Item #7852	$14.95	In-stock: Yes

A challenging and well-cued workout taught by Billy Blanks’ daughter — Shellie (she’s understanding, caring … and already in great shape at 10 weeks post-partum). The moves are classic Tae Bo, just slowed down a little and re-sequenced into easier combinations. It’s specifically designed for new mothers, so Shellie emphasizes post-pregnancy exercises and precautions (e.g. “be careful, your joints are still soft”). But it’s not just new moms who might enjoy Shellie’s cuing and enthusiasm; this is an often-intense, no-nonsense Tae Bo workout. DVD includes an 8-minute interview with Shellie. ©2007. DVD has: Chapter menus.

Tae Bo Post-Natal Power

Love It!

This exercise dvd is wonderful! I am 52 and I love this video. I do Billy Blanks, but this is a nice alternative. I hope Shelly comes out with more exercise dvds. - posted by Linda on 10/25/2008

Nice way to ease back into shape

I bought this and 2 other dvds as motivation to get back into shape after my 2nd pregnancy. This--so far--is my favorite. It's easy enough that I can actually do it, but tough enough that I feel I'm doing something worthwhile. It does feel odd that there is a cardio section at the very end after the toning (when I'm already a little tired). Don't be fooled, there aren't really chapter selections on this dvd (though the case seems to indicate there are)...it's basically one long (one hour) workout. I also feel like it should maybe be a 45 minutes workout (an hour can be hard to do with little ones) but all in all, I really enjoy this. - posted by Alison on 8/26/2008

Shellie is amazing!

I'm going to be honest: I'm not a mom! But I bought this workout because I love Shellie and I admire her and her awesome body! This workout is great, I'm sure for new moms, but also for people just starting Tae Bo. Myself, I've been doing Tae Bo for about 3 years but this really teaches you great form and Shellie is a great instructor with great cuing and also is very inspiring and sweet. Plus, how could you not want to workout with Shellie, she had a baby 10 WEEKS before shooting and she looks better than people without a baby!! Will not disappoint! - posted by Liz on 2/14/2008

Great work out

Shelly is very upbeat and encouraging. Geared to new moms but would be a good workout for anyone. You can also mix and match the sections if you don't feel like doing the whole workout. I like doing several sections a day since I rarely have time to do an hour work out. - posted by Shana on 11/29/2007

Loved it!

This is a great work out. Really makes you feel your muscles. Very up beat and encouraging. If you're a beginner, you'll have to work into it. - posted by a fan on 11/28/2007

Good easy Low-impact for the never-been-pregnant!

I wanted to try this to get familiar with Tae-Bo style workouts, and also felt I could use it for an easy low-impact workout for when my knee doesn't feel as good. (I hurt my knee a year ago, and if I overdo it even with walking, I have to take it easy for a week.) I tried this today, and it starts out extremely easy and then gets harder during the last segments. It actually tested my endurance too, since it is 59 minutes long. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm a little sore tomorrow. I will definitely keep this for days I have to take it really easy, but still want to try to do something. I can see where this would be a great workout post-pregnancy too, and it's broken into many segments so you can do what you can and work up to doing all of it. Shellie is so pleasant and has such a positive attitude. She really makes you want to workout with her! - posted by Andelyn on 10/23/2007

Awesome Video

This video is just what I need! I had my baby five weeks ago and this is "just what the doctor ordered" for what my body needs right now. I love the different segments and that you can go at your own pace. Shellie is a great instructor. Her cueing is excellent and the pace is perfect. I love when she talks about how it takes awhile to "feel your abs". I'm so happy it's not me. I am going to give this as a baby gift for the mom from now on. - posted by Susan on 10/18/2007

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).

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).
