talk to me about workout videos

[pinkiemo]

I can't easily get out of the house to workout because of my work/kids school schedules. I've got a couple pregnancy workout DVDs but I'm not really a fan. They seem like mostly stretching and kegels. Mostly I'm just bored by them and how slow they move and how many times my vag is likened to an opening flower.

So talk to me about your fav workouts! 

Mostly I'm looking for something that will keep me from feeling like the blob as I inevitably feed my belly a giant bowl of chocolate lucky charms at the end of the day while watching bad TV.

Even though you can't get out of the house, maybe purchase some 10-15 lb weights, and do some arm curls, shoulder shrugs, lateral raises, front raises, etc. You can also do some lunges and squats with them.

As far as video recs, I suggest:

1) Prenatal Pilates - Strength and Sculpt:

2 Leisa Hart's Fit Mama -

HTH!

lgsdesigner That's mostly what I've been doing, squats and arms. I've got a non-pregnancy video I've been modifying, but it's getting old.

I would love to check out pregnancy pilates! That was my favorite workout pre-DD. I've got the Lisa Hart one, maybe I should look at it again but I remember not being a fan when I was pregnant with DS.

Thanks for the suggestions!

These are the 2 I have:

I've been enjoying both and don't find them too ridiculously easy. For both you need a set of 1-3lb dumbbells. And I like that both have enough short segments that I can easily put together at least a couple almost completely different workouts.

I really enjoy these 2 workouts They show beginner and advanced moves, but the way they switch back and forth is kinda distracting to me. Other than that, I really like the actual workouts.

definitely prenatal pilates/ prenatal yoga
I also love the Firm DVD's that I would modify

The 3 workout dvds I used most with DD (and am trying to get myself to use again this time around) are:

10 Minute Solution Prenatal Pilates (It has 5 different 10 min workouts to choose from. I'd usually do a few or all at a time. It's nice for when you're short on time but still want to fit something in!)
www.amazon.com/10-Minute-Solution-Prenatal-Pilates/dp/B000RIWARG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422905228&sr=8-1&keywords=10+minute+solutions+prenatal

Suzanne Bowen's Long & Lean Prenatal Workout. It's supposed to be inspired by prenatal pilates & yoga I believe.

The Perfect Pregnancy Workout Vol 1 (It looks really weird, and it was kind of strange quality-wise but it was an awesome workout! I definitely suggest it. It was made by an acrobat who performed in the Cirque du Soleil. and it's about 45 min long)
www.amazon.com/Perfect-Pregnancy-Workout-Vol-Sculpting/dp/B000BLKJ5E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422905141&sr=8-1&keywords=the+perfect+pregnancy+workout

This one is decent for some cardio. Yes, it's Denise Austin. She's annoying but enthusiastic.



She also has a toning pregnancy workout too.

I just searched You Tube and found a bunch. That way if I hate them, at least they were free.

I've done Jennifer Gianni's Fusion Pilates for Pregnancy my past 2 pregnancies but didn't love it.

I follow Gina Aliotti on Instagram, she had her baby but posted circuits while she was pregnant that you can do at home.
