Item #7109	$14.95	In-stock: Yes

Surprisingly easy-to-follow Salsa aerobics followed by yoga-inspired toning. Every move is carefully designed for pregnancy. Featuring energizing Latin music, the cardio is super-fun but not at all complicated. And the toning is explicitly focused on minimizing pregnancy discomfort (e.g. specific ab and low back exercises to avoid sway back). Leisa Hart, in her third trimester, leads the workout, but the class also includes first and second-trimester women (so you can follow the group that best matches your level). Follows American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists guidelines. ©2002. DVD has: Chapter menus.

Fit Mama with Leisa Hart
my favorite
by far my favorite pregnancy workout video; Leisa Hart is very impressive, I have bought this dvd as a prego gift for several friends and they all rave about it, it is very very good! - posted by Shondra on 10/28/2008

great workout program for pregnant mama's,
Fitmama has some easy to follow moves in the salsa segment that are just what pregnant mamas need. It might seem repetitive to some, but it really isnt. It is well balanced, perfectly paced, and all in all a GREAT PRENATAL workout! - posted by Robin on 10/19/2008

Repetitive
I just bought this because it was so highly rated. One of the last reviews claims that this was a break from all the repetitive videos....I don't get it. This had to be one of the most repetitive videos I've ever done!! It was the same combos over and over. Especially the yoga section. It was still a good workout but I don't know how often I will do it as I was slightly annoyed with it the first time around. I will say that it was slightly more advanced and fast paced that some of the other pre-natal workouts. - posted by Cara on 10/6/2008

tried over 10 Prenatal dvds, this is the BEST
every prenatal dvd is repetitive, boring, and predictable, but FITMAMA is none of this, it is a GREAT workout. Leisa Hart does things her way, in a FUN, funky, effective manner, i love her teaching style, it is straight forward and gets the job done. She realizes moms are all over the place during pregnancy, and she does a wonderful job informing u what to expect and how to react to different feelings during pregnancy. The salsa dance is great, she teaches u the moves, does them again, and lets u groove your growing body to the music. Its the best pretnatal dvd, period! - posted by Yoliqua on 8/19/2008

Excellent!
Fitmama is excellent, the moves are not complicated, they kept me motivated during my pregnancy, and helped me stay focused on what is important, my new baby. I really enjoyed Leisa Hart's style, she was fun, and the background talent represented each stage of prego mommas, i loved being a "FITMAMA"!!!! - posted by Cindi Molley on 7/6/2008

best prenatal video
FITMAMA is by far the best fitness prenatal dvd i have ever used. i absolutley loved the routines and loved the instruction by LEISA HART, she was outstanding. This is a great gift for any mommy to be. - posted by Kelly on 5/28/2008

Wonderful
This is a great work out for anyone who's pregnant. The salsa dance is fun, and gets your heart rate up. The yoga has worked great, and I have even seen some definition come back to my legs! I would recomend this video to anyone! - posted by Shannon on 3/6/2008

Great pregnancy workout!
It took me a while to start exercising again after a rough first trimester. Leisa's tape has been wonderful as I enter my second trimester. I love her salsa cardio, although I wish she wouldn't repeat the mambp/chacha quite so much but it really gets you moving. The yoga section is excellent- it stretches all those tight muscles and works on breathing. I use this in conjunction with Denise Austin's tape- these two make a great combo! - posted by Meredith on 12/9/2007

excellent
Fitmama is an excellent dvd, the salsa dance was easy to learn and not overwhelming for my prego mind. the toning and labor moves were very good, it really helped me deliver my first baby with ease. leisa hart is an outstanding teacher, i loved her style. - posted by Nora on 7/19/2007

best prenatal workout
Having had 5 babies, i consider myself a so-called expert on pre and post natal workout videos since i have bought almost 20 of them. I have used FITMAMA for my last two babies almost exclusively as i find Leisa Hart to be an absolutely excellent instructor and i thoroughly enjoy her routines. They are not repetitive or boring, they are adjusted for a pregnant woman. i do not need to keep up my regular routines when i am prego, and so i find the FITMAMA workouts to be exactly what i need, and what i like, salsa dancing that is fun and yoga toning that does not put me to sleep. FITMAMA is by far the best prenatal fitness dvd, and is well worth it. Fitmama Postnatal is also very good, a great pick me up so i can get ready to start jogging and heading to the gym, i thoroughly LOVE Leisa Hart and her FITMAMA dvds. - posted by Katherine on 7/7/2007

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Chapter menus

You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).
