If you're a mother-to-be, but need some kind of exercise other than downward-facing dog and mountain pose, Leisa Hart's FitMama may be the workout for you. Developed by the fitness instructor during her first pregnancy, the DVD involves not just stretching but salsa dancing, stretches, and breathing exercises shaped to ease some of the discomforts of pregnancy, get your body in its best physical form, and prepare itself for labor and delivery. The effortlessly perky Hart works out alongside several women in various stages of pregnancy to show alternative moves and postures. She doesn't constantly bark "You can do it!" but rather urges you to do whatever is comfortable. But even with the lack of pressure, you can still enjoy the hip-swiveling salsa steps while working up a good sweat. Then cool down with the breathing section and stretches. You'll need a mat and pillow. An exercise ball and strap (you can use a towel) are also used but not required. Whether you're just getting over morning sickness or nearing your due date, FitMama is a useful and fun way to stay in shape without leaving your house.-Ellen A. Kim

 Excellent overall workout March 1, 2010
Miss Zelda (Houston, TX USA)
I started using this DVD when I was about 10 weeks pregnant and am now almost 27 weeks and am still using it quite regularly which I think is a testament to its quality. In addition to being a nice, overall workout for your whole body, Leisa is by far the least annoying workout personality I've ever witnessed. Her perkiness is minimal and her enthusiasm seems genuine. I've been doing this workout about 3 times a week (alternating the yoga with the salsa and finishing each workout with the floor work) and overall have been feeling pretty good. It takes about 40 minutes to do either the salsa and the floor workout or the yoga and the floor workout. Haven't had enough energy to do the entire DVD which would be about an hour long workout. Prior to getting pregnant I was in fairly good shape, working out 3 times a week doing step aerobics or swimming, so I did feel like I was in decent shape when I started this DVD. However, I think its intensity level can be adjusted for anyone at any stage of fitness - even those who didn't work out prior to getting pregnant (once you've cleared it with your doctor, of course). I hope to be able to use this DVD until the end of my pregnancy!
 pretty good February 23, 2010

This really is a good work, it's not a fast pace workout by any means though. It will get your heart rate up, I was disapionted it wasn't a little harder though. I have since found a website, [...], that is very helpful in selecting workouts. Search the title or catagory at the top. Each workout that comes up will have a collage of clips from the video. That sounds really dorky but I hope it helps.
Easy to use! February 17, 2010
D. Ballentine (Southwestern Michigan)
Leisa Hart's Fit Mama DVD is easy to use. I've enjoyed the stretches the most. I bought it to keep me active throughout my pregnancy. It has made me more comfortable so far. She has a section for Yoga and Salsa dancing. She explains really well. She gives cues when the movement is going to change. Ms. Hart encourages listening to your body throughout each section, so they workout doesn't become too much. I'd recommend buying this DVD for your at-home-workout. It was much cheaper than a gym membership and finding maternity workout clothes!
Not for me February 2, 2010
A. Vessels (Okinawa, Japan)
I was really wanting to like this DVD. However, I just can't do it! I purchased it at the beginning of my second trimester and every time I do the salsa portion I get sharp pains in my belly. I am now 31 weeks and still get those pains. The yoga portion is pretty good, but I would not purchase the DVD just for that alone. I was fairly active before getting pregnant and still do cardio and yoga at the gym 3-4 times per week. I love Leisa's energy, but this just isn't the right workout for me.
 there has to be a more current dvd for pregnant women! January 21, 2010
V. Macias
now i love leisa hart, she's such a sweetheart, but this dvd is so dated! I honestly felt a little silly doing the workout. The workout itself and the music were so 15 years ago! How could they possibly make salsa lame? I think for women that were into regular excercise and fit before pregnancy there definitely has to be a better workout dvd for us. I honestly burn more calories speed walking and have a way better music selection on my ipod. I really dont recommend this dvd and if anyone would like to buy it used from me for cheap I'd be happy to oblige. Likewise, if there are more modern women out there who have any good recommendations please let me know!
