Synopsis
This is an excellent workout for pregnant women who have received their doctors' permission to exercise while waiting to deliver or when trying to lose weight after giving birth. This video is thought by many to be safe since it has been reviewed by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecologists. Instructor Madeleine Lewis provides special exercises that last about ten minutes each for the legs, buns, and abs after a brief warm-up done standing up. All toning work is done using a chair. Squats and leg lifts are also demonstrated. Though the music isn't very good, the workout is still a very popular one with many women. Special instructions are provided so that the viewer can be sure she is doing the exercises in the safest way possible. The purposeful lack of basic aerobic activities helps protect everyone.
