From the Actor
It feels good to be back in shape only 8 weeks after having my healthy 7lb., 7oz. baby boy! I had a short labor and delivery, and no epidural! There is no doubt that being in good shape and doing my Pilates for Pregnancy through my pregnancy was a part of my speedy recovery. My Pilates After Pregnancy program will help you get back your pre-pregnancy body fast if you are compliant with the program. As an experienced physical therapist, I have worked with many ladies that find it hard to regain their shape after having children. Once they start Pilates, they see those results that they only dreamed of. Activating the abdominal muscles with improved posture and strength will give you a great feeling… you will be jazzed that you are on your way back to recovery! Watch out… those clothes will fit once again!

Good Pilates, but not tailored for post-pregnancy,
By Lara F (Berkeley, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pilates After Pregnancy (VHS Tape)
This video is perfectly good as a normal Pilates workout, but it does not seem to be tailored at all for after pregnancy. Melinda does not suggest any variations for women with abdominal wall separation or C-section (though there is a small section at the end of the video of exercises that can be done in bed after a C-section, the one pregnancy-oriented section of the video). The primary workout seems quite rigorous for immediately post-birth, especially with no modifications suggested. The intro says that this workout should not be done until at least 4-6 weeks postpartum, which makes sense given its rigor. But then the cover shows a perfectly skinny Melinda, with the headline, "Look at her now!... Just 8 weeks after Melinda gave birth..." Has perfectly skinny, toned Melinda really only been doing her workout for two weeks? I was looking for a video which would show me a gradual way back to fitness, with appropriate modifications, and this video does not do it at all. I began my pregnancy extremely strong (I'm a professional dancer), but I have abdominal wall separation, and I need a sensible, gradual way to get my strength back, not a full-on Pilates workout with a video cover that claims that a perfect body can be had in a couple of weeks after recovery.

Post-natal Pilates,
This review is from: Pilates After Pregnancy (DVD)
I liked this dvd a lot. I think it is a good dvd for getting back into the swing of things with pilates. It is not for months down the road when you have your strength & energy back & need something longer. I did her prenatal pilates during my pregnancy, so many of the moves were familiar. If this is your first time with this program I would suggest watching & practicing the moves first & then do the workout since it is slightly fast-paced, but once you know the moves it is easy to follow

Seems just right to me,
By Dreamdog (PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pilates After Pregnancy (DVD)
Unlike the reviewer from Oak Park, I found this DVD to be just the right length and intensity. I have done yoga and Pilates before, so perhaps that makes a difference. However, I am not in very good shape at all. I didn't follow any kind of exercise program while I was pregnant--not even walking! I am now nine weeks postpartum and started using this DVD a week ago.I was afraid when the DVD started that it would move too fast, since the instructor said that people who had used her pregnancy video would be familiar with the moves. I didn't have any trouble following the exercises, though. Some of them are challenging, but I can do them all. I get a nice workout without feeling sore the next day. Best of all, the workout relieves the stiffness I get in my back, arms, and shoulders from carrying my baby all day. All in all, I'm really pleased with this.
