confidence builder.......2006-12-04
I found this DVD very helpful follwing the birth of my baby girl. After birth i found i was nervous about what my body could do, how it felt and whether everything was in working order!! With the help of this DVD i gained confidence about my body, re-connected with my body parts and had a little 'me' time. I found the relaxtion techniques useful and use them with out watching the DVD when i need to.
Relaxing Exercise!.......2006-09-27
I am very impressed with this DVD. I struggle to get motivated to exercise, but this programme is also very relaxing, so I am happy to get the DVD out. I have never done Pilates before, but Lyndsey's explanations are really clear and leave me confident that I am doing each stretch in the right way - using the muscles that I am supposed to be using!
The DVD has exercise sheets that you can print out on the computer. I have found these really useful as a reminder of the programme so that I can do it without the DVD if the time the baby is sleeping is limited.
Essential for all Mums.......2006-09-08
I would certainly recommend this DVD to all new Mum's. The exercises are in stages allowing you to start immediately after the birth and progress to further exercises as your body recovers.
It doesn't matter whether you have exercised previously. Personally I have been practicing yoga for several years and found the exercises and education invaluable. Even though I was familiar with many of the moves, knowing when they were safe to do and the benefits of them to a postnatal body was and still is really useful.
A section on preventing injury is excellent and really makes you aware of how you are carrying your baby/child. This has to be a good thing, as how many parents are there complaining of back ache from avoidable actions such as inadvertently carrying a child on the same arm!
The relaxation and breathing techniques by Amanda Latchmore are brilliant for regaining composure and reenergizing, particularly after sleepless nights or bouts of crying (either you or the baby!).
pilates for Mum.......2005-10-18
I have thoroughly enjoyed using this DVD. Having different sections which you can progress to has been great for me as it's given me something to aim for, unlike many home workouts. My back is already feeling the benefits.
