Pregnancy fitness DVD - Davina not tough enough (yet...)

[DewinDoeth]

I usually do Davina's DVDs and they're great. I'm now 12 wks pg (2nd baby) and feel I might be able to do exercise again without vomming now (!!) but Davina's pregnancy DVD isn't very tough at all.
It will be fine by the third tri, I know! But for now, should I buy another preg DVD, and if so which one? Or should I continue doing Davina's non preg ones, with common sense on the jumping and abs work?

How about Erin O'Brien for example?

Hi dewin - sorry I don't have any experience in exercising during pregnancy, but from my own experience......

I started taking Zumba classes from just before I found out I was pregnant (I am now 15 weeks with DC1) and found it really good fun and exercise. I told the instructor when I was 6 weeks and she told me that "the general consensus is if you have exercised before you will be okay".

I have exercised before during the number of diets I had undertaken, but decided (at the time, wisely or wrongly) that I felt okay and obviously would only do the exercises / dance moves that my body felt comfortable to do. I'm glad I decided this as it made me feel really good. I only did so much that I didn't exhaust myself or get too hot and drank loads of water during and after.

I think from my personal thoughts in a nutshell, you just need to listen to your body and only do what it is comfortably able to do. x

I did the Erin O'Brien one. It's very good. Not too easy at all.

I've got Erin O'Brien's complete pregnancy fix www.amazon.co.uk/Complete-Pregnancy-Fitness-DVD/dp/B001CC7DN2/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1293811830&sr=8-4 and it's great. It's not as heart pumping as a run but it does get you a bit sweaty and makes you ache the next day (in a good way).

I finally gave up running at 20 weeks as it hurt too much (baby on bladder) but this dvd is keeping me happy.

Good luck! :)

Thanks for the tip on Erin O'Brien's one. I just bought it from BTR Direct for £9.99 shipped! I've been looking for a good program!
