Amira's Belly Dance and Yoga for Pregnancy DVD, an Instructional Video for Prenatal Exercise and Workout (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was able to work out at the gym daily through my sixth month of pregnancy, but when it became too much (and my gym pass expired) I struggled to find an enjoyable way to keep moving. If only I had bought this DVD a lot sooner!

Amira gives concise and understandable instructions for exercises that almost any pregnant woman can do (I can do them, and I'm at 37 weeks!). The movements are gentle, fun, and relaxing, but best of all, I feel they are useful in preparing me for my upcoming childbirth. And my little one seems to enjoy them, too!

Amira says many positive and affirming things along the way. She encourages you to respect the limitations of your body and not overdo anything. She looks like a pregnant goddess and glows with respect for her body.

I wasn't too impressed with the extra footage - the interviews and such - but really, the workout alone was worth the purchase. It's a great buy and I would recommend it to anyone!
