Wow, we have been pretty blown away by the feedback coming in on the Healthy Mummy Post Pregnancy Exercise DVD.
We had put an enormous amount of work into the DVD ensuring that it was the most useful exercise DVD that any mum could have (whether you were a new mum or a mum with older children), and ensuring the workouts were really challenging plus really safe and catered for mums with any special post natal conditions as well as being an intensive workout that did not put pressure on the pelvic floor.
Plus we made the workouts into 6 separate workouts that were easy to do over the course of a busy mums day as opposed to feeling like it was impossible to do it all at once (who has the time or energy for a 70 minute workout!?).
So we have been really excited (and nervous) to get YOUR feedback, but it has been rolling in! And everyone has also been kind enough to fill out the online survey we are also running giving their feedback too so thank you!
And to date over 500 mums have given us the feedback that they would recommend to their friends and that they love the DVD! Below are some of the feedback that has been sent in and posted on our Facebook page:

Robyn Parkinson’s Review
Robyn Parkinson’s ReviewI tried out the DVD tonight! I did the low impact cardio, the core workout and the stretch and relax.
I’ve never been into exercise DVDs before, but I really enjoyed doing these workouts in the privacy of my own home! The ten minute segment format is great and makes it easy to slot the workouts into your day.
I was really impressed with the low impact cardio segment. I had pelvic floor weakness for six months after my daughter was born and I wasn’t able to do any high impact exercise during that time. I really struggled to find a workout that would raise my heart rate and make me feel like I was working out and exercising ‘normally.’
I wish I had this DVD back then! I found that it got my heart rate up and felt like a good overall workout, whilst being pelvic floor safe. The routines were simple and easy to follow, whilst still feeling good to complete. I was still glad for the privacy of my own home though as I can be a bit uncoordinated when learning new routines, no matter how simple! Charlotte was being grumpy and clingy for the first few minutes but I was still able to do the routines as you can see in the photos – she just added resistance!
I did postnatal Pilates for months after Charlotte was born, run by a physio. I noticed that the core strength exercises were very similar to the ones we did in the Pilates classes, with the added bonus of being able to do these whenever I want, and not having to pay each time!
I really enjoyed the stretch and relax segment. We have been under a lot if stress lately and I really needed to de-stress. This was perfect. I turned the lights down and took 10 minutes all to myself whilst hubby gave Charlotte her bath. I felt a lot looser and relaxed afterwards!
I am not a morning person by any stretch of the imagination, but I am returning to full time work thus month, so I am planning on doing a 10 or 15 minute segment before work most days so I don’t have to waste my precious time with Charlotte trekking to the gym at night!
Delight Smallridge ‘s Review
“OMG! This DVD is great. I have always been very physical and love exercising. I have had so many exercise DVD’s in the past but I’ve never sweat like this and felt the work like I did today.
I did all the exercises – the advance cardio toning section kept my heart rate to the roof and was sweating after it. The arm work and leg work kept my muscle burning and the abs work was fantastic.
It’s a very well thought through exercise DVD and for us busy mums we can pick sections on the DVD that we can do for at least 30 min a day and it’ll raise our heart rate and feel like we really had a work out.
I’m going to use this DVD from now on a regular basis
Thanks so much for this fantastic product!”
