I've always done pretty hard core workouts and now that I'm pregnant id like to tone it down a bit and do some more appropriate workouts but the prenatal yoga DVDs ive tried aren't challenging at all. Does anyone have suggestions as far as DVDs? I'm 10 weeks along.

    My doctor told me I could continue to exercise as long as I felt comfortable and was able to talk while working out.  The issue with pushing yourself too hard is when you hit lactate threshold and are unable to get enough oxygen to your baby, even

    I've been doing Sara Haley's Expecting More. It has 6 workouts. I've found them more challenging than other prenatal DVDs I've tried. I love the workouts!
