I have YOU: Having a Baby: The Owner’s Manual to a Happy and Healthy Pregnancy and DVD. I consider myself in pretty good shape. I worked out a lot prior to my pregnancy. Running, yoga, pilates, resistance training. I started this workout in my first trimeser. Enjoyed it. Moved onto my 2nd trimeter… this is the same workout that they have in the book – I *love* it. If I don’t do it at home in the AM I do it at work w/ pages I copied from the book at the gym. It really is a great workout. My husband swears its sculpting my arms. I do it usually every other morning 3-4 days a week. I alternate w/ 10 Minute Solution: Prenatal Pilates.
This workout is great for me in the mornings prior to work. I feel like a few of them get my heart rate up and my body moving. Very important for me as I sit at a desk for the majority of the day before I go running after work. (Yes I still run.)
This workout and the book are my two favorite items I have bought to help me stay healthy and prepare me and my body for birth and parenthood.
The sections include:
1st Trimester
2nd Trimeser
3rd Trimester
Post Delivery Notes (eye opener!)
PP Workout
It really is a full service DVD that is great.
Thank you!

I was a little wary buying a workout with no reviews and little in the way of a preview. Some of these pregnancy workouts feel like little more than breathing exercises. Not so with this video! This was back-ordered and I just got it…in my second trimester. (I was so sick in my first trimester that I am not sure I could have done it anyway so Amazon gets a pass on that one.) So I can’t comment on the 1st trimester workout.
2nd trimester: It’s a real workout! There are different levels depending on how far along you are or how comfortable you are. The arm workout is good and so are the legs.
3rd trimester: Even though I haven’t done it yet, I previewed it. I’ve been pregnant before and it’s reasonable for how heavy and, at times, in pain you can be that trimester. There’s a lot more sitting, but it’s good for, if nothing else, keeping the motivation and habit up, which is probably about as much as you can expect towards the more exhausting end.
Post-delivery notes: This section was a surprise, but a welcome one. It includes exercises you can do “the day you deliver as long as you haven’t had a c-section and then you need to check with your doctor.” I loved the idea of getting started right away. It’s not a workout to get you back in your skinny jeans a week after you deliver, but rather simple exercises you can do to help feel a little stronger and normal again. There is also a comprehensive explanation on how to figure out if you have a diastasis.
PP Workout: Also looks reasonable and good, though may not be used for long if you have bigger goals. After my first baby I remember getting winded on a 6 block walk and had to work at getting my strength back. This is the workout that can bridge that gap.
There is a lot of repetition of how careful you need to be with weights and such, but that’s to be expected. Ultimately, it’s a very reasonable price for workouts that will actually take you through the whole pregnancy.
