 | Not really focused on new moms Jan 1, 2009 |
| As a mom of a 3 month old I found the workout itself decent though not very specialized for new moms. Its a very basic workout, nothing new to be found here. I wish she would show actual mothers with babies doing the workout as she uses the medicine ball to demonstrate throughout. There is little to no instruction on proper form and I question some of the ab work for a new mother, there is a lot of twisting and crunches which i don't think a "new" mother should be doing as it could lead to worsening diastasis. There are much better videos out there. I suggest Erin Obriens Postnatal Workout. |

 | Not worth it May 18, 2008 |
| I bought this to use after I had my daughter. I had a rough labor and recovery so I wanted to take it easy. But this was to easy. I was bored and not at all "worked out". I never broke a sweat or drew a labored breath. Instead I started using the power 90 dvds. Perhaps the DVD was meant for new moms who weren't working otu prior to baby arriving. |

 | great, but a bit lacking Mar 5, 2008 |
Though it's a nice workout to do with your baby, JNL doesn't show you how to hold your baby. It would've been helpful if she included a baby for part of her routine so you can see how to hold your own baby while doing the workout. On the plus side, I do the workout when my baby girl is fussy and she's usually asleep half way thru the workout. :) I really gott thank JNL for that. :) |

 | it is great for new moms... Jul 25, 2007 |
| this dvd was great. at first i was iffy... she was repetitive on the "what to do with baby" instructions, but if you look beyond this it's a great video. I thought the exercises looked extremely easy, until i did them. i did the dvd yesterday, and i'm sore today. a good feeling! i'm looking forward to doing her total fitness also. |

 | Not as catchy as I thought Jul 7, 2007 |
| I keep up with reading Oxygen magazine. That's where I've seen JNL. The video is slow and didn't motivate me as I hope it would. She is a great role model though. |
