Requires a lot of equipment
This DVD contains a lot of wonderful exercises. In fact, many of these are similar to exercises recommended by my physical therapist to improve core body strength and alleviate lower back pain during my first pregnancy. The classical music is also a nice touch, and I like the relaxation segment at the end.
The main criticism I have is that this DVD requires a lot of exercise equipment in order to follow along with the exercises as demonstrated.

I did not own any of the equipment she mentions except for the yoga mat. I wasn't going to go out and buy expensive equipment, so I tried using substitutes, but still you don't know if you are getting the best maximum workout. There is only...
Quick yet still a workout
Didn't have enough energy for an hour long session and this allows me to customize according to my energy level that day and for a shorter length of time, still leaving me feeling like I worked out!
