""I was having hip and lower back pain during my pregnancy, but then I started to do the 3 in 1 Pregnancy System with Pilates. These exercises strengthened my core which in turn helped to relieve pain. I was amazed on how strong I began to feel only after a few workouts. This new found strength helped me to cope with my ever changing body. It improved my posture and flexibility. I was able to continue with the DVD until the delivery of the baby. After giving birth with a caesarean delivery, I was surprised how great I felt. I swear it was from the core strength and overall conditioning I had developed from the Pregnancy System."

Good variety, low impact workout

"I bought this for my wife, who is a fan of Callanetics, pilates, yoga, etc. She enjoyed the workout, because it retains elements of her favorite exercises but modifies or omits the parts that would be difficult or detrimental during pregnancy.
During her first time watching the video, I heard her say "Wow, that feels really good" several times, even to some of the exercises that looked a little bit pointless to me. This is definitely tailored to the pregnant woman, but I found that I was able to see some benefit from most of the exercises as well (I should point out that I reserve exercise for special occasions).
I especially like the partner-assisted workout, as it gave me a chance to help my wife with some range-of-motion exercises. I also liked the relaxed atmosphere and home setting. It feels professionally done, but not sterile."
The exercise video for women who don't excercise.

"I think I am fairly healthy, I walk to work everyday and I am not overweight but I would NEVER go to the gym. I don't like to "workout" but I wanted my baby to be healthy. I picked this video after trying several from the library. I put it in just to see what it was like. The woman leading it was so friendly and encouraging that I thought "I could do that" and before I knew it I was no longer sitting on the couch watching but actually finishing the workout. I didn't get all sweaty; there is no hoping around or kicking your legs in the air. It focuses mainly on stretching and toning, parts of it I still can't do fully but I keep working on it. I felt very safe the whole time, never wobbly or like I might fall. I would highly recommend this to any pregnant women looking for a workout video."
The Best on the Market!

"I found this Video very well paced and Tracey cued like a true proffessional. The Video was split in to four sections, CORE, Lower Body, upper body and a section where Dad can join for some assisted stretches which was a nice bonus!
This work out was very well modified for different trimesters and great for post natal.
I have brought other Pregnancy tapes but this is by far the best due to it's variations of Pilates, Yoga and weight training.
I can't wait to do more of Tracey's Tapes....she's very inspirational and charming with her beautiful English accent."
My favorite!

"I have 3 pre-natal DVDs and this is by far my favorite. I don't know whether it is Tracey's Australian accent or merely the moves. I find her endearing so she is not as annoying as some of the other hosts and I like that her husband is a Physical Therapist.
As someone who had piriformis/sciatic problems even before pregnancy, some of her stretches feel fantastic and I find myself referring to the DVD when I feel a little tight. My only wish would be for her to hold some of the stretches longer (like the Mermaid). Most PTs will tell you to hold for at least 30 seconds.
I also like that she is modification friendly (but then again, most of the DVDs seem to be). If you can't fit your belly into a stretch or position, she shows you how to modify.
I like this DVD enough that I look forward to using it when I rotate my library!"
