Best video on the marketOct 07, 2009
By K. Hatcher This is the ONLY prenatal video you should even consider buying. Trust me, I have them all. I went through so many videos in my first trimester and finished them saying "I'm not dying, I'm just pregnant!" Finally, I found a video that had different workouts for each trimester AND they actually left me sore the next morning! Keri and Summer make you feel like you are working out with your friends at home. They have several different intensity levels that you can do if you are feeling tired or extra motivated that day. They keep you entertained and most importantly, keep you in shape. My body bounced right back after my second pregnancy. Literally, within 3 months I was back in my normal jeans and I feel I have this video to thank!

A Must for Pregnant GalsOct 15, 2009
By Lori O.
"Bflo Mom"
After struggling for a year to fit back into my clothes after my first baby, I vowed to take better care of myself with my second pregnancy. After reviewing several different prenatal videos, this one seemed different. Let me tell you, it's awesome! The trainer, Keri, does a great job of providing different workouts for your growing belly, and gives you the option of an express workout. (Helpful when I tried to use the excuse "I just don't have time today...") I never felt winded, but still got that great "workout sore feeling" the next day. Summer's 7 month pregnant belly motivates you to believe, "if she can do it, I can do it." I cannot believe how much better I felt during this pregnancy, and truly believe it was the reason why I had an easier labor with my second baby. I even worked out the morning I went into labor! I fit back into my pre-pregnancy jeans MONTHS before I did with my first baby, and I highly recommend this video for any pregnant gal.

LOVE this workout!Nov 20, 2009
By Mrz B I am 24 weeks preggers and absolutely love this video! I have another yoga video but I use this one on days I need a good workout and some movement! I love that it is broken down into trimesters and within the trimesters, there is a "Full Length Workout" (for days when you have LOTSA energy to spare) and "Express Workout"! Summer is so encouraging and is pregnant as well (which is always a plus, so you know they are dealing with the same issues). Her sis-in-law (Keri) is a personal trainer who adds some expertise to the video! The only things you need are a resistance cord, pillows, and a chair. The workouts are basic, nothing extreme! At the end, there is a great stretching section as well! You can't go wrong with this DVD! I just hope Summer & Keri come out with a post-pregnancy DVD!
UPDATE: I used this DVD faithfully throughout my pregnancy (eventually stayed with this DVD instead of the yoga one)! I cannot say enough for the energy this workout gave me plus the 'feel-good' effect it had on me! After all was said and done (and a healthy baby was born), I gained only 35 pounds! Which meant it was easier to get back in shape post baby!! And I attribute that in large part to this DVD!! (Still on the lookout for a post-pregnancy DVD with Summer!) Can't wait to use this DVD again!! ;)

Slow; not enough lower bodyJun 02, 2010
By Mother Brown This is an ok dvd. I'm on my 3rd pregnancy, and get bored of doing the same thing every day. Having different workouts for the 3 trimesters was a great idea. The instructors are bouncy and whimsical, horsing around with eachother in a very fake living room, but if you mute them, you'll be able to stand it. What I like about it is that you get a great upper-body workout; lots of variants on push-ups and arm curls etc. (she does them with straps, but I just use weights; seems to work fine). I definitely feel my shoulders and arms get the goodness of it. BUT here's what I don't like: I don't really feel anything much in thighs or butt. I want a proper workout for whole body, not just the top! After I do this, I'm still feeling like I need to go for a run; which I guess is a bit much for pregnancy, but even a brisk walk does something. Not enough cardio. There's standing around, having sips of water. If I only have half an hour before the baby wakes up, I don't want to waste it watching people having sips of water. I don't think a longish dvd ought to leave one feeling not-quite-exercised. The other problem I have is that it's not in segments, and it feels slow. I'd rather be able to pick a fifteen minute section for upper-body, say, and just do that in combination with something else, to fit into my schedule. So: it's kind of useful, I'll do it some more times, it helps keep my arms toned; but I wouldn't get it again.

Our first attemptSep 18, 2010
By The real Summer Hi All who have and are thinking of buying our dvd. Keri and I have read every single review and feel so badly we have let some of you down. All and all, I feel like our first attempt at an exercise DVD was a great one. We produced this ourselves...money out of our own pocket and tried our best to keep the production days to 2 so we didn't spend more time away from the kids than needed. Keri is such a fun and creative trainer and I feel like her workout is amazing. We do state that this isn't cardio...the best way to get in cardio, I found, is by walking or riding a stationary bike. After we shot the video, which we had so much fun doing...we realized that our "jokes" might not seem so "funny" the 30th time. We wish we had done a round without any talking at all. But, have you ever tried to do a 45 min workout without talking?? NO FUN! Anyway, lesson learned and if/when we do a follow-up, we will surely take all of your reviews into consideration. Good luck with your pregnancies...my kids are not 4 1/2 and 2 1/2!! Go get um girls!
