Great workout for Mom and Baby
I love this workout! My baby is 5 months old, so I wish I had gotten this workout earlier, due to the fact that you are supposed to use it for a 2 month old up to a 6 month old. It consists of classic pilates moves designed to tone your hips, abs and thigh areas. It also has some upper body moves where you use your baby as a weight to tone your arms. I enjoyed it, it was a fast workout but very vigorous. The instructions on how to do the pilates excersizes were very clear throughout. My baby seemed to like it too! Again, my only regret is that I wish I had gotten this DVD earlier in my postpartum days so I could have worked out with my baby more.

Short workout
This is a good workout for those of you who wants to try pilates and doesn't already have a pilates DVD. I bought this postnatal pilates DVD thinking it will be different than my regular pilates DVD. However, the exercises are the same as the ones on my regular pilates except it has one set of squats and one set of exercise to work your arms. The workout involves the baby by putting the baby on your lap during exercises like the hundreds and rollups. You work your arm by lifting the baby up and down. The squats are done by holding the baby close to your body. The baby is put aside for part the workout. This DVD is a waste of money for me because I could've used my regular pilates DVD and put my baby on my lap.

Good for a quick workout that involves the baby
I just received this DVD and did it with my baby for the first time this morning. Yes, it's short and doesn't have any chapters (which is annoying). But the short length of the workout is actually a positive for me because it's not so intimidating that I don't even want to start. Also, I love the fact that it really involves the baby and considers his needs as well as the mom's. My baby is 10 weeks old and really liked it. Of course, if you are familiar with the exercises already, I suppose you could figure out on your own how to involve the baby, but personally I find it comforting to have a video devoted to my needs as a new mom. Some of the moves are really hard, but fortunately there are alternative positions for us beginners (they're hard to see though--just a small inset in the corner of the screen). I'm really looking forward to doing this workout many times with my baby.
