Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: One baby hops in a suspended jumper and another relaxes in a swing while their moms help fitness instructor Becky Cortez demonstrate a 46-minute workout for new mothers. Cortez, herself the mother of four, includes a stretch warm-up, a 17-minute cardio workout, 12 minutes of toning and conditioning, an abs segment, and a cool-down stretch. While the cardio workout uses a step, one woman exercises without one. Cortez uses the current aerobic steps (Mamba, V-step, Charleston) and the pace provides a challenging post-partum workout from a few weeks after birth up until a few months. The toning segment uses an exercise band, and weights are demonstrated as well. In between segments, a heart rate chart appears on-screen when appropriate and Cortez waxes philosophic about the importance of exercise. The back cover of the video assures viewers that the trio assisting Cortez are mothers, not models, and, indeed, they are pleasantly real-looking women, albeit in terrific shape. One of the babies joins mom as Cortez explains how to do push-ups over the infants, another joins them for the cool-down segment, and all three babies make an appearance for the four-minute "baby play" at the end, which includes a little stretching and a little baby dancing. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Customer Reviews
Easy to follow, good overall body workout
I like this workout because it's easy to follow and learn and it includes the strength training and ab work. I do think it is better to have the step to do the routine. Once you get the routine down, you can do additional reps to make it more challenging.

i'd give it zero stars if i could, this isn't worth my time
i tried this to add soem variety to my post prego workouts, and i found it very disappointing....the workout really doesn't even include your baby, the bands are used, which are ok, but the whole concept of working out with your baby is exagerated here...i would save my money next time and skip this one.

poor instructor, misleading, baby is not involved
i tought this would be a workout that incorporated my baby, but it does not. It was a misleading title. The video is poor any way. The instructor is poor, the quality is poorly done. I highly recommend LEISA HART'S FITMAMA POSTNATAL AND FITMAMA & ME Videos instead, they are new and so muc better.

Get your sweat on!
This tape is great! Becky is VERY easy to follow (just remember - it's BACKWARDS) and you don't have to be an expert to do the moves. I had never used a video like this before and I picked it up in a snap. I've only been using the video for a few weeks and I am already looking and feeling great!

Great total body workout, but does not incorporate your baby
I ADORE this video as a postnatal workout, but don't be fooled by the title, you don't really do much with your baby until the very end. But let's face it, in order to get in shape, you're going to have to put your baby down and MOVE. My daughter loves to watch me on the step though! I do encourage using a step with this video. To the reviewer who claims the video is "dyslexic," many instructors use reverse instructions so that it mirrors you doing the exercises. That way, when the instructor says "right leg" and they lift their left leg, since they are facing you, it mirrors your right leg lifting. Confusing? Most instructors I have had use this technique.
