I was looking for a Pilates prenatal workout so this was not it.
This DVD is generally a good workout for a prenatal woman but I have found a Pilates workout for prenatal woman which is better than this workout. I would recommend that a prenatal woman looks for the Pilates workout for prenatal.

I love it. I’m only 14 weeks along and this video is kicking my butt! Granted I’m not in the best of shape, but this video is something I can see myself using throughout the entire pregnancy so that I can be the healthiest, most physically fit mother I can be. It is a fast paced video, but all the moves are pretty easy on the joints, even though I have loose, popping joints. Personally I find taking short breaks in between the sections necessary because of the pace. The DVD breaks the workouts into sections for standing (20 minutes), mat work (20 minutes), stretching (10 minutes), and has a bonus 10-minute postnatal ab section. There is also a music only option, for when you get sick of listening to the guide voice after the sixth time.
All in all, great pregnancy fitness option for people who want to get fit, but don’t want a video that goes too slow (like most yoga, IMO) or is too physically jarring.

This video is excellent. It’s challenging and moves quickly. I only wish that I would have started it earlier in my pregnancy.

I have been using Teddi Bryant’s Hot Mamas Workout every other day and started to get a bit cocky thinking I could easily do the Long and Lean workout without really noticing any burn…Wow…was I wrong! Long and Lean is a great workout. You don’t need weights…just the weight of your own body. I got a great burn in my arms and legs during the standing sequence. The mat sequence requires a lot of laying on your side and works on your balance which is very important during pregnancy. I have been looking for another challenging prenatal workout and I’ve found it! Thanks! I’ll be adding this to my regular workout schedule!

This is such a perfect workout! I love how it is challenging but doable! I also love that i can pick and choose the segments if i am not feeling up to the full workout! I love the stretching… it really releases stress and the little aches and pains of pregnancy! I always feel renewed and refreshed after this workout! Thank you both Suzanne and Leah for this inspiring and encouraging workout DVD! A must have for mommies!!!!!
