Maintaining your current fitness level is the goal in this upbeat pregnancy workout from the Buns of Steel series. Fitness expert Madeline Lewis (in her third trimester, no less) smiles and chatters her way through a 45-minute low-impact routine. But low-impact, quite obviously, is not Ms. Lewis's typical style. This high-energy workout should appeal to anyone who enjoys the quick-paced repetition of basic or step aerobics. Following a 10-minute warm-up, traditional moves such as the grapevine, heel tap, and V-step get the legs in motion while the arms attempt to keep up with busy choreography. Fifteen minutes of aerobic activity is followed by about 10 minutes of toning; a modest but effective amount of tucks, squats, and bun-burning exercises is included. Unlike The Kathy Smith Pregnancy Workout--an excellent and comprehensive if slightly tamer routine--Buns will make you break a sweat. Heart rate and "perceived exertion" checks help you determine when to slow down. --Liane Thomas

 My Favorite video May 8, 2007

I love this pregnancy workout. It is intense enough for me to break a sweat and short enough to do on the week days after work. It is easy to learn the moves. It has variety and funs moves.

I absolutely love this video. I am a very active person and usually get bored really easily by workout videos. I especially hate it when the choreography is repetitive and boring.
I have to say, this video was my best friend during my pregnancy. I used it one time a week through all of my tri-mesters and felt great every time. Yes...the music is cheezy and hair styles on the women are totally 80's..but it is such a comfortable video for pregnant women that it makes up for it.
As a tip, sometimes I would turn on other music while I did the video just to change up the music because I started getting sick of it toward the end.
But overall I really recommend this video (especially over the Fit Mama video which I thought was deathly boring during the yoga section).
Thank goodness for a normal pregnancy workout May 3, 2005

When I was looking for a way to keep doing aerobics, I turned naturally to Kathy Smith, whose tapes I have been doing for years. But the reviews editorially and from the customers were so bad, I didn't want to take a chance. I also do a lot of Buns of Steel work outs from the 90s, and so when I saw there was a pregnancy tape, I decided to give it a try. The moves are fun and she adds on so you don't get bored. She also does a section of lunges, squats and some stomach work. I think it is a great 40 minutes. Plus the people in the video are really pregnant!!!
I don't advise this for anyone that wasn't in great shape before getting pregnant, but I am 6 months pregnant and still doing a Firm DVD work out (I am forgetting the name, but the main instructor is blond and the DVD is very new and high end), which for some reason, mixes low impact, squats, weights, some kickboxing and all so well, I never get winded and feel so good that I am still able to do more aggressive work outs. I do wear a stomach belt, though, as you have to be careful of your back and your belly hanging out without contracting your stomach muscles. I will probably stop though when I hit 3rd trimester.

I bought this tape when I found out I was prego with #2. I was a little out of shape and this tape got me into great shape. I found it easy to follow and also added a step into the workout to increase the intesity ( as it was okay-ed by my ob/gyn).
I only gained 20 pounds and found it great for the post natal work out too.
