Strengthen your body and maintain muscle tone during pregnancy safely and effectively with this fantastic UK physical therapist endorsed DVD. The workouts are sensibly paced, allowing you to keep good technique as you get larger - with an emphasis on precision. If you are new to Pilates or want to undertake a simple but safe maintenance programme whilst pregnant this DVD is for you. With a warm up, a workout for early pregnancy and one for later pregnancy, you can create a stronger body to cope with the physical changes whilst developing safe posture and movement.

A section on immediate post birth exercises also teaches you what you can do immediately after birth to regain muscle control and tone your abdominal muscles. Includes pelvic floor exercises.

Users feedback is that the DVD has eradicated back pain, prevented recurrences of pubic pain as experienced previously and aided control during labour.

A separate more challenging specific Post Natal product, ‘Pilates for Moms’ is also available from Enhance with physical therapist approval.
Customer Review: Cure for my tailbone pain!
I’m in my 15th week of pregnancy and suffered with intermittent but increasing pain in my tailbone for 2 weeks. I walk my dogs about 30-40 minutes per day and was moderately fit/toned all along so this pain was unusual. Putting socks and shoes on or picking up something from the floor was becoming severe agony. I was going to call my doctor to get chiropractic permission but I tried this DVD 1 time and it was like a switch that releived the pain. I felt 95% better immediatly after completing the warmup and early pregnancy portions of the video. I agree with some reveiwers that it seems a bit slow but go with the pace and you’ll feel the magic. It’s not for someone looking to transform their figure or get a good cardio workout- there are other great videos available for cardio lovers.
Customer Review: rent before buying!
After reading the reviews posted here I decided to rent it before buying. What a good decision! The pace is just painfully slow. The stretches are all very nice and very gentle, but to be honest I could not even finish it. It stops between all moves to introduce the next move, and while you can certainly fast-forward through those intros, it’s very annoying to have to do that. If you have 1.5 hours to kill and aren’t looking for a good-paced workout, then I guess this DVD would be good for you. I’ll never use it again, though. Learn More / Buy Now
