball and strap are optional. I had neither, but performed the exercises, like Kegels, with no trouble. Different variations for the ab exercises match the stage of pregnancy. PRENATAL STRETCH AND RELAX (8 min) – This sections includes cat stretches, breathing techniques, and positions for each stage of pregnancy. Leisa inserts helpful tips, such as the importance of laying on your left side to get nutrients to the baby.

I bought this video as the weather turned bitterly cold and I could no longer continue long walks outdoors. It is great for getting your heartrate up, breaking a light sweat, stretching and toning, and preparing for birth. The salsa section was a little hard for me to follow at first, but once I got the hang of it I found it a fun way to exercise. On the DVD, there are bonus sections about moves and positions to help you during labor, provided you are not confined to a hospital bed. I also like that once you know the routines, you can turn the narration off and just follow along with the music.One note, the “yoga burn” section is not really yoga. I like this section, but if you’re accustomed to practicing yoga you may find it to be quite different from your expectations. It is based on a few basic yoga postures, like warrior and mountain pose, but there is quite a bit of fast movement and no long, meditative poses.I use this video alternately with “Yoga Journal’s Prenatal Yoga” and find them to be excellent complements to each other. The Prenatal Yoga video has many quiet, meditative yoga poses (modified for pregnancy) to build strength and tranquility while FitMama is fast-paced and upbeat to build cardiovascular fitness.

I purchased and tried 3 prenatal fitness DVDs around the same time:
* Perfect Pregnancy Workout
* Prenatal Yoga
* Leisa Hart’s Fit Mama Prenatal Workout
Here’s how I thought they compared. (Note that I do yoga and walk regularly; while I enjoy dancing, I do not dance regularly. I’m not overweight.)
* Perfect Pregnancy Workout – 5 stars. Designed and narrated by a Cirque du Soleil acrobat (faint French accent), this video is my favorite of the three. The woman demonstrating the workout is about 8 months pregnant and in amazing athletic shape (visible muscle definition). The theme of this video seems to be preparing for birth and staying strong and fit. It has two sections: (a) workout and (b) instructions.
(a) After a mercifully brief cheesy earth-mother introduction, the yoga-based workout is vigorous yet flowing and straightforward, building incredible muscle strength, flexibility, and stamina. It includes squats, lunges, lots of ab work, lots of great hip stretches, kegels, lots of different arm strengtheners. At the end I am sweating, breathing harder, relaxed, and satisfied. The next day my muscles are sore (in a good way) and feel stronger. The music is world-beat without vocals, easy to exercise to.
(b) The instructions section is excellent as well. Animated anatomical graphics clearly illustrate diastasis, how to check yourself for it, and how to modify your workout to avoid further muscle separation, as well as exactly what kegels are. This part also explains in depth how to do the moves in the workout.
* Prenatal Yoga – 4 stars. Designed and narrated by a UCLA-graduated yogi, this video is my second favorite. Shiva is under 3 months’ pregnant in the demonstration but has women behind her in second and third trimesters. The theme of this video seems to be relaxing and preparing for motherhood. It has three sections: (a) workout, (b) massage, and (c) interview.
(a) The workout is much less vigorous than Perfect Pregnancy, but includes squats, lunges, many spinal twists, kegels (no deep explanation, just metaphor), lots of different stretches. At the end I am sweating a bit, relaxed, and satisfied. The music is new-age without vocals. For some reason, Shiva does not pronounce the “h” in “exhale” which can be distracting. Also the narration gets slightly out of sync with the demonstration in a few places, which can be confusing.
(b) The massage section is fabulous if you have a partner willing to watch it and give you one! Great techniques for feet, legs, back, and neck.
(c) Shiva explains her story in the interview, how her father named her after an Indian god, how she took up yoga in college, etc.
* Leisa Hart’s FitMama – 2 stars. I bought this on Amazon’s recommendation and I’m sorry I did. My biggest gripe is that this video doesn’t focus on smooth continuous deep breathing, unlike the other two DVDs. Leisa is a perky actress who does infomercials. She is 8 months pregnant in this but her body looks very different (thin, wiry) compared to the woman’s in Perfect Pregnancy (athletic). The theme of this video seems to be feeling better (sexier) about oneself while pregnant. It has basically two sections: (a) workout and (b) bonus stretches.
(a) The workout is much less vigorous than Perfect Pregnancy yet goes at a faster, more erratic pace than either of the other two videos. It has four parts: salsa dance, “yoga fat burn,” labor and delivery prep, and prenatal stretch and relaxation. The dancing is about 8 moves repeated, with a few squats. I feel foolish and bored doing this. The yoga fat burn is more aerobics than yoga, includes ab work, squats, no twists, never holds any pose for long, is repetitive. Labor and delivery prep includes kegels (no real explanation), many boring arm swings, ab work. Prenatal stretch and relaxation includes leg stretches, ab work, is repetitive. The music is salsa, soft rock, and world beat without vocals; very good workout music, loud in places.
(b) The bonus stretches are the best part, but are buried under Special Features (the DVD doesn’t seem very well organized). These include leg, back, hip and shoulder stretches actually held for several seconds, squats, plenty of rapid boring arm swings.
All three videos show women in different trimesters doing the exercises and mention appropriate modifications. All three videos explain how to do the exercises safely and how to recognize warning signs of overdoing it.
If you’re a yoga gal like me and you want to buy just one prenatal yoga video, get Perfect Pregnancy. If you want your partner to give you a great massage too, get Prenatal Yoga.

I was extremly happy to get this video and see that it is as good as the reviews are. Most importantly, it’s a new video, unlike so many of the pregnancy videos I’ve bought(and sold in garage sales or ebay). Leisa Hart was the perfect picture of pregnancy. She was beautiful to watch, graceful in her moves, and spunky in her salsa dance…I hope I can move like that when I’m in my last month carrying my lil baby. The other videos I’ve used just were boring, old, or not well thought out. It was apparent that Hart knew what she was doing. Since she has starred in 25 exercise videos, she knows how to interact on camera, which so many video instructors cannot do. I loved her style and personality, but most importantly i liked doing the exercises. Working out to a video has to be fun or else you’ll never do it again, and Hart made this fun by mixing it up with some salsa dance and a yoga toning set that was great for my problem areas, and then her labor tips and the stretching was so good, my body needed it. I loved this, and can’t say enough about how good it is to get a quality workout that was made recently…I can’t wait to see how see looks in her postnatal video, I bet she’ll look great, that little Buns of Steel woman! lol

Incredible, that’s how I felt after workout out with Leisa Hart the very first time, and now after doing her Fitmama video several times I feel even better about myself and my pregnancy. She incorporates such positive energy into her workout, I loved her style of leading the women throughout the workout and I felt like I was really being talked to by leisa, she is very encouraging and talked about safety during working out and about labor and delivery tips that helped her the first time(she looks incredible during her second pregnancy). It’s hard to stay motivated while prego, and Leisa seems to have a knack for saying the right things that women want to hear, she’s not annoying or overly perky like a denise austin or richard simmons, she’s a tony robbins leader in a christie brinkley or heather locklear body. I really looked up to her when she hosted different infomercials and liked her products, but I really love Fitmama and can’t wait to ge to delivery and see how much stronger I will be by doing this great workout.
