Sara does an incredible job of preparing an expectant mother for carrying a baby 9 months, delivering the baby and having the strength to carry on postpartum.Many of the other pregnancy videos are very basic, not even allowing the HR to go up.This one may be a bit challenging for those who have not been exercising, but I highly recommend trying and getting as far as possible, taking as many breaks as necessary.I am a certified personal trainer, also in prenatal/pospartum exercise.It is much more important to get in a challenging workout, even if more rests are required than to not try, or waste time on things that are too easy.This is the best full-body workout I have tried during pregnancy.This is my 2nd pregnancy, and I used this for my first through the third trimester.It was WONDERFUL!Again if some parts are too challenging, modify to a comfortable level but don't give up!Click Here to see more reviews about: Sara Holliday: Prenatal Yoga Series (2007)
