@erikaskis Thanks Erika. I'm a real instructor, real doctor and real mom so what you see is just the truth. No fancy recording crew or editing. It worked for me and I hope to continue to hear from you that it's working for you, too.

Wow, these are awesome! I just checked out a prenatal yoga DVD from the library and I was disappointed - it was mostly sitting and stretching. I want a workout! These videos are great. Repeating one of them 2-3 times really gives me a good burn.

@usmanshaukat123 That's a good start, but you'll definitely want to get moving and do some cardio as well.
I have been doing a variety of your videos. I am 27 weeks pregnant and just realized that I have diastasis recti, about 3 fingers wide. This routine focuses a bit on the abs, and Im just wondering if they this workout is ok to do. thank you so much. I have been doing a lot of videos, including yoga and pilates, and just read that a lot of the things I have been doing can make the separation even worse.

@SophiePropper limit any exercises that cause the abdominals to flex, because that pulls the diastasis apart further

Your workouts are so fun! I feel really challenged by them, not only in strength but also in coordination and balance. It's so nice to get a great workout and have fun at the same time! I workout with you 5 days a week!

Hi Dr. Cathy - I am in my third trimester with my third pregnancy. I do 5 or 6 of your videos daily :) I really struggle with all the hip movement in this one. I feel like having a big belly throws off the rhythm I would naturally feel in my hips. Maybe I just feel a little awkward and unbalanced at this stage... Do you have any advice for me?

@mamamaria88 Let loose and enjoy - who cares how it looks! But if there is some discomfort - then please modify as you need. You can make the movements smaller or eliminate some of the hip stuff altogether.
