I am overweight and 10 weeks preg.  I don't want to gain much weight, so any suggestions for a good prenatal workout video?

    What workouts were you doing before you got pg?  You don't want to start anything too strenuous, so if you weren't doing anything, I would suggest just walking either on the treadmill or outside (if it's not too cold).  Congratulations on the pg!

    I found two dvds on amazon that I really like.

    Prenatal Fitness Fix by Erin O'Brien.  It's a 40 minute video and she does some light cardio and good strengthening moves (squats, push-ups etc.).  Overall it is a good workout.  It gets my heart rate up to just the right amount while being pregnant.  Before I was pregnant I would work out and get my heart rate really elevated to around 160 - 170 but now I can't get my heart rate that high.

    Beautiful Belly by Patrica Friberg.  This is a bit longer of a workout, close to an hour.  You need a resistance strap and it's recommended to have a stability ball.  This workout tones your entire body and I think it is really good for pregnant women.  She also has a good session on doing kegels that she recommends you do it everyday even if you don't do the rest of the workout on a daily basis.

    I just ordered this work out program-

    I am excited to get it and try it out. :) It gives you a safe workout and yoga to do for each trimester plus a boot camp for after you have the baby. She is also giving away a free diaper bag with the program and free shipping. :)

    Thank you all.  I was exercising a min of 3 days a week at a zumba class and doin zumba at home.  I was active, I just started feeling aweful and stopped going, b/c laying on the couch felt a lot better than jumping around and throwing up.  I just think at this point trying to get back into zumba doesn't seem like a good idea.  I was looking for a prenatal video to try and help me work back up to what I was doing.  So it sounds like there are a couple that I will try.  Thanks again ladies!
