Review

Sporting a bikini to show off her third-trimester belly,
instructor Karyne Steben, a world-class acrobat formerly with
Cirque du Soleil, takes you through this sculpting workout with a
nice combo of upper- and lower-body exercises.
Each move comes with options to make it more challenging, and
even advanced exercisers will find it hard to get bored with this
tape. All you'll need: a straight-backed chair, two big pillows
and a set of hand weights. --Fit Pregnancy magazine
I highly recommend both videos in the series if you are newly
pregnant or planning a pregnancy.
If you are a new Mom, give yourself the gift of the Postnatal
Video. In fact, if you have a pregnant friend, the videos make
the perfect alternative to the same old, tired shower gifts of
booties and bottles.

Here's your chance to find out what real athletes do when they're
pregnant!! Join in the fun with Karyne Steben, a former Cirque du
Soleil acrobat of eleven years, as she shares her secrets for
staying beautiful, y and fit throughout pregnancy with this
fun video.
When you just can't get to a pregnancy exercise class because
you work or are too tired, this is the answer for you!!
It's more than a regular workout done by a pregnant woman- it's
a chock full of exercises like labor squats, the kegel exercise,
and a mental focus exercise. (They say it's specifically designed
to prepare the body for labor and delivery- minimizing the stress
on your body and on your baby - sounds good to us!)
And the nice part is that a box appears when you're watching the
video for most of the exercises to show advanced exercisers how
to increase intensity. It's great to be able to be a beginner on
days when you feel tired and & advanced when you feel like Xena,
the Warrior Princess.
This video takes itself seriously and is well-done, with subdued
lighting complimented by Karyne's calming voice and really
hypnotic music.
Grab yourself a copy today and get started - it's never too
late!! --L.A. Pregnancy.com
About the Actor

Karyne Steben is one of the renowned Steben twins, known
throughout the world for their daring duo trapeze act.
The twins began their training in gymnastics when they were seven
years old and progressed to the trapeze at the age of ten,
developing the strength, discipline and courage that an act of
this caliber demands. At the tender age of 16, they began touring

Karyne and Sarah left Cirque du Soleil after 11 happy years to
pursue a career in acting, while continuing to perform their act

In The Perfect Pregnancy Workout, Karyne is a beautiful 7 ½
months pregnant. She gave birth to Azia, a y, active girl,
without an epidural. During active labor, when the nurse asked
her how she was doing she replied, "I love it!"
Due to her y lifestyle during pregnancy, Karyne was back to
her pre-pregnancy weight just four weeks after giving birth-
without any decrease in milk supply.
In The Perfect Postnatal Workout, baby Azia is seven weeks old.
Less than a week after the postnatal video was , Karyne was
