DVD Description
Lindsey Jackson, the Pilates Instructor and Coach from the UK with a passion for supporting women’s wellbeing, has done it again! She has produced a 150 min Pilates programme that is meticulously designed in conjunction with Women’s Health Physiotherapists to help at every stage of your post birth recovery. It is safe and has the approval of The UK ‘Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Women’s Health’. Rigorously researched and planned, it is presented in a relaxed and fun ‘real time’ class style.
You get so much for your money is this DVD. It includes a gentle 0-6 week workout for new moms, a multilevel warm up and two more challenging workouts. These will progress you well post birth and leave you with a great foundation of strength. PLUS there are then two yoga sessions to choose from that will relax and rejuvenate your spirits. Pick and choose the sections that suit your ability and time available for a really tailored workout.
Extra DVD features include an interview with a physiotherapist telling you about how your body has changed and how to care for yourself as you care for your baby. Downloadable exercise routines from your computer mean you can print of specific exercises you like and carry them with you if travelling. An audio option (should you wish to replace the gorgeous sound track) means you can play music of your own choice.
This is a safe, effective programme that is packed with carefully chosen routines and extra DVD features. Worth its weight in gold; a great follow on to "Pilates in Pregnancy", Lindsey Jackson’s first DVD. Women should be given this automatically post birth. It tells them what they need to know and aids recovery superbly!
Special Features

I would certainly recommend this DVD to all new Mum's. The exercises are in stages allowing you to start immediately after the birth and progress to further exercises as your body recovers.
It doesn't matter whether you have exercised previously. Personally I have been practicing yoga for several years and found the exercises and education invaluable. Even though I was familiar with many of the moves, knowing when they were safe to do and the benefits of them to a postnatal body was and still is really useful.
A section on preventing injury is excellent and really makes you aware of how you are carrying your baby/child. This has to be a good thing, as how many parents are there complaining of back ache from avoidable actions such as inadvertently carrying a child on the same arm!
The relaxation and breathing techniques by Amanda Latchmore are brilliant for regaining composure and reenergizing, particularly after sleepless nights or bouts of crying (either you or the baby!).

I am very impressed with this DVD. I struggle to get motivated to exercise, but this programme is also very relaxing, so I am happy to get the DVD out. I have never done Pilates before, but Lyndsey's explanations are really clear and leave me confident that I am doing each stretch in the right way - using the muscles that I am supposed to be using!
The DVD has exercise sheets that you can print out on the computer. I have found these really useful as a reminder of the programme so that I can do it without the DVD if the time the baby is sleeping is limited.

I found this DVD really easy to use and I began doing it every morning, within 1 month my body had completely changed shape. I still have weight to lose but feel so much more energetic and miss it if I don't do some form of stretching during the day! It really helps your shoulders after feeding and carrying the baby.
I suffered with post-natal depression with my first child and found that the focus used on this DVD helped me stay very positive and in control after the birth of this child! I would strongly recommend this DVD to anyone who hates exercise or is too busy/tired, its well worth it! I have been doing it for 6 months now. (It also improves your sex life!!)
